Merry Snowmen

So Jon Michael got in the spirit with me and helped me make this quick kit. He did three. I did three. It was fun and now it is another kit I've bought done and not just sitting in my studio with me trying to find a place to put it. Will use these as gifts and package decorations.

Penguin Ornament

Found some Christmas kits in my studio. What's the point of having kits if you never make them? So I started with this little guy. Plan on giving him Rooney of my daughter's friends with a particular fondness toward penguins.

Fake out

Okay, I've posted these before but I mad two more that left my possession before I got a picture so this is just to keep my count straight. One went to my friend, Jenny Markum who gave me the yarn and another was stuck in a wedding shower gift.

Another pair of converse

We had another baby shower the other day and I knew these would be quick and easy and always welcomed. So I made another pair.

Close up Views of the bugs

These were all in one of the kits. Great bugs and fun embellishments.

More Preemie Hats

I have seven little hats in my bag for Vanderbilt NICU. I had sent all the last bag months ago and then got busy and have just now gotten in the mood to do some more. Here are the ones I did tonight. One is crochet using one of the new embellishments I made and one is a simple crochet skull cap and my favorite is the little knit cap with a purple stripe. I'm just going through my scrap yarn bag and made these out of leftovers. They are all bagged and tagged now and waiting for more. I send my bags stuffed full! If anyone else wants to join me I can send the main pattern. They are like potato chips though. Very addicting!

Hat Decorations

So about a month ago I was in Dollar Tree, one of my favorite places to browse....and buy. They had some "Learn to crochet" kits that had yarn, patterns and hook. So, I bought one of each thinking I could use them with my clients. Patterns were easy to read and the embellishments turned out pretty cute. I plan to use them on my chemo and preemie hats. This is one of each. Each kit made three.
