Dragon Scale Scarf

Rainbow Mosaic Dragon Scale Scarf on Ravelry

I used Bernat Mosaic in the color Psychedelic.  It's 100% acrylic and it feels really nice to work with.  The texture reminds more of cotton yarns and my only complaint is that it gets a bit twisted and if you untwist it to quickly, you can actually pull it apart.

Pumpkin Patches

I adopted Patches from the wonderful Petaluma Animal Services (PASF) shelter on a foster-to-adopt program. Renamed her Pumpkin Patches She had been turned in repeatedly for litter box issues. She spends the majority of her time hiding in the bathroom, but she's working on her bravery and she's a HUGE fan of belly rubs.

Lamb Hat & Shrug for Jenny's Baby Girl

This little Rejoice Shrug was quick and easy to make. I actually wish the pattern was in adult sizes, too. Note to self - *Finishing Sleeves section - when the instructions say 'Continue as established for 3 rows,' it does NOT refer to increases.  Do not increase in this section.

I used Bernat Cottontots in blue berry; machine washable and dryable, 100% cotton for my first attempt, but I goofed up and added unnecessary increases in the section mentioned above.

The final shrug was made on size 10 needles using Lyon Brand acrylic yarn in cream in size 6-12 mo to help compensate for the smaller sized needles.

I made the lamb hat in size 0-3 mo from the pattern Crochet Lamb Hat in Red Heart heather grey acrylic yarn using a K hook. I used Lyon Brand acrylic yarn in cream for the insides of the ears.

I made the bow using thick red yarn thread (I have no idea what it is, as I bought it at the thrift store) and size 1 needles.

Divine Hat for Sara

Merry Christmas

Happy Housewarming 

Happy Birthday, Sara, Hat

I found this Divine Hat to be the perfect use for my silky yarns.  After working the pattern one time, I felt like it needed this note *on the sc round, be sure to start at the fpc st.

I made a pink hat for Sara in Red Heart Soft in Rose Blush, worsted weight, 100% acrylic.

I crocheted 3 extra rows of the flower pattern to make a slightly bigger version. I worked the brim rows with the front and back posts inline making it sort of rib stitched.

~~~

I also made the hat in Caron Simply Soft in Black, worsted weight, 100% acrylic.

It came out a little small for my head, leading me to add a few rows to my second try with the pink version.  I worked the brim rows with alternating front and back posts just to see how it would turn out. Also, I finished with an extra row of sc using a G hook to try and make the brim a bit smaller.

Happy hats with the birthday girl.

Thank you to my hat model, Kayla.
