Jerry and I don't have a wreath, and I was striking out on finding one that was affordable that we liked. Instead I bought an ornament set for $5 from Target, a plain wreath, and some battery operated lights and made this:<br />

If I had been thinking I would have bought an ugly wreath from ARC or Savers and remade it, but I didn't think about that until after this was finished. Next year it will need an upgrade. I used the ties that came with the ornaments and they don't hold very well. Shortly after it was hung, it was bumped off the door and is now missing a few balls.<br />

This month I also signed up for an ATC swap again. I made two cards - one a collage based on the Hunger Games district 7; the other done with water color pencil, is a Nativity scene. I'm probably not going to do ATCs this month because I'm actually attempting to craft some Christmas presents. Clara is crawling now, so I am finding I can only craft when she's sleeping. Hopefully I manage to get everything finished!<br />

In the last 8 months I've worked some on a couple of big projects, that will hopefully be finished before 2013, and the two projects in this blog.<br />
First up we have a very failed experiment. I finally signed up for Pinterest a few months ago. This led to my believing I could paint my nails fancy if I just followed the directions others had posted. Oh how wrong I was. I found this pin on <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=408020.msg4812641#msg4812641">plaid nails</a>. They look great. Then I tried it and got this<br />

I won't be trying this again.<br />
The good news is my second project came out great. I've been reading about people making their own vanilla extract so I decided to try it. This was facilitated by the fact that Jerry has been given about 4 bottles of vodka over the past year. Some of my loved ones may be getting vanilla extract for Christmas. If you want to make your own just do a Google search. It's super easy! The pic is just so you can see something that wasn't a complete flop :) After it sat for the required time it was much darker, and tastes great.<br />

I'm posting my February post early to show off these goodies because I'm really hoping the baby makes an appearance this week!<br />
Speaking of baby - my first finished project of the year is a baby blanket. It's the <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall08/PATTopart.html">OpArt</a> baby blanket from knitty.com. I used the recomended dk yarn from knitpicks and did the 4 skein version. It took me a while to finish, but came out great. Sometimes the easy patterns (this is all garter stitch with increases in the same place each round) take the longest because I get bored. I started out joining the yarn in different colors by just dropping and then attaching the new color. Since I hate weaving in ends I decided to Russian join about 1/2 way through. It turned out ok, but the ends really poke out on the Knit Picks Swish. If I use this yarn again I won't be doing a Russian join.<br />

My crochet project for the month was a Coming Home Poncho for myself. I finished it yesterday. This is a pretty popular pattern based on the poncho that Martha Stewart wore when she was released from prison. It's also a free pattern that can be found on the Lion Brand website. I also used the recommended yarn for this pattern, Lion Brand Homespun. Wow, two projects with recommended yarn - I've become a follower :o) I used 3.5 skeins for this, and didn't do all of the border rows. I was afraid I'd run out of yarn so stopped after the second row. I like how it turned out and it's pretty cozy. It's working great as a cover-up at work!<br />

Finally I decided to do one more round of the ongoing ATC swap on craftster.org while I still could. This round I only signed up for two people because I didn't want to risk not sending to someone on time. The two themes I picked were glitter and steampunk. I tried using acrylic paint on the steampunk card. I actually like how these turned out and my sign up for more ATC swapping after the baby and I have a routine that allows crafting. For the steamship it's not glittered, it's a sparkly paper that I thought would be fun.<br />

Some of them I made with my friend Renee, and some I just did at home by myself. The picture quality isn't the best, so sorry about that. My favorite cards where the set with the silver snowflakes and the red ornament.<br />

I also managed to get one more crochet project done before the end of 2011. This is a baby dress for our soon to be here little one. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It was supposed to be a newborn size, but it's closer to one year by the time I finished blocking. I used the Solomon's Knot Crochet Baby dress pattern which is free and can be found <a href="http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/2008/07/blog-post_22.html">here</a>. Last Christmas my MIL gave me some wonderful sock yarn (Dream in Color Everlasting Sock in passion) that I used for this dress. I've got about half a skein of it left and want to find something else lovely to make with it.<br />
<br />
Finally, I'm posting my to do list for crafts for this year. You may notice that it is pretty similar to the one from last year. That's because I didn't add anything new, just kept the uncompleted stuff from 2011. With the baby coming I'm not expecting to do 50 projects this year. Last year I only managed 46. I'm interested to see if I can stick with my list better in 2012, or if most of my projects will end up being from off list like they were in 2011.<br />

