Crocheted Cocoon

Hello Friends,

I hope you had a relaxing weekend.  I am EXCITED because I will be getting a new niece today or tomorrow!! :D  My brother, the father to be, texted me pictures of crocheted baby items (i.e. cocoon, sandals) a while back and asked if I would make something for the baby shower.  Well, these projects were out of my "expertise," but I was willing to try one of them.  

So today I am sharing my first crocheted cocoon, a ladybug cocoon!  I used a pattern by Red Heart, however, I had to modify it several times because my cocoon turned out to be big enough for a DOLL.

I decided to make a beanie, also, to create a ladybug set.  :)  

(Supplies: Simply Soft Caron yarn in Harvest Red and Black, crochet hook size US H, beanie pattern by Paula Daniele)

I included the book, "Ten Little Ladybugs" as part of the gift set.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of all the items together.  

This is all for today, friends.  Take a moment to breathe deeply and have a wonderful day!

Health & Happy Crafting,

Angie

Crochet Projects

Hi Friends!

I'm on a roll with this blog at the moment, but it will be a short post.  I'm just stopping by to share more yarn projects as I try and keep my hands busy.  I'm grateful for this therapeutic outlet.

These caps were made with Caron Simply yarn and a G hook.  The pattern is from "Crochet Hooks You" youtube channel.

Thank you for stopping by!  

Peace & Health,
Angie

Chemo Caps

Hello Friends!

Yes, I'm still around.  Thank you, Lord!  I'm still battling for my health, so there are days when I'm drained and crafting takes too much effort & energy from me.  However, at times I need to keep my hands occupied.  Therefore, I've been doing some knitting and crocheting.  I'm definitely NOT an expert in this area, so I mainly repeat the same design. :)  And I can only knit using a loom. ;)

While I've been off of work and concentrating on my health, I decided to knit caps for children battling cancer.  This is a cause that's near and dear to me.  I knitted 30+ beanies in baby to teen sizes.  Some of the beanies were made using 2 different colors of yarn.  Here is a sample:

(I apologize for the wrinkled background and bad pictures.  Overcast today.)

(Materials: Simply Caron yarn in various colors; round knitting looms, loom hook)


The following chemo caps were crocheted using Simply Caron yarn, and a J hook.  These are adult sizes, and I used a pattern by Sandra Huffines.  I have a friend battling cancer, so I made her some caps, too.

Friends, this is all for today.  Wising you LOTS of health and peace.

Happy Crafting,
Angie

Winter Wear

Hello!!

Are you enjoying this Fall weather?  I am!  A couple of my sisters weren't ready to let go of summer, but I am thrilled to have cooler air...

Normally, I share my paper crafts, but today I have something different.  In honor of cooler weather, I am sharing a couple of winter necessities.  :)  Especially, if you live in snowy areas.

 These were all made with Caron Simply Soft yarn and a loom.  I used 2 different colors of yarn for the first cap.



This scarf was made with chunky wool yarn, and it's really thick.  Super warm.

It's a real short post this time.  But again and ALWAYS, thank you for stopping by.

Happy Crafting,
Angie
