Holiday Season is upon us

I am in shock. I drove through my town last week after Halloween and there it WAS!!!!!!!! Christmas decorations in town and the TREE. I think that stinks. It is just too early. I am so far behind too on gifts. I am making most of the gifts I have this year and WOW am I behind. I have been busy though. I finished this bag about 3 weeks ago.


It was a mistake made good. I was suppose to have a cowl our of this and MY HEAD is just too big. UGH.

AGAIN an attempt at Cowls got me this Bag

Don't get me wrong. I like the bags but My neck is going to freeze this winter. UGH
Scarves work so much better.

October and where did the year go?

DANG!!!! It's already Fall and today is chilly so I can't really see it's coming. Winter is around the corner. Is this good - yes and no. I love the cold but will miss shorts. I have been really busy working on stuff. I wanted so bad to finish several projects and am having a hard time doing so. Seems just too busy. I have finished these though.

Hopefully I can get the rest of the Pictures up here soon. Hope you have a great Halloween..!

Busy Bee this month.

Althought it has been a REALLY busy month, I have managed to get somethings complete.
I finished this and this . This is the Arrow Shawl from Annette Petavy . I did two of them for the simple fact I was experimenting. I have issues with Wool so I used cotton the first time. An egyptian cotton and then I switched to what the shop told me was a finger weight and I think it is Feather weight. This is the size of a scarf....LOL. I also have worked on these. and . I finised a sweater that I had to work on a bit.

September

With all the storms rolling through you would think I could get some Crocheting done. I wish!!! I have managed to Knit a Cowl I designed. Knit a Scarf I designed and a Neck Cowl that Buttons that I designed. I switched to knitting for a break. I am working on a CAL with Ravelry for the Turnberry Cardigan by TheCrochetDude. I can't wait to move on with it. I have so much I want to do but so little time. Recently we lost our Washer and Dryer and this weekend I lost the Refrigerator in our kitchen. UGH. We lost all our food and had to replace everything. One more day in paradise. Things Happen. So soon I will have some patterns available, hopefully!!

August is Here.

WOW. How did we get to August so quick. I guess I am lucky, I have already started Christmas shopping. COOL!! I found somethings at craft fairs for family and stashed them away. I also have some crochet I would like to finish for gifts but it has been so busy I haven't been able to keep up. My parents and sister are coming next weekend and that means cleaning and preparing for a visit. I recently commited to publishing a design so that will keep me busy for a while. I need to test my two patterns and then submit. So, well see what happens. I finished the Wrap I designed so that I will be posting soon. I need to take Pictures. I also completed a pair of wrist warmers and fingerless gloves. So winter here I come.

What in the heck am I doing now?

I am working on the below Heart Design. I created a graph for it and have started the pattern with Cotton wool blend size 3 thread. I used Plum and lavender. It is beautiful. However, I put that pattern on hold for a new Testing pattern I am working on for Carol Ventura. Her pattern is done in size 18 Omega Nylon. I am so use to smaller sized omega. I usually use size 2. So this is new for me. But I do like what is becoming the new bag. I took a small break between Elvis and the Omega bag. I made a shawl or Wrap. It is made with Senso size 3 cotton in Carmel and Tan colors. It turned out really nice. I just blocked it and need to throw on some tassells, then I will post pictures. I designed the pattern from old Motif's I had found a pattern for. After the Omega bag is done I am moving onto a stole called "Arrows" . There is alot of talk about this and I had to jump on that wagon. I bought the yarn this past week. But again I can not start that until I get done with the Omega bag.

New Bag To Make

This is something I have gone back and forth on. I didn't know if I wanted to do it. Since it is for me I will take My time and make it as I go. I am using the Pattern below to create a Tapestry Crochet bag. I love the design and hope it works out.

I am hoping to start these as well.
