January 2024 Crafty Goodness

Welcome 2024!  Along with a new year comes new crafty goals.  Goals:  To make as many items as I can, using the stash I already have, and blessing as many people as I can!

The month started off well but I wasn't able to complete as many items as I wanted.  I will be thankful for the things I did accomplish. I used 26 skeins of yarn and  purchased 8 new skeins.  Let's see what February holds.

I do need to fix a few Christmas gifts that are either too long or too short in the sleeves.  Someday I'll get this right! 😄


Leah's b-day sweater using Hobiko Starfall yarn

Hat for A using leftover yarn from blanket

A's birthday blanket using Herrschner's Worsted 8

New Bible bag since the last one wasn't working well

N's hat remake.  He said he was getting smarter and 
his brain was growing so he needed a bigger hat.  I 
used leftovers from Red Heart Stripes, Primary

What a fun month of crafty goodness.   This first projects is a wrap/shawl made with yarn from the Hobby Lobby clearance event.  It is a very thin weight, a pain for old eyes to work with but a perfect weight for cool evenings or air conditioned rooms.  The pattern is by Devine Debris and is called the Louise Shawl. This next one I made for the Tanks and Tee's 2023 crochet along. I am so enjoying this Tee!  I think my hubby is getting tired of seeing me wear it.  I might just have to make another one!  I used a 100% cotton yarn so it is very comfortable even on hot, sticky days.  The pattern is by Cactus and Lace Designs and it is called the Wren Tee.  The yarn was part of a Lion Brand Mystery Box.   This hexagon cardigan is a Christmas gift for DGD#4.  I actually made another one just like it for DGD#5.  A fast, easy sweater using Caron Blossom Cakes, color way Blossom.  The pattern is a compilation from Craft and a Cuppa and Passioknit Kelsie. Time to start making winter hats!  T