<br />
<br />
Last month I managed to get quite a few projects done. I did some
more ATCs for a swap, some knitting and crocheting, stamped some
Christmas cards, and even did an altered tin (my first!).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pq3Oxe8ER_c/TueaQvAWP3I/AAAAAAAAAE8/nq-anHxNoig/s1600/craft.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pq3Oxe8ER_c/TueaQvAWP3I/AAAAAAAAAE8/nq-anHxNoig/s200/craft.jpg" width="153" /></a>First up
are my ATCs from last month. I'm not really happy with how they have
been turning out, but I'm still trying. If they don't get better I may
drop this craft. The first one is craft themed and my favorite. I also
have a wine theme, Celtic cross, beards/mustaches, and cooking.<br />

My altered tin was also for a swap on craftster.org. I've been wanting to try to do an altered Altoid tin for awhile, so was excited for this one. I used Sculpy II polymer clay for the lid. The main color is actually a sparkly silver but it didn't show up too well in the pictures. The glitter from the silver ended up on the other colors too and created a pretty effect. I used Martha Steward Christmas paper on the bottom (from Micheal's), and stash fabric on the inside. The paper and fabric were stuck on with Modge Podge. Then I wrapped some cubes of styrofoam in different wrapping papers and glued them in with E6000 (the best glue ever).<br />

I did smaller things so got more done. First up my lovely crocheted goodies. I made a headband from the book Crochet That Fits and a pair of slippers from The Happy Hooker book. These are from the bunny slippers pattern that I have made multiple times, just never for myself. I used up the remaining Lambs Pride I had in pink and then did the edging in a grey stash yarn, no idea what kind. I didn't really want to make these into bunnies so they're just regular slippers. A little too big for me, but they keep my feet warm in the house.<br />

<br />
My knit projects for the month were a small scarf/cowl that I made as a feel better gift for a coworker. I used the pattern Altantic Scarf off of Ravelry and the yarn was Crucci Clan Stewart Perendale that Karen brought me back from New Zealand. The second knit project I actually made three of using scrap acrylic yarn. They are coffee cuffs, from the pattern Coffee Cuff Six Ways, also on Rav. The cuff was really easy to make and I might whip up a few to go with Christmas presents in the next week. Maybe.<br />

The Christmas cards and holiday cards I made I'll post after they've actually been mailed out to everybody. I hope you all enjoy whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year. I'm looking forward to having my family around for Christmas :o)<br />

This past month I did a few little projects, and one big one. The big project I did was a crochet pattern - the froufrou sweater from the Happy Hooker book. It's a pretty easy cardigan pattern, and I used some yummy yarn I bought at the Lamb Shoppe. I used Aslan Trends Invernal which is a angora, merino and nylon blend. It's so soft and warm, and super easy to work with. A bit pricey, but I had extra play money last month. I used just over 5 skeins. I'd guess I used right around a yard from the 6th skein. The body was done in granite stitch and the boarder was done by pulling up loops and joining them together, with a chain 3 joining the groups.<br />

They were done using a DROPS design I found on ravelry - 108-25 crocheted shell wrist warmers. It was a free pattern :o) <br />
<br />
<br />
Finally I joined some ATC swaps on craftster.org and finally made some new Artist Trading Cards. The themes I had were my hometown, handdrawn map, gingerbread, and ladies of the seasons. I have some more cards to do this weekend, so my next post will have more ATC fun. If you like papercrafts at all these are a lot of fun to make, and are the size of a baseball card.<br />

Woo! I'd been in kind of a craft rut recently so this month was a comeback. First up I made a shawl that I had planned to use as a cover up for breast feeding. It came out a little small, but it will make a good scarf/work warmer this winter. I used the pattern Nancy & Judy by Heather Zoppetti, which is a free Ravelry download. It was a fun pattern and pretty easy to do. If you're looking for just a little bit of lace to get into knitted lace this is a good one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/76725300/DSCN0999_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/76725300/DSCN0999_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I finally used the yarn I dyed in the crock-pot awhile ago to make a Nook cover. I went through my stitch dictionary and found a pattern that I liked (diagonal trip stitch) and modified it to be in the round. I used a G hook and did a repeat of 38 stitches. The yarn was Full o Sheep. As I worked I just kept putting the Nook in the cover until it was the right size. The only issue with this project is that I didn't rinse the yarn enough when I finished dyeing it, so the back of my Nook is now a little pink. Oops!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/76725162/DSCN1001_medium2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/76725162/DSCN1001_medium2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Finally, I did another stash buster project. My craft room is going to be the baby's room, so I'm trying to get rid of stash instead of buying new. We want her to have all the room she needs when she gets here. So I used some of my dk weight baby yarn and made the super cute One Day Baby Hat by Susan Rainy. This is also a free Ravelry download. It only used half a skein of the Sidar Snuggly yarn, so I may make a second one for a friend who is expecting soon. I may add some flowers to the lacey parts on the bottom of mine. What do you think?<br />

