This is my husband modeling his Anarchy Irony Hat-the pattern is from Debbie Stoller's Happy Hooker book. He has never asked for anything crocheted-he doesn't like anything homemade looking and would only wear this if I made it "professional" looking. Guess I passed.

This is a Christmas present for my 13 yr old stepdaugher. It is made with the big size Q hook with bulky Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick n Quick in Denim and 2 strands of Fun Fur in blue. It has a blue heart button with a crocheted loop and 2 snaps sewn in for closing. Very easy and fast to make.

Skateboarder Hats

My son has of course already lost the winter hat and 2 pair of gloves I bought him so I made these 2 skateboarder style hats for him last night. Since we got a lot of snowfall on Dec 1 and the temp has since dropped to about 9 degrees he really needed these-of course it helps he likes them and thinks they're cool.

2nd Purse

This is the 2nd purse I've made recently. I don't like this one as well-I don't think I did a really great job on this. Its made with Homespun yarn and lined with black. It looks better being held by the handles but I didn't have a model when I took the pics.

Newborn Bico

This is the second Baby It's Cold Outside sweater. It is a newborn size this time made with some navy Bernat and SWS yarn.

Sugar N Cream Rug

This is rug made from a freebie pattern from Sugar N Cream. I'm not a sewer so I think I will ask my mother-in-law to sew some type of backing on so I can possibly use this as a bathroom rug.

Murphys Star Blankie

This is a star blankie I made for my dog Murphy. It was originally going to be a blanket in Cubs colors but I really liked this star pattern I got from The Diva Crochets! blog. http://yarn-diva.blogspot.com/2006/03/free-star-shaped-afghan-pattern.html
The pic below is Murphy crashed on the couch with her blankie.

Purse-first attempt

This is my first try at crocheting a purse. The pattern is from the Lion website. I used 2 strands - Homespun Baroque and Patons Shetland Chunky Tweed in Bisquit. I also used a different flower pattern and added a little bling in the center. The lining is packaged fabric from Michaels. I might try making another with plastic handles instead of crocheted ones. http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/cctq-twoRedsBag.html?noImages=0

Baby It's Cold Outside Sweater

This sweater is made from the Baby It's Cold Outside pattern by Julie Holetz for the Crochetville crochet along. I made this last night while watching tv-very easy and fast. I used a J hook and 2 strands of Bernat yarn-a garnet worsted weight I had from a kit I never used and white Baby Coordinates. This will make a great holiday sweater for a little girl. I think I will also make a matching hat. http://www.crochetme.com/Feb_Mar_2005/patt_baby_sweater.html

Chenille Thick n Quick Afghan
