Yellow Knit baby Blanket

I decided to do an experiment with knitting three sections. Not sure I like this blanket due to the three sections stitched together. It looks nice far but up close it's well to me not very pretty or I am just being to hard on myself.  Bright yellow and white.

For the sides I did shell stitches and for the top and bottom just double crochet border. 

I hated this so I got rid of it

Crochet Angel

This is so flipping cute. I had to try and make one myself. So simple. I found this online.

I can't get over how cute.

Okay so here we go:
Any hook and any size yarn.
I used red heart yarn ply 4
Hook G

I made a magic circle: Chain 4, slip stitch, chain 3
R1- 12 dc in the ring, slip stitch and chain 3
R2- 2 dc in each dc 5 Times (=10dc) Chain 3. Take the yarn off and replace with glistening silver ,if you wish to have sparkling wings. (optional) I used white.
R3- 2 dc in each dc 10 times. 
R4- ( 1dc, ch1) in each dc (=20dc) now is the wings finish, change yarn.
R5- start in 7th chain with slip stitches. Chain 1, *(2dc,ch1,2dc) * repeat *_* until you have 4 groups.
R6- ch3, * (2dc,ch1,2dc) 
R7: repeat 6
R8: Chain 3, 1 single dc, chain 1, repeat across
R9: 1sl st in 1ch,*4dc in the 1ch,* repeat *_* Across row
Then I slip stitched on the wing to make the color look like the other side and slip stitched and tied it off.
You can glue a magnet or hang on your tree or in your car. 

(optional)
To strengthened the angel:

Start by putting plastic on your block mat , so that the angel does not stick . I 'm using a regular plastic bag.
Mix equal parts 1 Tablespoon water and 1 Tablespoon wood glue. 
Dip the angel in the glue mixture so that it is properly soaked . Squeeze out the excess 
glue .Let dry then hang.

Crochet hat

I have been searching for awhile on a decent pattern for a crochet hat since my knitted hats are to tight and cut off circulation when an adult wears them. I wish those hats was one size fits all but alas they do not.
I finally found one and made this hat in 1 day. I made it a bit big but it has many different styles you can do with the hat.

Zig Zag for Cassie

I am making another Zig Zag, only this time it's not going to be back loops only this one is going to be single all throughout the blanket. Colors: Light Blue, White, Med Purple and Panther pink. So I got to line 40 and started the new color panther pink.
I can't wait to see 10 lines of panther pink. It's pretty.

Blanket on row 105
I am on row 140, I am considering on putting edges to help make the quilt not curl I don't know though still debating.
So I decided not to do edges or a border and left it as is. I finished at row 190. I hope it will be long enough.
Finished 02-17-2016
couldn't fit it in the photo. The edges kept curling I hope it can relax after a few good uses.

Doilies

 I had gotten a request to make some Doilies. She had asked for one yet doilies with this ply is so easy and fun to make. I used red heart ply 4 and this is how they turned out. I used three patterns online and one my own design.
Stars. I wanted to put them together but couldn't get them to fit right due to them being different sizes. So they can be used as coasters. 

I left this one on parchment paper so I could transfer it back and forth from the box. This one is suppose to be a flower. Not really sure I like this one.

This one I used four different stitches. Single, double, popcorn, and scallop. I used my own design. It turned out very pretty. I think I'll do another one with bright yellow and white. Still considering.

This one is the oval and found the pattern online. The pattern wanted me to do 15 lines. I reduced it to 8 lines instead with a scallop stitch around.

Here is the last and final doily I have made.
no pattern for this one, just random. I wanted to do a popcorn in the middle and this one came out better than I expect. Very pleased.

Crocodile shawl done

Sweet I finally finished this purple, black and blue crocodile shawl. Took me forever and kept running out materials or other issues that kept me from finishing. I finished 11-13-15. I gave Robyn one already. I may trade her for this one instead which was originally meant for her anyway. I don't know but I am glad it's done. I can now relax for awhile.

Whirli gig

Wow, I haven't made one of these in a long, long time. I almost forgot how to make this. I had a hard time finding the middle beads so I had to make due with another. It's not like the original and felt like old times of making this. I am not going to give out the details on how to make this for it takes time and I rather charge for the pattern. Sorry not trying to be mean just the way I feel about this particular project.

Some like a tail on the bottom, others prefer a diamond gem. I make a few different sizes. Extra small, small, medium, large and extra large.
