Inca Alpaca Yarn

Bought some yarn for a scarf for my daughter when I dropped her off at work. Can't remember if I mentioned it before but she is working at French Creek Fiber Arts a couple days a week. So that gives me an excuse to go more often. :)

I decided that since she doesn't have any interest in crocheting like I do, and being around ALL THAT YARN that she should have something made from the yarn there. So this will be made into a scarf. She picked out the color.

This will be my first project using alpaca. It is very soft and I hope she likes it.

Enjoy!

Octopode by Pepperkitty

Even though it took me about a month to complete, it was really easy. I just had so much going on, I had to keep putting it down. I also had to find matching eyes!

More Yarn

Bought some more Knit One, Crochet Too cotton yarn from French Creek Fiber Arts. The colors are English Heather and Artichoke.Of course for two more dishtowels. Alternating the edge colors.

Dishcloth for August 2009 Exchange

Here is the dishcloth I made for my partner, Jeannie.
I also sent a few patterns, a note about myself and some candies.

Sunny Coasters

I forgot that I did take pictures of the coasters I sent to Delece with her dishcloth for July 2009.

Test of Sunny Coasters

I tried this pattern out before I made them for someone else. I like how easy the pattern was and how quick it worked up!

Quickie Summertime Headband

I got the idea for this style of headband from Crochet Monkey's Patterns.

I altered the pattern slightly, but since it wasn't my idea and looks exactly like hers, I cannot take credit for it. But here are my directions:




Ch 80.

Sc into first ch in row. Sc in next 9.

Ch 70. Sc into first ch in row. Sc in next 9.

Ch 70. Sc into first ch in row. Fasten off and weave in ends.




You can choose to add a row or two more if you want.
