I know...boy has it been a while! I have been crocheting, but finding it difficult to post. Here is a quick to make baby shower gift. It is made with two strands of yarn. I used Lion Brand Pound of Love in Ivory and Blue. This works up in about 4 hours and the pattern is so simple!!

More to come this week!

Hexagon Jacket - Gotta Love It!

This is a variation of Bev's Hexagon Baby Jacket and was created by Elisa Purnell.

This is a free crochet pattern and you can find it on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hexagon-baby-jacket-with-ruffles

Bev's original jacket is also a free crochet pattern on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bevs-hexagon-baby-jacket

I crochet loosely so mine actually fits little Gracie who will be turning 3 soon. Although, I probably could have made the sleeves a little longer. If you crochet with normal tension the jacket should fit a 12 month old. This worked up in about 4 hours, however, I only worked on it a little at night so it took about a week for me to complete.
I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn and it only took one skein of each color. It was a great project and Gracie loves it! Now, we just need the weather to cool off a bit!

More Dishcloths!

I absolutely love this pattern - very easy - I am sure I posted pics before, but I found these new colors from Bernat and wanted to try them out.

I purchased the Bernat Country Colors Cotton yarn at AC Moore. It is about $7 for 14 oz, but I used a 50% off coupon so it was just $3.50!

You can find the pattern on Etsy or Ravelry.

This is the best pattern for beginners or experienced crocheters.

New Crocheted Scrubbies

These were really easy to make - probably about 30 minutes each, including the construction. This is a free pattern from Ravelry - created by Judith Prindle. There is even a YouTube video to show you how to construct it once you have crocheted it. Here is the link to the pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/spiral-scrubbie. These are great for washing off makeup and in the shower with shower gels. Since they are 100% cotton you can just throw them in the washer and dry on low. Pretty cool and provides a cost savings since you don't have to buy those disposable cotton pads.

Mile-a-Minute Scarf

This scarf worked up in a couple of hours. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Buff. I will make a hat to match and also experiment with other colors and hooks. Very easy - about 2 hours to make. I started this on the way to my niece's graduation. Visit my Ravelry page to get the free pattern.
