~{The answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything...is...}~Here's some things I've made:
^The top afghan (the blue and cream striped) I made off a free pattern on the yarn's label. Unfortunately, that yarn must not have sold well, you can't get it anymore
crying . It was called Cloud-spun, I think it was by the Bernat company. Shortly after I crocheted it, I couldn't find it anymore
gonk . I loved that yarn...it was so soft
emo The other afghan is called Granny's Hexagons...a variation of the traditional granny squares. I got the pattern free off a label of Lion Brand Homespun yarn.
The lamb I made with Bernat Boucle yarn in black and cream. The black face, ears, and feet is a color variation I attempted off the original pattern, which was all cream. I got the pattern from the 2004 issue of Better Homes and Gardens's Simply Creative Crochet magazine. This particular lamb is a present for a baby shower I'm going to next week. When I stuffed the lamb, I added a kitty wiffle ball with a bell inside, so it rattles when you shake it.
^ This is me attempting to take a picture of myself.
I am wearing a Kitty Hat I knitted from the Stitch'n b***h: A Knitter's Handbook. I did a color variation in blue because all my female friends were making their own. One friend had one knitted for her in black (original pattern color), the knitter of the black knitted herself one in camoflauge green, I knitted mine in blue and a friend's in ruby red, and another friend finger crocheted herself one in light lavender. The yarn I used for mine is a stretchy, silky Peruvian wool
whee .
I am also wearing a poncho I made from a free pattern off the Lion Brand Yarn website called Coming Home. It is the same pattern poncho that Martha Stewart wore on the day she was released from prison
sweatdrop rolleyes , a going-away present from one of the prisoners. Hey, it's a simply gorgeous pattern! This pic doesn't do the pattern justice. This is a yarn variation as the pattern called for LB Homespun, which I find sheds something awful
xp . So I used Lion Brand Color Waves yarn in the color Night Sky.
I am currently crocheting a sweater pattern from the book, Stitch'n b***h Crochet: The Happy Hooker using Bernat Boucle yarn is a soft blue color.
