Crocheting

So I've recently dove back into crocheting. It's been about 5 years, so I started again with my own pattern of a soap sock. I made it for my mom for Christmas. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I will be posting the pattern soon.


I am really interested in amigurumi. I am going to start the amigurumi bunny, by happyberry, soon for my niece for Christmas.

Another hat

Again I am knitting a Hogsmeade Hat. This has to be my all time favorite hat pattern. I am knitting this one for my son who is coming to visit me the week following Thanksgiving. I wanted to have something nice for him that is useful for a 15 year old and I thought this would be perfect for this winter.

Socks and scarves

About a week ago I started my own design of a Hogsmeade Scarf to go with Scott's hat, it is coming along nicely.

However, yesterday my dpns came in the mail, so today I started on a pair of socks for Scott. I am so excited about knitting socks again! I got some wonderful Yarn Bee yarn from Hobby Lobby called Hint of Silk and it is beautiful to work with! I also bought some Yarn Bee Fresh Haven yarn to knit me some socks. I'm all about socks this Fall.

I had Scott fell the Hint of Silk yarn that I'm making his socks with and he loved it! He seems really excited about getting a pair of handmade socks. That makes me more excited about knitting them.

Prayer Shawl

I knitted this prayer shawl for my mom several years ago and thought I would share it with you. It is from the prayer shawl ministry. I did it in Lion Brand's Homespun yarn. I don't remember the color though.
