A little green before spring!

I seen a pin last week that recycled tees into rugs by just carrying it along as you would a second yarn. Instantly made me think of an old sheet I was saving for rags or whatever and some peaches n cream yarn I have had forever!
So I frantically began cutting all around this sheet about an inch or so to make a long continuous strip, not much fun. Then I ran and found my yarn to begin this fun project!

It is almost Valentine's Day!

We have had the flu lately and it don't want to leave!!! I absolutely hate being sick!

I have managed to almost complete my Valentine project!!! It is a knit fedora with crochet trim hand felted to avoid over felting! I really like how it turned out so far.






I think maybe next time I'll remember to get dressed!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!!

It's been gloomy!

It's been unusually busy for me these past few weeks. I did manage to get a few things done I wanted to.
I wanted to share my first ever hairpin lace project, it's quite simple and Jessie likes it even though I made a few mistakes(it was my first)


 
 
I also finally finished a penguin hat for my son's friend (modeled by Jessie)


And a simple little beanie for my Great Niece! I got to keep Enly for a whole week, so much energy!!!

 

And this past weekend, SusieQ said "Mommy, I'm tired of being cold, make me something!" SusieQ got a new mobius cowl from hand spun wool!!!

 
Still need to finish a few more projects before I can begin my vintage hat patterns. I am also working on turning my basement into a craft room and that is not going very quick at all!!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful year!!! Feel free to leave any comments, suggestions, and such! I'd love to get some kind of feedback!
