Going Green — Crochet Market Bag

These seem to be the crochet trend lately. With all of the “Green” talk around, it isn’t any wonder people are seeking alternatives to both the “Paper or Plastic” choices of recent years. There are many patterns for crochet market bags, and Crochet Diva whipped this one up in no time. There are so many ways to help save our planet, and every little bit helps. :)

The wee princess is so used to her momma crocheting hats that she had to try the market bag on her head… :)

She couldn’t do this if it were “Plastic”… :-P

Baby Crochet — Pink Lady Bug

Pink Lady Bug Crochet Baby Layette

For my neice-to-be… My sister likes non-traditional things, so Pink Lady Bug was born.

Booties are from Gourmet Crochet’s Elfin Baby Pattern, with my version of the cuff.

The shirt is a variation of Bev’s Baby Shirt.

Hat pattern is my own. All made using Simply Soft yarn.

Angel’s Birthday Hat

I crocheted my sweet niece a hat for her birthday back in March.

Here are shots from her hat photo session. :)

This hat was crocheted using the Divine Hat Pattern. I did make changes to make it fit a child’s head.

Orange Felted Hat

 I’ve been addicted to the felted wool thing here recently, and Rob loves the felted wool look, so I was experimenting on making him a felted wool hat. Being new to this and all, I’m very unsure of how much bigger than the finished item that a person needs to make things. Here is his hat before felting (He was busy working, so I stuck the hat on him and took a picture — He did at least give me a little smile):

Well, so like I said, this is the first hat that I’ve felted. I wasn’t sure how large I needed to make it. Needless to say, Rob didn’t get a new hat, but Zoe did!! It started out Rob size, and after felting, Zoe has a beautiful felted orange hat. :) She’s gotten to where lately she poses for the camea and says “CHEESE”.

This hat was crocheted with Lions Brand 100% wool yarn. For felting, I put the hat in a small HOT load in the washer with a couple pairs of jeans and washing powder (Tide with Bleach). I ran a normal cycle, then put everything in the dryer on high. I take my felted items out of the dryer as soon as it finishes so they won’t cool and wrinkle.

Fortune Cookie — Kitty Hat

I started crocheting a kitty hat last night, and brought it with me to crochet while we ran our errands today. We had Chinese Food for lunch, and I got this fortune:

In case you can’t read it (Sorry for the blurry cell pic), it says:

“Try a new hat for a change in looks. Be creative!”

(And it turned out big enough to fit over my puny dreads)

Bahaha… Meow =^.^=
