I really, really should post more often but I always seem to post my stuff on Craftster.org instead of posting it on here. Maybe I’ll just start posting it on here and then posting links on Craftster or something. Anyway, here we go.

Testing a bear pattern. Here’s the post about it.

Brittany’s finished baby blanket. She’s had her girl and she’s adorable!

September Square

The MC. It’s got a wonky seam (my fault). The pattern is from Get Your Crochet On!

Wonky seam! I don’t know how I did this but it didn’t happen with the second one I did. Who knows, I still love the hat, I wear it quite often.

Here’s a few more pictures of stuff I’ve done… The blanket is for Brittany, a coworker of mine. The hats are for friends for xmas or to sell, don’t know which yet. I made the grey and blue hat while I was in PA visiting my Dad, I also started the baby blanket but I haven’t finished it yet. The blanket pattern called for a size G hook which is what I started in but I moved to an I hook ’cause it was such a tight weave and it was curling pretty bad. It’s working up much faster now and much softer, lol.

Baby blanket - about half done

Year long blanket - lots more squares to do!

Grey hat - Made large enough for a mans head or a females with a rolled brim.

Blue hat - also made big for my model, but fits me well.

I’ve gotten a good bit done, including a few CAL squares. I’m going to try to post pictures of them all and then start posting everyday or every other day. No more months between post!

I’ve decided to make one blanket that’s green and purple, so I’m trying to use both colors in all my squares. A little white in there just to lighten things up.

May Square

June Square

July Square

August

Tomorrow I’ll do a catch  up post on the hats I’ve made. I made a couple in PA and I did some sewing. I want to post pictures of Brittany’s baby blanket I’m making too, but I want to get new pictures of that one. Lots to come!

I knit Bryce (I hope that’s how they spelled his name), Sly’s nephew, a hat. I used THIS pattern from Knitty and posted it HERE on Craftster.

I’m also participating in THIS crochet-along and here are the squares I’ve done so far.

The green was my first one, the varigated my second and the purple my third. I can tell the difference with practice, hehe. Anyway, I can’t WAIT until February, I hope she’s able to post the square tomorrow.