If I remember correctly they all blend into grey until the eyes have developed a bit. Bold primary colors are visible to the wee little ones though. So I decided to make my baby to be a very bright green blanket. Some people think it's obnoxious, but I love it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/73624047/DSCN0981_medium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/73624047/DSCN0981_medium.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>It's crocheted using Caron Simply Soft yarn in the limelight colorway. I used the Russian join to put together the skeins. The pattern is <a href="http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/BabyChild/CTAUG06+Heirloom+Baby+Blanket.htm">Heirloom Baby Blanket</a>, a free pattern I found on Ravelry. It's part of the exploded doilie type of patterns. As much as I love how this blanket came out, I wouldn't recommend this pattern to anybody who isn't very familiar with crochet and can figure out how things are supposed to go loosely based on the instructions. The pattern is just badly and inconsistently written. I worked on this sucker for almost two months. Hopefully I use it more than once after the munchin is here!<br />
Here's a shot of the pretty edging, just to share :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/73624009/DSCN0982_medium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/73624009/DSCN0982_medium.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-74495016736840677402011-08-01T12:32:00.000-07:002011-08-01T12:32:18.620-07:00More projects, including Dr Who stuff!I haven't managed to get as much done as I'd have liked since my last post. I've been more into reading in my down time lately than crafting. That plus a few big projects I'm still working on have meant not as much to share. I do have some things finally though! First up is another pair of knitted socks. I did these out of the "I Can't Believe I'm Knitting Socks" booklet. The book taught me how to knit socks, and this is the second pair I've done from there. The pattern is Little Arrowhead Lace socks. they came out ok, but I really don't like how this book decreases to the toe in all of the patterns, so the book has gone to ARC. The socks came out nice though.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/67406786/socks_medium2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/67406786/socks_medium2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> My favorite project from this post is a dalek amigurumi. I signed up to be an angel for a swapper on craftster who didn't ever receive a package from her partner. It was a Dr. Who swap so I got to make a Dalek! You can't see his death ray shooter in the picture, but I promise it's there. This was my first time doing popcorn stitch, and it was much more simple than I expected. I recommend finding a video online or a step by step photo tutorial to learn this stitch. I tried doing it from written instructions and just confused myself. The YouTube videos made it simple.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/66796649/Dalek_medium2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/66796649/Dalek_medium2.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IRtgksYXEA8/Tjb8-CZe_OI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/F_W5-8iLHMQ/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</a></div> I also made a card set, and did an iron transfer onto a t-shirt for the swap. The transfer is a quote from the most recent Dr, and the card set is supposed to be left-over thank you cards from the wedding of Rose and the fake Dr regenerated from Dr Who's arm and Donna Noble. Getting to be all geeky when making this stuff was actually quite fun :o)<br />

Last week I made Jerry a birthday card. I also stamped on the envelope so that's here too.<br />

I'll hopefully be able to start posting some of the baby projects I've been working on in the next post. I plan to have them finished before the baby is due in February!<br />

