I had decided that this Summer...I would get a few things done, before Christmas was nipping at my toes!!
I have completed 6 Cowls...I have already given one to Erika for her birthday...It was a different stitch that I tried...one stitch in front loop, then one stitch in back loop...I like the way it turned out...
{see pics below}
The small blue one is one row in the front loop, then the next row in the back loop...
Alternating rows...
Also an interesting look....
The other ones, are with all stitches in the back loop only...a nice technique that Linda at White Weathered Hutch {side bar} taught me...I like that it resembles a knitting stitch...
The cowl I made for Pam in the Maritimes was the same stitch...
The picture of the alternating stitch doesn't do it justice...but you can see in the photo below...where Erika is wearing the cowl...I find it looks kinda like a basket weave stitch...
This super soft white one is for Miss V...
She looks so cute in these cowls...♥️
This one, I just started last weekend at the cottage...
So nice and bright!!
Not sure who it is for...
Maybe Moi!!
For all you crocheters out there...
The yarn I used is...
For the grey ones...I used Bernat Premium Worsted 4ply...and I used nearly the whole ball...7oz...The one I gave Erika wraps around twice...the others are not as big..
The Blue and Beige are Red Heart Super Saver...Worsted 4 ply...5oz...
Bought these both at Walmart...
The new project is from the yarn I bought at Michaels...
Hope you are all having a great day...
Rainy and miserable and humid here...
BUT...
I was lucky enough to have lunch at a sweet friends house...
Lots of chitchat...good for the soul♥️
And a delicious offering too!
My son will be joining us for dinner tonight...
Spaghetti..crusty bread...ceasar salad...
Enjoy the rest of your day!!
Cheers! :o)

I have been working on a few crochet items for a while...
A few I have even completed!
A new cowl and headband for Miss V to match her new winter jacket...
It has purples in it, so thought this would be a good match...
The cream scarf to the right is for moi!
Just started it last night...
A very quick pattern...
Gonna make it nice and wide...and long enough to go around twice...
I guess a fringe when finished...
Will show you all then...
I like that the pattern kinda resembles knitting...
I learned how to knit years ago...but let it go...perhaps I should try again...so many nice patterns in knitting...
think it will be long enough?? hahaha!
Oh yes...
I also got a pedicure last week...
First one in ages...
Gotta keep those toes looking good!
Now...
This little basket I started way back in the summer...
It got shuffled away...
But now that she is out...
I will finish her up!
Got this scarf for my boyfriend done last week...
I even got him to model it for me!!! miracle!
It is the same pattern I am making mine from...
The thickness of wool really changes the way it looks...
His is really soft...
We will see if he actually wears it!
If and when...I will capture it!
This hat that I made for Miss V has been all over the internet...
I bought the pattern from ETSY...
We think she looks like an EWOK in this one!!
I will be making lots of these...pretty easy...
The ears were the hardest to position properly!
In the picture below...
There is a picture of her in her OWL hat in the background!
How cute is that?!
Hope you are all having a great day...
Finally did a wee bit of decorating for Thanksgiving..
And I got the dining room table set...
Just need some fresh flowers for the table...
****************
Tonight we are having Maple Syrup baked Salmon filets...
White rice and fresh yellow beans...
I am kinda hungry, so I think I will make a greek salad for starters...
Enjoy the rest of your day...
A mix of weather today...sunny...rainy...windy...now it is quite dark...only 4:45pm!!
YIKES!!!
Cheers! :o)
