Turtle Power

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have returned.  My son LOVES them!  I was trying to figure out some things that I could make him for Christmas.  For some reason, I have a harder time coming up with things for him, than I do for my daughter.  Let's face it, little girls are easier.  Anything pink, purple, flower, or frilly will do.  My son is harder to impress.  I am thinking that something TMNT will be a hit.  I decided to make him a set of 4 (there are 4 tmnt's after all) coffee Kozies.  Obviously, he doesn't drink coffee, but he brings a water bottle to school every day.  Why not make it a little fun by sliding a Kozie on there?!

I sat down with my hook case and yarn and this is what I came up with:

TMNT Cup Kozie

Tis the Season!

Finally, the rest of the world has caught up with my Holiday spirit.  I have been listening to Christmas music for months!  I think we should celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season with a fun Christmas hat pattern.  How about a SANTA HAT?! 

My little Sprinkle wearing her sparkly Santa hat.  :)

My daughter LOVES her new Santa hat.  I have been making them for a few years and this is the first year that I made one with SPARKLE yarn.  Made. her. day. 
Who says you have to us "Christmas colors"?  I love this blue and white hat.

White and blue Santa hat

The blue and white was not made with MY pattern, but it's still a Santa hat.  ;) 

The hat works up quickly and fits a wide range.  I refer to it as a child hat, for children 3-10, but the hat has enough stretch that I wear them too.  The size is easily adjustable by switching hook sizes and adding/decreasing the increasing rows. 

I hope you get as much use and joy out of this pattern as I have!

Snowflake 2

I received a lot great feedback about my Quick and Easy Snowflake!  (Thank you!  It means a lot to me, to receive feedback!)  I didn't realize that there are so many more people, like me, who hate working with thread.  I was asked by a few people if I was going to write up any more patterns for snowflakes.  The answer, YES!
Again, this one is not blocked yet.  Have I mentioned that I hate blocking?  Perhaps I will get around to it, perhaps not.  One of the great things about using yarn instead of thread, is that it will hold its shape a lot better, without being blocked.  ;)
Here is my second snowflake pattern.  (hopefully a lot more to come!)  This one works up just as quickly as the first one.

Crochet Santa Suit Hat

Who doesn't need a little HO HO HO?  My son saw something similar to this and asked me if I could make him one.  I hope he likes it.  He still doesn't know that it is finished, or that I even started it.  I would give it to him for Christmas, but then he wouldn't be able to wear it until next year.  I hope you like the new hat as much as my son!

Free Snowman hat pattern

I absolutely LOVE snow.  Unfortunately, OK doesn't normally get nearly enough snow for my liking.  Last year was a huge disappointment.  I am hoping that we get enough snow to play in this Winter, but in case we don't, I made my very own snowman.  :)

I hope you enjoy the pattern!

Small Candy Cane Ornament

I. Love. Candy Canes.  I don't know what it is about candy canes, but I have always loved them.  My daughter loves candy canes as much if not more than I do.  Every year, I have to buy a couple extra boxes of candy canes to last the entire year.  Those little starlight candies or peppermint sticks just won't do.  It has to be candy canes.  :) 
Maybe that is why I was super excited to write up this pattern.  This is really quick and easy to work up and is very easy to assemble.  The finished candy cane measures approx. 4 inches long.  I think I will be attaching a candy cane ornament to the top of some of my Christmas gifts this year.  It is a really cute "little something extra".

Quick and Easy Snowflake

Looking for something quick and easy to make?  This snowflake makes and adorable ornament, would look great as a garland, and a gift tag. 
I have not blocked this one yet, but want to give you an idea of how yours will look.  I am working on getting a lot of them made and will block them all at the same time.  I wanted to get the pattern up so you can enjoy it too!  When I have mine blocked, I will add the new pictures.