There are many projects I have finished, and none that were posted. I've mainly been yarning lately, but I did embroider a hoop for a craftster swap. It had to monocromatic, and my partner likes peacocks so I did this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GMALODi58Xo/TfZh-mG0a0I/AAAAAAAAAEE/_Ut816t-2ZU/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GMALODi58Xo/TfZh-mG0a0I/AAAAAAAAAEE/_Ut816t-2ZU/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I finished my first knitted sweater. The shoulders didn't come out quite right so I need to steek them to lay correctly. Steeking is sewing the fabric where you want it and cutting off the extra. I hear it's pretty easy to do with knitting, and I'm too afraid to try it with crochet pieces. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/62326373/PART_1304801025227_medium2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/62326373/PART_1304801025227_medium2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In order to use up some of my cotton stash I made myself a Rust Goes Green market bag (free pattern on Ravelry) that I didn't take a picture of. Sasha at work liked it and bought her own cotton so I crocheted her this one:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/65030825/PART_1307385932971_medium2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/65030825/PART_1307385932971_medium2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>Finally I knit the <a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall08/PATTversatility.html">Vesitality </a>pattern from Knitty. I don't have the buttons on yet, and I haven't blocked it. Once those are done I'll share pictures.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is enjoying there summer so far, and I hope to have some bigger projects done to share soon.Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-71803901116988495622011-03-31T18:56:00.000-07:002011-03-31T18:56:30.257-07:00Fun with yarn in MarchFirst off I have finished my scrappy afghan. The ripple pattern is pretty common amount crocheter's but I had never done one. So I decided, way back last August, to make a ripple out of my scrap acrylics. Well at least the one's that I thought color coordinated. I ran out of yarn in colors I wanted to use, so the blanket is done for now. It's going to be my car blanket.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rfev9dBG1CY/TZUuYQepHDI/AAAAAAAAAD0/CohxIKTg6DE/s1600/DSCN0844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rfev9dBG1CY/TZUuYQepHDI/AAAAAAAAAD0/CohxIKTg6DE/s200/DSCN0844.JPG" width="200" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also tried something new this month. I was supposed to go to a crafternoon and dye yarn at my friend Rachel's house, but her little ones got sick so I did it myself at home. I got the instructions for how to dye yarn in a crockpot using food dye from the knitty website. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First I had to skein the ball of yarn and tie it so it didn't come undone.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rUnOebEO-o4/TZUvRIeY-MI/AAAAAAAAAD4/D15JhXd81WM/s1600/DSCN0841.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rUnOebEO-o4/TZUvRIeY-MI/AAAAAAAAAD4/D15JhXd81WM/s200/DSCN0841.JPG" width="200" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uKRPHhKUzqE/TZUvddvmZDI/AAAAAAAAAD8/qNoRZ406EO8/s1600/DSCN0842.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uKRPHhKUzqE/TZUvddvmZDI/AAAAAAAAAD8/qNoRZ406EO8/s200/DSCN0842.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div> Then I dyed it following the instructions with bright pink and green (the colors are little washed out in the picture). I love how it turned out and I think I'm going to use it to crochet up some fingerless gloves. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tPiPFcTPcYE/TZUwXaQrO9I/AAAAAAAAAEA/ZfJuuX6yec0/s1600/DSCN0843.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tPiPFcTPcYE/TZUwXaQrO9I/AAAAAAAAAEA/ZfJuuX6yec0/s320/DSCN0843.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I used Stitch Nation Full o Sheep yarn (arian weight) for my dying. I have a second ball of it and may try to dye it to match, or I may try something completely different. Any ideas?Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-2311242994986121342011-02-27T17:38:00.000-08:002011-02-27T17:38:17.882-08:00Finally done! Well kind of.I finally finished my embroidered quilt top. I've been working on this for at least four years. My Grandma Clara used to make these quilt tops using variegated thread. When she passed on she had made a quilt for each of her daughters-in-law and enough that all of the grand kids got one, except for me. I love how they look when they are done so I decided to make my own. <br />
When I first considered it I thought of doing it in purple, but then I decided that blue would be better. Good thing I switched - Jerry's favorite color is blue and a purple quilt wouldn't look very good in our bedroom :o) The thread I used is pearl cotton 8 from DMC.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_rO0Zoa0hEA/TWr7iQOenMI/AAAAAAAAADs/_Dmckogm2J4/s1600/DSCN0839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_rO0Zoa0hEA/TWr7iQOenMI/AAAAAAAAADs/_Dmckogm2J4/s320/DSCN0839.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>The first picture is of the three panels laid out; I still need to sew them together, pick a backing, sandwich it all, and quilt it. The middle panel also has the small border with butterflies at the bottom. However, I'm very happy that I have the embroidery done, so had to share with everyone! The second is a close up of the tulips in the middle panel.<br />

So I took a break from the big project and did a bookmark swap and made a scarf. <br />
The scarf is for Jerry. A couple of weeks ago we had pretty cold weather and he had to work outside for most of the day. Well, that resulted in Mr. I-don't-wear-scarves requesting one. I've been wanting to make the Antlers scarf from the book Son of a Stitch n Bitch since I got the book, so away I went. I chose Dove by Taki Yarns, an alpaca yarn blend, because I wanted it to be really warm. It didn't cable as well as I wanted, which I expected because the yarn is a loose plied single (I think), but I do like how it turned out.<br />

From left to right they are: a knotted purple and green book thong made from embroidry floss, a paper collage inspired by the Outlander series and the main characters time in France, a stamped cake decorator bookmark, and a crocheted fan bookmark made with Heart & Sole sock yarn. Now I'm hoping to finish some more projects in March! <br />

We spent Christmas with Jerry's family at his parents house. It was a lot of fun and I think everyone liked their presents :o) We spent New Year's Eve with some of my family and Shawn and Jess at our house playing games and visiting.<br />
For Christmas I had planned to make Fran a holiday table runner. That plan fell through when both of my sewing machines crapped out. I have a newer Singer that is kind of a POS, but it worked to piece the runner together until I got to the final border piece. Then I switched to the old Singer that used to be my Grandma Clara's. I got the final border on, sandwiched the thing and began quilting. Then Grandma's machine went out on me too. It is currently in for servicing because apparently being at the cabin through a couple of winters without servicing was bad for it's guts. Luckily mom brought her Bernina with her so she could have it serviced while they were in town. So with mom's help the table runner got quilted and is now finished. I just have to get it to Fran now. I included a close up picture so you can see the quilting.<br />

