What in the world is a Minion and you want me to make what?


 
 
My grandson wasn't real sure about this. I think it may have scared him at first.
 
I got a call from my Son wanting to know if I could make one of these for his grand~daughter, of coarse, anything for the grand~kids. As I posted a picture on my facebook a friend wanted a couple of them, now I'm working as fast as my hands will let me,(neck is aching a bit too). 

I used a pattern from Crochet Magazine, but got it from Ravelry.
Find it here> Neon Bright Sweater Set
I used the stitch, red heart bright yellow and blue. I decrease on the sleeves so they tapered.

The hat pattern, you can find here>The Eyes Have It Beanie

I used a G hook, and the kids love them.

Don't forget the Pannana's

God Bless

Windsor Blue Golf Cap

 
  
A couple weeks ago in the middle of making Minnion hats and sweaters, I came across this pattern and liked it. My Son liked it too, I told him Christmas.
 
I used a smaller hook (G), and the hat seemed to be a managable size. It came out great.
 
You can find the pattern here: Boys Cabled Golf Cap Pattern
 
Probably going to make a few more.
 
God Bless

Pineapple Square Throw


Throw for Bride and Groom
 
 
 
 
I liked the pattern and think it will make a nice throw for a couple I know getting married this summer.
 
There are a few corrections to this pattern even though, Red Heart hasn't updated it yet.
 
I and others found some errors with this pattern.
This is how I corrected mine.

ROUND 3: A “4-dc”, after the begining 4-dc, will have "5"  loops on the hook.
ROUND 8: There is no sc in the previous round, “ch 2, dc, in same st as ch 2”, continue as written.



Hope this helps.

til next time,

Gypsy Grand~daughters Barbie Bed

 
Desert Dreams Barbie Bed
 

The Gypsy Grand~daughters are getting older.
Barbie has been apart of the American lifestyle for over 50 years. It was time to dig in to scrap yarns and make something for the girls to play with.
The boys, toys are fine but girls need girl toys!

Looking for furniture patterns now, maybe a couch and chair, of coarse another bed, maybe a canopy bed.

Need to make some clothes, crochet of coarse.
It's much easier to set in the chair after work than to retreat to the sewing room.

Not much else

Eating lunch all by myself!



Thermos Cozy
 
 
Let's hope it keeps soup warmer.
 
When I take lunch at work, I like to sit in my vehicle and eat.
 
No droolers!
 
In the break room, people come and go, making sure they have an eye on you, besides you have to walk the stairs, (the ankles won't take all the up and down).
 
Left over cotton yarn, was just right for this project, even double layered the top.
 
Heat rises.

Yellow, is Peaches n' Cream, green is Lily cotton, Lava Lamp.

Good use for clearance yarns.
