Minion hat

I made this hat up as I went. I started out using Sarah’srepeatcrafterme.com Owl hat child size.. Like the hats in previous posts. (I love her patterns!)
When I got to round-9 I changed the yarn to black and followed the instructions for rounds 9-11 in black, then changed the color back to yellow and finished rounds 12-13. Then I did 1 round in blue of DC’s and followed the instructions to finish the hat. I made a single eye like the owl eyes only the final round of single stitches using gray, I worked in on the chain loop facing me only so that it made the gray/silver look more 3-D to look like goggles. 
I did use a G-hook because I wanted the hat smaller.

Happy Crocheting!

Crochet gifts are not cheap. They are made with love!

Something to think about!

This hat is being modeled by the one and only Hulk Hogan. :) Not bad on such a short notice!

This is not my pattern. I have to give all the credit to fellow crafter, Sarah @RepeatCrafterMe.com.
Her patterns are so well written, and she has graciously shared several of her patterns on her web site.


Happy Crocheting!

Dealing with life.

I am behind is sharing my latest crochet projects because life has tossed a monkey wrench so to speak in the works.
On July 29th I was diagnosed with Sarcoma Cancer.
Here is my personal blog with updates as I need to rant while waiting for tests, and surgery and lastly prognoses. http://her-royal-highness-blog.blogspot.com/
I have been crocheting a couple hats. It seems morbid, but I was planning ahead in case I need chemo. Wow that sounds depressing! Enough hats for now.



Happy Crocheting!

Sun hat for Red Hats Gal

My Mother-In-Law belongs to “Red Hat Society". I wanted to make her a Red Hat that no other hatter would wear. (Her in my creation at the bottom)
The inspiration for this hat came from Clare of “BobWilson123”. In her pattern and YouTube video she shows how to make a basic mesh hat and a brim that can be used on any hat pattern. So I took this pattern and ran with it.
See it here on Ravelry

I used a G-hook for hat and brim. She suggests a smaller hook for brim that resulted in a ruffly looking brim.
I used 2 colors of Carron worsted weight yarn. (acrylic yarn makes it stiffer I feel).
I mostly followed the pattern directions with some minor changes for the look I wanted.
With color “A” I worked rounds 1,2,3 & 4 skipped 5 My head measured approx 22 inches (the cap turned out too big with this round) I worked 6 rows with color “A” of round 6 and 3 rows with color “B”.
Brim: With color “A” worked round 1 skip to round 3 (rnd 2 made it too “ruffly”) Worked 10 rows, finish with a few slip stitches. The second hat, this white and black one only took 3 hours to hook!

I added some Roses
directions HERE and Wa La!

My Mother-In-Law. She's so "Sassy"!

Not just the wind whipping things up!

These last few days has been really windy here in Sacramento, CA. So I don't feel like working out in the yard much. SO I chose to crochet.
This is what I whipped up.
A shower slash kitchen scrubby by Andrea with the fiber forum. Pattern here.

I already tested it out in the shower this morning. (No pics of that) :)

I love a good mystery!
Hopefully the wind calms down. The weeds can't wait!

My big bag for chub dog food or french bread.

This was a bag I came up with out of need. I buy my dog fresh dog food in a chub like tube. It's 16 inches long and has metal clips closing the ends. SO these chubs wont fit in normal grocery bags or totes and the metal rips the plastic bag. It is also heavy. 6lbs.

So why not crochet a bag for this need?

This bag measures 22 inches long. Plenty big for the dog food chub and also a loaf of french bread!

I also found that yarn fits just fine. :) I made the bag as one panel starting at one side along the top edge using hdcr and finishing the other side top edge then scr the sides to complete. The strap is one big loop made with HDC and stitched on the bag. I finished it just in time. My dog is almost out of food. Time to head to the pet store!
Happy Crocheting!