So here it is, my 2010 craft year in review:<br />

I've also been out of town for work for two weeks, so that's my excuse for a late update :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/44440104/PART_1289077982378_medium2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/44440104/PART_1289077982378_medium2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><a href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/44439895/PART_1289078073404_medium2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/coryjo/44439895/PART_1289078073404_medium2.jpg" width="200" /></a>I've made a couple of scarves - the first is made from wool that was hand painted for me by a friend almost 2 years ago. I used the One Skein Scarf pattern from the Happy Hooker book. The second scarf was made using left over Caron Simply Soft from the Silky Soft Scarf free pattern on Ravelry. I think I'm going to give both away as Christmas Gifts.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I also crocheted some fingerless mitts from the same leftover Caron. These already went to Ruth at work :o) </td></tr>

I used Lambs Pride worsted weight in black and white, instead of the suggested Plymouth yarn. I've felted Plymouth before (on accident) so should have used that brand. The Lambs Pride felts, but not as small as I wanted. Especially the white bit. I've heard from others that lighter colors, especially white, don't felt as well in general though. Even though it's a little big for me I still really like it. As long as I fold up the brim it looks pretty cute. This was made using another free pattern on Ravelry, the Beacon Street Cloche.<br />
<br />
Finally I did another swap on Craftster. It was the Once You Pop Winter Edition swap. In the Once You Pop swap, you clean out a Pringles can, decorate it, and fill it with crafty goodies. They're a lot of fun and you don't have to craft a ton to fill the can. In the picture you can see my can at the back. I knit my partner a lacy scarflette (short scarf) using a feather pattern from a stitch dictionary and the remains of a pound of love Lion brand yarn. The hook case and stitch marker holder I used left over acrylic in pink & cream using the Wave-Stitch Coin Purse pattern from Crochet That Fits. I also made her ornaments, two from shrinky dink that I stamped on and then colored in, and two from polymer clay. I really like the little snowman, and may make myself one. He doesn't have any arms, cause I liked him better without them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TQjyMVRVC1I/AAAAAAAAADQ/scmORw0G0v8/s1600/all.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TQjyMVRVC1I/AAAAAAAAADQ/scmORw0G0v8/s320/all.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Now I'm looking forward to having almost two weeks off over Christmas to get more crafting done. I'm hoping to get the center panel of an embroidered quilt top finished, finish the Christmas table runner for my MIL, finish the sweater I'm knitting, and make significant progress on hand quilting my pretty quilt top I posted awhile ago. Of course I'll also be spending time with friends, Jerry's family, and my family so probably won't get all of that done!<br />

We needed to send out 13 packages for the 13 days of Halloween. Here's what I made:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TL8WP__NkjI/AAAAAAAAACw/cmqB74muA5Y/s1600/Bag+unfolded.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TL8WP__NkjI/AAAAAAAAACw/cmqB74muA5Y/s200/Bag+unfolded.jpg" width="200" /></a>First up is a bag that folds into it's own pocket. I got the pattern from my mom. Funny thing is - she had the bag cut out already, I just had to assemble it - with only half of the instructions. I didn't put it together correctly but it came out nice anyway.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TL8ax-ovA3I/AAAAAAAAAC0/YUtgnsn1wBM/s1600/wreath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TL8ax-ovA3I/AAAAAAAAAC0/YUtgnsn1wBM/s200/wreath.jpg" width="200" /></a> My favorite project was the wreath I made. I bought a cardboard floral wreath at Micheal's and wrapped it in black felt that was glittery. Then I added skulls and bats. The bats came sparkly, and I added the glitter to the skulls. My original idea was to wrap the wreath with a black feather boa instead of the felt, but those suckers are expensive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I did two thread crochet projects; a spider and web bookmark, and a bat filet. The bookmark pattern I found on ravelry and can be found here: <a href="http://sandyfroglegs.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-spider-to-web-bookmark-pattern.html">http://sandyfroglegs.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-spider-to-web-bookmark-pattern.html</a>. The filet is from the Happy Hooker book. This was my first filet project and I may make a version with multiple bats to hang up for next Halloween. I didn't realize how easy filet crochet was until I tried it. It's all double crochet and makes pretty pictures :)<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
I've had the Big Ass Book of Crafts forever, and now I've finally done a project out of it. I made a leaf garland instead of a curtain. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, I was a little afraid it would look like a kindergarten art project. When it's all spread out it looks really nice though. I picked colors that would go with my my swap partners decor. I may make this project for myself in browns and greens for our mantle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TL8cL8hg1QI/AAAAAAAAADA/mnzBnhGb5Vc/s1600/leaf+garland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TL8cL8hg1QI/AAAAAAAAADA/mnzBnhGb5Vc/s200/leaf+garland.jpg" width="200" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is an easy project. I took two pieces of the fabric, sewed them wrong side together, turned them right side out, sewed shut the small turning hole, and pressed the fabric. Then I folded it into the wallet shape and pressed again. Finally sew up the sides, leaving the flap free, and attach a fastener.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TL8dIxALmXI/AAAAAAAAADI/Z9rLiJtPibc/s1600/washcloth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TL8dIxALmXI/AAAAAAAAADI/Z9rLiJtPibc/s200/washcloth.jpg" width="200" /></a>The knit project I threw in was a skully washcloth.

