Gifts for Christmas??? In January???

Found this CAL (Crochet-a-long) that spends all year making gifts, so that when Christmas comes around, you are ready with gifts to give.

The first pattern was a hat.

I'm not so sure I would have picked this pattern from a list of patterns - 

but, I think that it turned nicely.  

The picture of this pattern had ribbon woven in on the bottom. 

I wasn't sure what color to use. 

What do you think? Dark green? White?  

This was a very easy pattern

Kind of looks like a Christmas Tree, doesn't it?

 

Then, I showed it to Lynn (my youngest daughter) and she took it.

Okay, I told her she could have it!

 I looks good on her!

(But, I said "Merry Christmas!!)

Just In Time For Super Bowl!

My nephew was expecting his first baby this month!

My nephew is on the football team at college. 

I was so excited to make a little football hat. 

I saw the pattern, and whipped it up over a weekend! (I was quite proud of myself)

He had the baby last week

Welcome to little Carter Max

What a sweetie!!

Repeat Crafter Me had the pattern

(love her site)

What's Hap-pinning Wednesday

Linking up here

It's been awhile since I blogged about my pins.

I really find it nice to go back through my pins, and look at what I found interesting in the last few weeks!

Still pinning Christmas - but I won't bore you

Easter is coming - and this looks so cute!!

 Maybe make a garland out of them!

Now for the crochet pins (of course)

 Baby blanket

Something cute for my little granddaughter!

Cute way to package my homemade gifts

Cute little fruit (maybe for my nieces?)

And, last but not least - the cutest doxie purse ever!

Wonder Crochet Blanket CAL

Well, I'm going to start another Crochet-A-Long

I know, I know, you never saw the 2015 baby blanket crochet-a-long finished. 

I still have it on my mind - knowing I need to finish it! 

 But, something more "flashy and bright" caught my eye....

 I have ADD... okay???

Anyway - be happy for me.....

This one is a little different. I will be crocheting rows, instead of blocks.... the up side: No joining.... YAY!!!!

Anyway.... here are my first 6 rows:

 

I don't have a color scheme.

I am using my stash of yarn.

 That is the only way that I was going to justify doing ANOTHER project!

Cozy Posy Scarf and Headband

 These are the gifts that I made for my sweet nieces.

They are so soft and cuddly - I wanted to make one for myself!!!

        

 It appears that the girls liked their scarves and headbands!

I don't know where Hannah's headband is - I will have to investigate this matter!!
