Scarf in Moss

Surprise! It's another scarf. This one done in a solid moss green color. I used a worsted weight yarn and a size J hook. The pattern is rows of V stiches, DC, SC, DC, then V repeated. It was very quick to stitch up.






For sale in my Etsy store!

Tomorrow, I think I might post another scarf lol.

Boo!

Here's the halloween scarf.



I really like how this one came out. It's a very simple single crochet that's done in the back loop only which makes a great ribbed texture. The yarn is "I Love This Yarn" worsted weight acrylic in color "Boo!" and I used a size J hook to get a chunkier feel. The size is 5" wide by 56" long (not including fringe).



It will be up for sale in my Etsy store which you can find links for on the right hand column.

Next project is another scarf done in sport weight with a great pattern. Hopefully done tomorrow!

Happy Hooking,
Cheryl

Weeeeellll.......

I think I'm hooked (pun intended). I finished the latest scarf last night and I really love how it came out.



It's quite long, about 6ft and measures about 4" wide. It was made with Bernat Sox yarn which is a size 1 Super Fine. The color is camouflage. I don't think it looks camo-ish at all. The colors are a celery green, taupe, tan, and the brown looks a bit purply, so overall the effect is not very masculine at all. The pattern is rows in the following order: 3 rows SC, 2 rows DC, 1 row TC, 2 rows DC, then repeat. I used a size D hook. This one took a couple of days to finish mostly because the yarn is so thin that the rows are very small and it took a lot of rows to get to six feet.

If anyone is interested I will be posting this scarf for sale in my Etsy store.

Next project? Of all things.... another scarf! I might have found my niche already. It will be a Halloween scarf. Look for it tomorrow!

OMG She's a Hooker!

Well the financial situation might be pretty bad, but it's not that kind of hooking! I've actually picked up crochet again. I've tried it a few times in the past, but never really got into it. This time it seems to be sticking. Also, I've developed a severe case of yarnitis. I can't stop buying the yarn in the clearance section at Hobby Lobby. So without further ado here is my first finished project:



This is a simple scarf that was made by alternating rows of SC with DC. Very simple, but I think it came out pretty good. It was made with a skein of worsted weight Red Heart yarn in "Artist Print". I used a size J hook.

My next project is another scarf done in fingering weight yarn. I should be done with that one tonight, so look for a new post.

Oh, and as for Cross Stitch, look at the link on the right, I've consolidated the WIP links into a single page, check it out.

Happy Hooking,

Sorry!

I know its been forever since I posted, but working the second job is about killing me! I like the job and the extra money, but time is way more precious than it has ever been for me and I really like to use what little time I have actually stitching, rather than blogging about what I'm stitching. Anyways, there's good news. I finished Butterflies Galore Storykeep. It took me almost exactly one month. Yay! Now if only I could finish a QS. I started the SK Moon Fantasy Freebie stitch-a-long over at the HAED bulletin board. I also started another CC Kuik QS: Nostalgia. So without further ado here are the pictures:

I know those are crappy pics of the two starts, I'll get some better ones over the weekend maybe. Also, check out the WIP page on the right column for Rainbow Mermaid updates!

Have a great weekend,
Cheryl

The new job is going well, so far I really enjoy it. It's taking away from my stitching time but I've still been able to make good progress on Butterflies Galore Storykeep. Here is the latest picture:

Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend. (Memorial Day here in the US)

Howdy,

I know I haven't been posting regularly. As is true for many out there our financial situation is not all that hot and I've ended up taking a second job. I'm working in the evenings now which doesn't leave a whole lot of stitching time. I've been able to get some more done on Rainbow Mermaid during slow periods at my day job (one of the reasons I had to take the night job, too many slow periods). Anywho, here's an update pic:

Mood: tired :(
