Super Bowl, super crafts!

This month has flown by!  I can't believe it is almost over!  I made a hat for my teenager to take to school to sell to make some money back in January.  My hubby ended up showing a picture of it to a coworker and it kind of turned into a hat making business for a few days, 6 hats later and 100 bucks!

 
Seahawk colors!  Go Seattle!


 
I used this baby! Pretty simple.  There's lot's of video's online how to use this round loom.  Even my 6 year old can use it!  He's pretty crafty!
 
 
 
 
Also, I made one of these. This is the start of an infinity scarf.
 
 
 
 
Add in another color!
 
 
 
 
And another! Tada!
 
 

 
 
My baby calls this the loopy-doopy scarf.
 
I wish I took a picture of all the food we had for our Super Bowl party!  Oh and here's the chair my hubby broke when we stole the ball from the Bronco's and made a huge touchdown!
 
 
 
Hope you've been having a great month!

Blankets, A little bit of warmth!

It sure is cold here!  My cell phone says its a mix snow rain here where I live.  Not a drop of rain or flake of snow is falling from the sky currently as I write this post!! Its almost lunchtime.

Here's a few blankets going into my Etsy shop. Let me know if you would like to purchase them before the shop goes live!


Here's a quilt I made when I first got my new sewing machine last year.


A double sided crochet baby size afghan. Light blue and white for your newborn son.


Light pink and pink camo yarn crocheted into a beautiful afghan for your newborn daughter.


This is the same pink camo yarn with a raspberry pink color paired together to make a beautiful afghan blanket for your newest member of your family.

These will be available in my Etsy shop. Coming soon!

I think I will go finish another one I have started. It's kinda chilly here and working the crochet hook will warm up my fingers!

I am not a big fan of crocheting. I can do a straight line but not circles. I tried making a hat a few weeks ago.  I got the stitch down but....lets just say I think I will stick with straight lines!! Blankets, scarfs; things like that!

Can you crochet?  What do you like to make?

The Pink Scarf

This last summer I bought a bunch of yarn marked clearance, $1, $1.50 & $2. YES! This is what I turned the pink into. 

I am not big on crocheting. I wish I could be, but I can't do anything that is not a straight line.  A granny square, is unfortunately not a straight line!  I really wanted to make something useful out of it. I searched YouTube videos to find this simple pattern showing step by step how to make it.  It's easy and simple just like the video says! Just go to YouTube and type in easy or beginners crochet scarf and this should come up.  I made this in December and can't remember the name of the lady, might be Tracey.  I used the whole skein of yarn!  It's an extra long scarf for staying warm on those cold days!

The above picture is the scarf folded in half and the ends looped thru the bend part where it halfs.


Here's a close up of the crochet.  I hope you like it.

What do you like to crochet? Are you a crochet geek?
