Meet Stewie!!!

After making my oldest son's TMNT hats for Christmas he went to work the following week and a guy he works with just loved the one he had on.  So this guy says "where did you get that?" my son replies, "my mom made it along with others" so then the guy says "Dude, can she make Stewie?"

So my son asks if I can make a "Stewie" hat for this guy and I am like "WHAT is a Stewie?".  Well turns out he meat the little baby from "Family Guy".  I don't watch this show, but have seen some previews.

Anyway I said sure, it couldn't be that hard.  Well here is "Stewie"

Strange looking little thing, but the guy LOVED IT and now he is wanting me to make something for his Autistic brother.  He has to get back to me on the characters name.

Kitty's say Hello to Spiderman!

For all of my granddaughters and grandson this past Christmas I made them Hello Kitty and Spiderman crocheted hats and scarves to match.  They loved them!!!

Here are some pics of the hats and scarves.

Crocheted Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles Hat

Here are some hats I made for Christmas presents for my oldest son.  He LOVES TMNT so I made him a hat/beanie of each turtle.

For the Love of .... Crochet

I use to watch my grandmother crochet all the time, but never learned myself.  Now my grandmother is gone and I have longed to learn the art of crochet.  So 3 years ago I got myself a new Teach Yourself to Crochet book and DVD and some new hooks and I set out to teach myself.  The first thing I made was a wrap or something like a wrap anyway.

I couldn't even tell you what this stitch is. LOL  I got the idea pattern from here  http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/wrap.  I didn't do it exactly like the pattern, but its okay, I like it.

Now I have crocheted many items including a blanket for my youngest son.  See picture below.  I made this just last year and he swears you could cook a turkey in it. LOL
