5-hour Baby Sweater

For the future baby brother of one of my former (and favorite) students!  This 5-hour baby sweater is going to be a repeat performer for sure!  I added the hat later and think it just makes the outfit!

Heather's Hat

I am so proud of my dear friend Heather for picking up needles with enthusiasm!  I love her turquoise hat.  I helped by adding the flower.  I am really liking crocheted flowers!

Mohawk Hat

Challenged by my son's friend, I used the pattern Christian's Hat and then pulled fringe through as I would at the end of a scarf to create the mohawk.  He loves it!

Grandkids' Hats

A good friend asked for hats for Christmas to give her grandchildren.  After a week on prednisone, with horrible insomnia, I finished one every night and even used YouTube to teach myself how to crochet flowers!

Max's Sweater

My first real knitted sweater.  It was definitely a labor of love! The pattern is from Appalachian Baby and came in a kit with this organic cotton.  Here is the link.

Close Knit Waffle

My son asked for a red and white hat.  I was trying to prevent the candy-cane effect or the Cat in the Hat.  Easy, quick pattern!

Inside Out Chemo Cap

A good friend of my mother's is struggling with cancer and I wanted to send her something special.  She is a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan so I created this.  The pattern is super-easy and I love the cozy scrunchy results!

Swirly Hat

I decided to try a new swirly hat pattern for a former student of mine who just delivered identical twin baby girls... so sweet!

My First Sweater!

A good friend is pregnant with a sweet baby girl.  I found this pattern online and decided to try!  Surprisingly, it only took me about 3 weeks to create.  Left with extra yarn, I could not resist adding a hat and socks to go with! :)

Sashay Ruffle Scarf

This is a very simple six-stitch knit that creates a fun, ruffled look.  Click here for color swatches and videos showing knitting and crocheting directions.  It's a nice, quick gift idea! :)