I saw these on craftster a few months back and loved them. Washer necklaces. The tutorial is here : <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=329854.0">http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=329854.0</a>. I chose two paper patterns that I thought were Halloweeny and went for it. There was a third, but the washer was too small and it looked bad so I didn't send it. People may be getting a version of these with their Christmas presents.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">All of my other presents were either store bought or had been posted about before. Well except for the poly clay miniatures I made for her dollhouse. I forgot to take pictures of those so just imagine really small pumpkins, a cauldron, and a witches broom. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I've been wanting a new jewelry box or jewelry holder for awhile, so while looking for ideas I came across a fabric hanging holder. Jerry thought his mom would like it so we made her one for her birthday.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TH51HvWN7zI/AAAAAAAAACk/J7DqMGneYNM/s1600/DSCN0656.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TH51HvWN7zI/AAAAAAAAACk/J7DqMGneYNM/s320/DSCN0656.JPG" /></a></div>I got the idea from a seller on Etsy. I used a fat quarter to make the fabric part and Jerry cut and sanded the dowel. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is, but it is a hardwood dowel that we got at Home Depot. Jerry also put the hooks in. I really like how it turned out and may make some more around Christmas time.Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-68553681531417683692010-07-07T10:37:00.000-07:002010-07-07T13:09:00.867-07:00A quick updateHere are a few of my most recent projects, both crochet.<br />
<br />
<br />
First up we have my first (and possibly only) pair of crochet socks. I used left over sock yarn from my last pair of knit socks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelry.com/uploads/coryjo/30792927/DSCN0637_medium.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelry.com/uploads/coryjo/30792927/DSCN0637_medium.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

These had an after-thought heel and I didn't particularly enjoy making them. An afterthought heel is when you make the entire sock and then go back and pick up stitches in the heel hole, crochet in circles decreasing by two every round. I just don't like how they turned out. I usually like to crochet more than I like to knit, but socks are an exception.<br />
<br />
Next up is a mobius I made using Misti Alpaca Chunky Solids. I also bought a fancy wooden L hook to use. This was an expensive project, but I love how it turned out.<br />

I was inspired to make this by seeing <span class="small">Andee Graves's </span> published pattern in Crochet! The magazine messed up her mobius pattern but she explained to me how it actually worked in order to make it a true mobius instead of twisting after or working on both sides of the chain. I wanted something in a chunky yarn so didn't use her pattern. So I made up my own pattern after flipping through some pattern books for inspiration. This was a quick project and will be a really warm wrap. I'm a little afraid to block it because alpaca can grow or bloom (kind of fluffing out) when it gets wet and it's already almost too big for me.<br />
<br />
I've also dabbled again in card making. I made a card for Amy and Scott's wedding but I haven't pulled that picture off of my camera yet. It came out pretty cute though. Stamping tip of the month . . . When re-inking a stamp pad remember to put the ink dispenser on the pad. If you don't the ink doesn't come out, then when you touch the ink bottle the ink leaks out under your fingernails and you get to go to a wedding with purpley-black finger nails :)Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-79567687789628083262010-06-01T09:06:00.000-07:002010-06-01T09:06:51.470-07:00My first knitted sweater<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TAUs_5r2xYI/AAAAAAAAACU/mdaai-z5X60/s1600/0526001803.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/TAUs_5r2xYI/AAAAAAAAACU/mdaai-z5X60/s320/0526001803.jpg" /></a></div>This is my first knitted sweater. I chose to make a baby sweater because it would be quicker and not as involved if I screwed something up. I think it came out pretty cute. I had a little trouble attaching the sleeves eavenly but got them to at least look good and be wearable. I tried a new way (to me) of seaming the garment. I used a crochet hook and slip-stiched the pieces together. I love how it worked and will be using this in the future. I got the idea from a tutorial on how to reclaim the yarn from store bought sweaters.<br />
<br />
I've started the actual quilting on my quilt, am slowly working on crochet socks, and have started a Christmas latch-hook project. I'll post pics once I actually finish this stuff (which could be awhile.)<br />
<br />
I've been pretty busy for work lately. I took a trip to CA and one to OR last month. This month I'll be going back to OR, making a stop in the Boise area to see family for a weekend, and then going to the Head Start Research Conference in DC. If anybody is going the American Indian Alaska Native HSRC will be doing a poster presentation on Tuesday of the conf :o)<br />
<br />
I also squeezed in a trip last month to Kemmerer to see my brother. He is doing pretty well. I snapped a pic of him with his cast on his nose but haven't uploaded it yet. My vote is still that he doesn't get a new Harley but I don't think my vote counts.<br />
<br />
Hopefully everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. Ours was pretty busy. I had hoped to have a calm, do nothing weekend after all of the work travel but it didn't work out that way. Friday night I got to hang out with Linda. It was nice to sit and talk and just hang out. Saturday we ran errands and got new phones (Jerry & I both got the Motorola Droid). Then we went and played poker. I was the first person to go out (kinda) :-P. Others actually were out before me but they all bought back in. Jerry went out right before being in the money. Sunday we went up to Ft Collins and saw Maile baptized. It was great being with family for the morning. Then we came home cleaned and went out to dinner with Fran and Tim. It was a lot of fun but the restaurant was a first and last time choice. Finally yesterday we went to a bbq. Now I'm back at work and wondering what happened to my long weekend. :o)Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-90887191171837321992010-05-03T09:53:00.000-07:002010-05-03T09:53:10.750-07:00Two Months of Work<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelry.com/uploads/coryjo/27708337/DSCN0504_medium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelry.com/uploads/coryjo/27708337/DSCN0504_medium.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I finally finished my Pretty as a Peacock shawl! It took me 2 months and 2 days to finish. I used 9 skeins of Louet Gems fingering weight yarn. It is so pretty and I'm sooo very glad it's done. After I finished the last row with peacock feathers I was tempted to bind off and be done, but it was worth it to do the extra 100 or so rows :-P The second picture is a detail shot of the pattern.<br />

