Amigurumi Apple

This was a bit bigger than I thought it would be, but it made up quickly (2 hours or so) and was really fun to make!

I found the pattern at the Lion Brand Yarn web site, although I very much doubt that I actually used Lion Brand Yarn for the pattern - it was probably the run-of-the-mill Red Heart that I had, just lying around the house. cool, huh?!

Pot Scrubbie

I crocheted a Pot Scrubbie! It's made out of a small amount of worsted weight yarn and one of those plastic net bags that produce or other random things come in:

I got the pattern from Digipicsphotography’s Weblog

It works awesome, and it is a great project to help recycle things that might otherwise go to waste; sitting in a landfill for an eternity or two. Cool project, huh? it took less than an hour to do, and if you are faster than I (It isn't hard to do, when I crochet, I tend to take my time about it), you might be able to get this done it 30 minutes or less.

Enjoy!

Santa Hat, and my new hat model...

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, Glad Yule, Bright Hanukkah, or Joyous Kwanzaa! Here is a holiday treat:

I've gotten tired of modeling my own hats, so I decided to have the dog model for this one. Of course, it is MUCH bigger than his head!
I got the original pattern from Danette's Angels, but since it was designed as a child's hat, I had to continue increasing until it fit my head.
Don't worry, I'll type it down and post it here soon, for everyone to enjoy!

The red part was done in rounds of single crochet. The white cuff is a strip that I carefully measured to have a few more stitches than the red hat part. I used white yarn to single crochet the two parts together on the rim of the hat. Then I made a pretty white pompom and attached it.

Happy Holidays, from Me, Terry, and Loki!

Daisy Hat

I adapted this pattern from the pattern for the ladybug hat:

The daisy and leaves were much easier to make. Using an F hook and some bright red bulky Jiffy yarn, this hat came out a little stiff, but it keeps my head REALLY warm!
I got the Hat pattern from CrochetSpot
I had to adapt the pattern to fit my head...if I do the pattern as-is, the hat comes out waaaaay too big. With this hat, I crocheted it just a little bigger than I needed it, so I did [sc2tog, then 1sc in next 3 sts] around, so it would leave a little room in the crown area, but tighten around my forehead like a band.

I got the daisy pattern from:
