Yep I'm making Chicken Sweaters. Now I don't have chickens but I took my nephew home that I have been having problems figuring out what to make for Christmas. Yes my nephew has chickens. He is in FFA and has 4 chickens. So now he has one that has plucked all it's feathers out so being the loving aunt that I am I hate to think about an animal freezing in the winter here. Well I can't just let one have a nice sweater but I got to make sure there are enough for all of them.
I will be using the two patterns and making two of each.

Crochet Crowd Mystery CAL
I want to join this and see if maybe I can get a good Christmas gift for someone in the family out of this. The pattern will be released later today.
7/18 - So I forgot that the CAL started and got the information late. Looks like I could possibly do this one as a gift if I can buy extra yarn when I go get the yarn for the commission.

Oldest Two Youngest
So the name I’m using has to do with an idea my mom had for the second part of this. She will be doing the gingerbread houses and I’m doing the bears. It’s for some cousins that I have that I never see and there are three of them hence the title of the project. My mother and I were working on some of our projects while at a family gathering. Now most would say it's rude but honestly the part of the family we were with aren't very...social with her and I because we are the "black sheep". I guess I have enough yarn that could be considered true about me lol.
Anyway so we were crafting and my cousins were eyeing our projects and we decided we would make matching items for each with two of their favorite colors. Now if you follow me on Facebook you would have seen the houses and know why she is using two colors. If not I will include a picture bellow. Now I don't have a pattern for the houses because my mother makes them.
I'm pulling yarn from my stash right now so I will be labeling the bears before so I don't have to have my knitting Buddy up the whole time. They will be in order from oldest to youngest. I love the fact that the middle one has both colors from the first and the last one. So yes I plan on using the same pink and purple for the bears.
Pink & White:
Already have the pink chosen for this one and the white I have plenty of it.
Have the body almost done and am getting annoyed with the hook I'm using on this project. I'm using one of my lighted hooks because I want to do it in the dark. Well the yarn is making that awful sound like when you pull the straw in and out of a cup lid quickly. It's driving me nuts!
Body is done! So I'm looking at the pictures because the head on mine looks huge and it looks to be normal and will look better after I get the arms and legs with the muzzle on. Now I did skip down to do the eye patches first and will probably re-edit the project again for those adjustments seeing as I have another family gathering I will be attending later today(as of this update). This will make the row count more accurate because as of now I'm waiting until I get to the eye patches for the correct amount done.
This one has been finished! Now on to the next one.
Purple & Pink:
Again same pink so that part is taken care of and I think I know what shade of purple I want I just have to make sure it goes with the grey I have already. Although I am going to be running to Michales tomorrow, as of this update, and might find a grey I like better while there.
So I had this one labeled as Pink/Purple on my Knitting Buddy so I changed it as the first one is Pink as the main color according to the pattern. I really like the fact that the bears all have one color from the other that is the same.
Grey & Purple:
Okay I like the grey so far but like I said I'm going to the store and might buy some new yarn. I have to say I have been good and haven't bought yarn this year.

Winter Blossom Earwarmer
Yep this is to go with the hat for my oldest niece. This is her second gift for Christmas.
Sock and Underwear Bag
Okay so this one is going to be a bit strange but my Bunnie has tasked me with making him a bag for his dedicates. I thought it was supposed to be a smaller bag but it's not and this is the problem I have only 4 skiens of yarn in two colors and might have to get more. So I am looking for pillow cases and seeing what I can find to see if I can maybe I can make it how I need it to work for him.
So my search just turned up pillows. So welcome to my pattern for this bag.

Elephant for a Peanut
So as everyone already knows I have already picked this for my nephew and well I had already picked out the pattern long ago because I knew what I wanted to use. Super cute and I will be using this for progress.
Whelp I'm on row 12 and I have stitch markers in place of my eyes ears and here in a moment trunk. This is going to make my progress photo's look weird. Oh well. So I have added the video as well now so that way if you want to watch/crochet with someone you can watch.
I use an app called Knitting Buddy so I have gone and edited the pattern so I can read it just fine with out all of my little scribbles and I have another pattern the one of the Panda's is also been edited and I will print them later. Now the reason I have edited them is because I can't use multiple counters to keep my project's progress correct on the counter. I have paid the like $3 for the add free version with more features and it will allow me to save my projects and reload them onto another device. I love but hate it all at once.
The ears, body/head, trunk, and mouth are done as of this update.

Because I want to keep track of the dates seeing as they aren't on the above picture.