My second finished project from this weekend is a baby blanket. I actually got to go to Fiddlesticks Stitch n Bitch for the first time in awhile and finished it there. I crocheted this using a pattern out of the Happy Hooker book. It's just basic granny squares done in worsted weight yarn. It calls for a bigger hook than normal and I really liked how that affected the drape of the squares. With the stitches being so loose the fabric came out softer than usual. I made this blanket to use up some of my stash yarn and tried to make it ok for either a boy or a girl. Someone in my office is having a baby girl in the next few months, so it looks like they'll be getting a gift!<br />

Last weekend we got to go take a tour of the Denver Mint with Linda and Karen. I remember the tour being much more interesting when I was a kid. On Saturday I got to go to Elitch with Karen, Jason and Linda. I haven't been since Adele moved back to the UK so that was fun. I am not as tough as I used to be, some of those rides that used to be so great now make my stomach a little unhappy. The company made it all worth it though.

I finally finished the quilt top I've been working on! I started it a looong time ago (more than a year) and kept putting off working on it. It's a beautiful top, but I didn't do a very good job getting the rows lined up exactly so the bottom and top boarders had to be trimmed up a bit. Now I just need a backing and to quilt it. Mom gave me her quilting frame awhile back so I'm currently planning on hand quilting. It's a queen size, so I may decide to switch to machine quilting.<br />
<br />
The second pic is a picture of the border fabric close up. The weird parenthesis looking thing is a string I didn't notice till posting the picture. The border is actually a green fabric with the circles in a darker green. My camera didn't capture the colors very well. Now I just need to figure out if I want to keep, give away, give to charity, or sell it when finished.Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-9809187051370673382010-03-01T08:12:00.000-08:002010-03-01T08:12:39.782-08:00Ravelympics are Finished & Rocky HorrorI participated in the Ravelympics this year. It's an event on Ravelry.com that coincides with the Olympics (just in case the name didn't give it away). You get a digital badge for each event you compete in. Not much insintive but I did want to challenge myself to use up some of my stash, work on making my threadwork even, and finally make some Christmas ornaments. So I give you my Christmas stars (please excuse the over-glittering.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.ravelry.com/uploads/coryjo/23728709/DSCN0414_medium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://images4.ravelry.com/uploads/coryjo/23728709/DSCN0414_medium.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On the life front things are pretty much the same. I went to my first theater showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday night with Linda. I've wanted to do the audience participation showing of this since I was in Laramie and it was pretty fun. Sadly, I was very tired by the time it was over (2 a.m.) so I must be getting old. I did think it was fun, but I'm not sure if I'd do it again. Maybe if I took a nap first :o)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think I mentioned in a previous post that Jerry and I had repainted the kitchen. We were hoping to go on a group trip to Vegas with our tax return but since no one else can make it we are now trying to decide between new counter-tops or a new couch. Comfort or resale value, decisions, decisions.</div>Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-74197697009852311702010-02-20T15:08:00.000-08:002010-02-20T15:08:36.709-08:00Socks that fit!I finished my first pair of socks that fit me! Not only that but I modified my first knit pattern. I modify crochet patterns all the time because I just get how it works much more than I do with knitting. It was a pretty easy mod, I just made the lace pattern go down the top of the foot instead of ending at the ankle like the pattern called for. Here they are:<br />

