A Little Bit of Everything Crafty

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 January's beginning of my yearly temperature blanket. What? 50* in January??? Notice no ends?  Already woven! A's birthday cardigan and matching hat using  Mandala Sparkle in the color Crux N's hat remake.  He said he was getting smarte...

It was a good month for crafty goodness.  Of course, it helped having the Christmas deadline! Lots of dish cloths for the Hairdo people! Cardigan or S Cardigan for Em Turtle for B Gift boxes for the hairdo people  Cardigan for me with yarn E bought in CO for me Poncho made for me for wearing in AZ

Wow, it looks like I didn't do much in November.  I really did keep quite busy with yarn on my hook.  I have lots of "almost" projects that will be finished shortly, I hope!  Christmas IS coming! Nursing Necklaces (wove in the ends after the plane landed) Donation blanket for Judi Christmas blanket for ME! Christmas blanket for L.  

 Dear me, I am so far behind posting these.  I probably won't add a lot of detail just because! Nursing Pads:  2 of each pattern. Cardigan for Morgan For the hat collection 3 baby blankets and 3 burp cloths Christmas cardigan for L. Christmas vest and hat for A. Halloween "costume" for JES. Christmas blanket for E.

 It seems like the month was way too short!  I had a few projects that didn't get finished before the month was over so you will have to wait until October's recap to see those.   A good friend of the family just moved into Assisted Living and wanted a lap blanket that was blue/purple/ and not all one color.  This Herrshnerr's yarn called Rainy Day seemed to fit the bill for the Bag-O-Day corner to corner blanket. We are headed to Red Rocks for a concert at the end of October.  It is supposed to be cold so the advice is to "layer up".  This cardigan is made using Hue and Me yarn.  The pattern is by twoofwands.com.  It is super warm and should keep me toasty while providing lots of room for multiple layers underneath. Let the Christmas prep begin!  This is a throw blanket for one of my daughters-in-law.  Her favorite color is teal so just about every shade of teal is to be found in this blanket using Bag-O-Day's C2C pattern.  Of cour...

We have to start the month with harvest from the garden!   These are cherries from the cherry tree, onions & garlic from the garden and beans & potatoes from the garden.  We also have tomatoes!  Thank you Lord for the produce! Next we will show the crochet projects!   With 2 new babies in the family, there were lots of baby blankets made! New Bible bag for DD!   She wanted a new bag for church!
