Peppermint Pinwheels

For these I'm working on them I'm working on them in tandem.  Why?  Well the colors are close to being the same but they are for two different people.  One will be for my MIL and the other is for my grandparents.

MIL's Blanket: (Light Blue & Purple)
This one I have to work on in front of my grandparents well mostly my grandma.  She claims "I don't pay attention to what you are working on".  It isn't true though she had to keep asking me how I was doing on this one.

G&G W's Blanket: (Dark Blue & Purple)
This one I have to work on in my room or when I'm with my MIL.

Baker's Mixes

Pattern

Now this will be for two projects because I am using the same one for two of my gifts.  One will be for my Bunny the other will be for my father in law.  Seeing as there are two I will have them broken down between the two as I did last time.

Sabb Mix(Bunny)

I started this and will be using two of the Caron Cakes Red Velvet to match the car like I did with the last one I had for myself.  He claims my blanket is too girly for him.  IT'S MY BLANKET!  Sorry I made the first one for myself to use in his car.  So I did a "girly" stitch pattern.

GAHHHH!  The colors aren't lining up nicely!  I had to frog and it's sitting in timeout right now.

I think I have figured out how I can make this one line up all pretty.  So I'm going to have to chop out some of the yarn to be able to pull this off but that's okay I will bring it back in later.

Father In Law

This one I don't have to worry about the colors as I did on Bunny's.  I am using two different colored cakes.  It is so pretty though!

Okay so we are 3-4 color changes in and this is looking amazing.  So amazing I can't seem to type anymore.  I really love these colors together it makes me almost not want to give it up.  I will though I have some other cakes I like that I think I will use for my own if I make one for myself.

HHM August CAL

Pattern Found In - May 2016

The pattern was named early but I have this set to release early today.  If you check my Ravelry page I already created the project.  Now the reason I'm so excited to get this all started is because there is a yarn giveaway.  Really pretty yarn!  I hope I win.

So I'm working on the scarf and I plan on making it for my GmaW.  I am using one of the skiens of yarn I bought for her for a shawl a couple years ago that I never finished.  So this will work perfectly.

For some reason the scheduled time didn't work I had this going live early today like just after midnight.

I already finished this cal again.  This time I might make more and have started a second one already.

Chicken Sweaters

Pattern 1 Pattern 2(Paid)

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

Pattern

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.
