Another Hat and Scarf Set

 I had finished this hat and scarf set a few months ago. See, I really am slow about sharing things. This set is for a little bit older young lady than the one I made the pencil scarf set for. I love the hat, it seems like slouchy hats are warmer because you can pull them waaaaay over your ears. This scarf is a bit on the small side but the lady I made it for is petite. I like scarves like these because they are easy to wear as an accent accessory with a sweater or turtle neck if you prefer. Enough gabbing for now and here come the pictures.

A Hat and Scarf Set Is Finished

 Howdy Folks, yep it really is me. I'm getting tired of moping around and feeling sorry for myself so I have finished some crochet projects. I am working on things for Christmas. I made this scarf and hat for a sweet young lady. Here's the pics:

I enjoyed making these. The only thing I had issues with was the pencil scarf rows angled a bit and I'm not sure why. I do like both the scarf and hat and I may make both of them again sometimme.

Stay safe folks. 

Hugs,

Almost Forgot to Share this with You

I had a nice sized bunch of yarn left from one of my afghan projects so I decided to make a scarf from it. This is an easy pattern to make and even the name for it is simple-- Free Crochet Pattern Ladies Scarf. The yarn I used is DK weight, as the pattern called for but I have also made a scarf from this pattern using a worsted weight yarn and it worked out fine. Without further ado, here's the picture:

I hope everyone is happy and healthy. Sending out happy thoughts to everyone with plenty of affection too.

Cute Multicolored Scarf

Today's finished object is a multicolored scarf. This is made from Lion Brand Mandala Yarn. I am not sure what the color's name is because I threw away the wrapper. It "might" be Thunderbird but like I said, I am not sure. I used the Maureen pattern to make this. It was an easy pattern to make and I leisurely made it in 2 evenings watching TV.

Here are the pictures:

Thank you for visiting. Hope to hear from you again soon.

A Scarf and Slippers

Thought I would share a few projects with you today. I had bought a cake of Bernat pop! yarn. The colors are beautiful and out of impulse I picked up the color blue blaze. I got it home and then spent most of an evening looking at patterns trying to decide what the heck to do with it. After several hours of perusing patterns on line, on the computer and in books I finally decided to make the flights of fancy scarf. I think it's pretty darned cute. I love the colors in it.

Of course, whenever I have a nice size chunk of left over yarn, I make some slippers. Here's a couple pairs that have recently entered the gift drawer.

Take care my friends.

A Couple Hat and Scarf Sets

Didn't want to share these with you until after Christmas. We had a quiet Christmas. Husband, his mom, son #1 and I had Christmas dinner together. Husband did a nice thing for my Christmas. I had lost the diamond in my engagement ring and he had it replaced as well as re-enameling the lettering on my Hawaiian wedding band and a Keurig coffee maker. Back to the subject of crochet, here's a couple hat and scarf sets. One is for a young lady and one is for a gentleman. Here's a look at a few pictures.

I used the Drops Pattern called Broadway with the addition of a flower.

I love the yarn I used to make the red white and blue scarf. It is a Red Heart yarn called Americana. I made this scarf using the granite stitch aka moss stitch so there wasn't a pattern. I know many people use this stitch for color pooling but I haven't had much luck with it but I like the texture of the finished product when using this stitch with most yarns.

This gray hat is what was called a watch cap when I was in the navy. This pattern calls it a seafarers cap. 

This scarf is made the same way as the red, white and blue scarf. In real life, I didn't notice the argyle-like design; looks like I might have had an inadvertent color-pooling success.

This is it for now. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Hugs,

Sharon

Shades of Purple--Hat and Scarf

Last night, I finished a hat and scarf set for my neighbor. It's her birthday party tonight and even though I'm having problems with my leg and won't be going, I wanted to send her a little something to help wish her a happy birthday.

Here's some pictures--

I made the hat a little "slouchy" and added several rows to the scarf to make it wider. Another change I did was I made the fringe with 1 strand of yarn at the end of each row. I included the end of the row yarn changes in the fringe and that way I had zero ends to weave in.

Have a great weekend.

A "Batch" of Completed Projects--

I have had these projects finished for a couple weeks and have just  now gotten around to taking pictures and posting them. These are for a special person and I don't care if this person reads about them before receiving or not because this person deserves a smile on their face and I hope the anticipation of receiving these things will bring one on. This person has always been special to me and I don't know how to emphasize it enough so I decided to crochet some things. Crocheters know, that when you work on projects for your loved ones, you are infused with love and good thoughts and wishes for that person. I definitely wouldn't spend my evenings for several weeks working on something for someone I didn't care for. Okay, enough rambling on. Here's the pictures and pattern links.

0-980 Carmel by DROPS Design:

Scarf for man made with granite stitch: This yarn isn't quite right for color pooling but the design is unique and I like it.

Man size Slipper Sock:

Granny Goes Ripple Afghan:

The yarn I used for these projects (except for slippers) is I Love This Yarn in "Camo" and "Dark Olive."  For the slippers I used 1 strand of the camo and 1 strand of "Lace" by Caron One Pounder. This is all for now. I still have more finished projects to post but I will save those for later.

Bless all,

Sharon

A Few More Items

Here are some projects I recently finished. They were all easy and quick to make. I used Caron Cake yarn to make the hat and scarf. I love the colors this yarn comes in but I'm just not too fond of the flimsiness of the yarn and the recommended hand washing of items made from it. Some crocheters have machine washed their items without problems but just be careful.

Hat made with Caron cake yarn :

Scarf to go with the hat. The pattern makes a short scarf that fastens together with a button. I made this scarf a longer length and omitted the button. Here it is:

Slippers

I am working on a manly looking afghan and it's almost 1/2 way finished. It's coming along nicely and I hope to have pictures before too long. 

Wishing you all happiness and health...

Still Crocheting...

Here are some more finished things I crocheted.

Merry-go-round dishcloths:

Bubble dishcloth:

Can't find the scarf and hat patterns I used for these. I don't think I downloaded them, might have just had them on the screen of my laptop while I crocheted them. The yarn is a very soft mill end I got at Joann's. 

Slippers for woman:

We'll be headed back to Kentucky before the end of the month but before we go, our older son is coming down to see us tomorrow (in Florida) for a quick visit. It will be great to see him and it will be nice for him because Kentucky is having a very cold spell this weekend.

I've been doing the A to Z Challenge 2016. It's interesting and I'm finding a few interesting blogs to read. Check it out for some interesting reading.

This is it for now folks!
