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.

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.

Winter Blossom Newsboy Hat

So I've been wondering what to make for the other kids for Christmas.  Well I have figured out what I'm giving my oldest niece.  With the oldest of my two are in their teens it's harder to make them crochet gifts.  This is because I don't want them to feel like I think they are still little kids.  It's that weird age where I make them something crochet they think I think they are kids or they just don't get why I made it for them.  When they get older they will understand but until then it's hard being the cool aunt who crochets.

Now I chose this because I'm going to Georgia today and well I need something to do on the plane.  I'm flying out there on my own today but will be returning with my grandpa on Sunday.  I'm nervous and well I know my crochet will relax and calm me down more.

HHM June CAL

Pattern Found In - October 2016 Issue

For this months CAL I'm going to use it kinda as a stash buster.  Guess what I want to use the buttons I wasn't sure what I was going to use them for.  I think Birthday and Christmas for my Mini.

So I'm just pulling out colors and if you are keeping up with it I have to say that the color changes are interesting to say the least.

Paid for Larger Size

Wish I had found this sooner but I sadly didn't.  I will be doing this in the biggest size I can so I can give it to my niece.  It's so cute!  Found some flower buttons that match it perfectly and some buttons that I will be using later for her because she is my Duckling.

So I'm putting this one aside for the time being because I'm working on the CAL for June.  I have a few rows to go though and it shouldn't take me long to finish and be happy with it.  Did do something new on this one with the whole foundation chain.  I've never done any kind of foundation chain other than what I normally do.  This was new.