I'm not sure where that motivation went but it's gone. I signed up for a swap on craftster for an art journal page. I haven't started my page yet but have some ideas. <br />
I'm also working on making a bunch of crocheted star ornaments for the Ravelympics. I meant to make them for Christmas and just ran out of time so I figured now was a good time. I've done about 7 and I'm remembering how much of a pain thread work can be. They look good though. Haven't decided if I'm going to glitter them.<br />
That's all for now. I'm going to pajama jam at the Lamb Shoppe tonight so should get ready for that. Hope everyone has a good weekend :)Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-42801487561128016672010-02-02T10:51:00.000-08:002010-02-02T10:51:06.668-08:00CLASSyThe last week in January was a busy one for me. I went to New Jersey to be trained in the Toddler CLASS. It's a measure that will be used in our AIAN Head Start Research Center data collection, and is currently being used in the Baby FACES program. Anyone who is involved in Head Start or Early Head Start has heard of FACES. The rest of you are probably already board :o) The training was in Plainsboro which is close to Princeton. I unfortunately didn't get to see much of Princeton. The night we went out for a group dinner I got a headache and had to go back to the hotel instead of exploring. The worst part of the trip - I didn't have anything crafty to do. I couldn't find my crochet hook before I left so just took books. Jerry found the hook after I left in a very obvious place. Seems normal for my life. :o)<br />
On Saturday we helped DJ move. It took awhile, but we got to eat at Roma's for a reward. I'm not sure that Jerry liked it as much as I do, but I was happy. Whoever came up with putting cream cheese in your carrolli/on your pizza was a genius. I was exhausted when we got home, but we did manage to get up enough energy to go to Trent & Theresa's to play poker. One round and I was done. Actually not even one round. I knew it was time for me to be done when I couldn't figure out how to break down my 500 chip to 100s after putting in my bet. Simple math isn't so simple when you're tired.<br />
On the crafty front I finished Kevin's hat before I left. I like how it turned out, and hope he did too. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/S2hzrF9L0VI/AAAAAAAAABA/DNlAMWRSkCI/s1600-h/DSCN0397_medium.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lAqCmshSJJM/S2hzrF9L0VI/AAAAAAAAABA/DNlAMWRSkCI/s200/DSCN0397_medium.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last night I finished Fran's gloves/mittens.

This week I'm hoping to work on the quilt some. I only have 5 rows left to sew on (and then the boarder, and then quilting, and then binding) but only 5 rows left on the main part. Friday we're having poker at our house. I'm hoping for a good turnout, already looks promising.Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070234337150454347.post-72668268424437612772010-01-23T10:09:00.000-08:002010-01-23T10:09:05.872-08:00A lesson in crafty termsThis week I got to use some terms that you may not all be familiar with.<br />
<br />
First up we have frogging. This is when you realize that the project you are working on has something wrong with it and you have to rip it out. Rip-it sounding like ribbit, leads to frogging. Like when you realize that you've put to many rows on a cuff for a crocheted pair of mittens. No big deal you just frog back to where you need to be. Crochet is worked one loop on a hook at a time so much easier to frog back to certain point sense you don't need to worry about dropping stitches. Or you can frog when you realize that the hat you are knitting is way too big and you have to frog the whole thing when you are 3/4 of the way done. This sucks. A lot. Knitting takes me longer than crochet so there were hours of work that I just had to rip out. Which leads to swearing, lots and lots of swearing.<br />
<br />
The second word we are learning this week is tinking. To tink is to knit backwards. This happens when your brain freezes and you realize that you have worked row 10 of a chart on the restarted hat twice instead of continuing to row 11. If mistakes are caught quickly tinking is not that bad. If mistakes are found when doing lacework tinking is an evil spawn of the devil.<br />
<br />
The final word for this week is gauge. This is where you make a test swatch of fabric using your hook or needles and selected yarn for a project. I did not bother to gauge the hat I am making because it is the third time I have made this hat. It worked fine with size 8 needles in the past so I thought it'd be fine. I had forgotten that until very recently I was always knitting through the back of every stitch causing my stitches to be twisted. That meant that all my projects where much tighter than they would be done the correct way for the pattern (through the front of the stitch.) I had to go down two needle sizes. My friend Shelia is the tightest knitter in the world and usually has to go up needle sizes. Now it appears that I am the loosest knitter I know. Maybe we could figure out how to combine and be on gauge with the pattern requirements?Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06995297637696636554noreply@blogger.com2
