Lots of STUFF going on here....

Hello to all,

I have been so busy lately that I haven't been able to post in a good long while. I did just post my second square pattern today even though I had it done around the same time as the other one. YIKES-LOL I have been looking for a job and found one at Lowe's. So far that has been crazy trying to get everything right but I think I might have finally gotten it taken care of today. I almost left them and I was only there 4 days. Oh well, it was a bumpy road at first so maybe it will be better now. I had to put my school stuff on hold for a while so that was a bit crazy also. Been in and out of town to see my family in Virginia Beach and I have a car that seems to need constant care these days and it can't be something easy or cheap to fix either-UGH! So, to say the least it has been crazy! So, now I am going to show you what I have been working on over these crazy times.......These hats I made for my mother. She is going out on a cruise later in the year with my dad and wanted several hats that could go with anything. Remember the first crocheted hat I made in an earlier post? Well, that on is going with her too. Here is a picture of it on....
Isn't it cute? And how about that model? Another thing I have been working on is my mason dixon moderne log cabin afghan....


.
Don't have much done on it so far but it is coming along. The next color is the deep purple that is in the background of this picture. I hope my color choices turn out good in the end....I have made a little progress on my La Dentelle Belle scarf....
















I know it looks the same but I did get 5 more rows onto it. This is the project I am going to keep at work for my lunch break now that I have a job. It is very portable and MAYBE it will get done sometime soon....I am working on a Crochet Topper for my mother also for her cruise and that looks like this....


Don't have much done on this either but it is a fast crochet for the body part at least. Pretty cool color to make it in eh? It is brown with blue, green, red and purple flecks in it. Last but not least, my top down seamless raglan sweater progress. I have really made some progress with this sweater since I posted on it previous. I think it is turning out soooooo cute. Not sure what I am going to do with it once I am done with it. I sure like learning how to do it though....Here it is....

Isn't it so cute? Can you see the two buttonholes on the left of the picture? Awwww!

So that is all for pictures and progress of projects (say that 10 times fast LOL). I am also going to finish up some burpee cloths and some hospital baby shirts for an AC4C project for April's charity. I will post pictures of those when I get them done. Thanks for taking the time to look at what I have been up to lately. I still have a list of other projects that need to get done sometime soon also but I think I will work on these and as I finish one I will work in another. Great idea, right??!!?? Until next time....

The Patchwork Exchange 7" Square

I designed another square for the AC4C squares challenge we were doing to get our new joiners as many squares as we could. Here is the picture and pattern below....




This is a very easy pattern in multiples of 2. I used worsted weight yarn on this one but there is no gauge or yarn preference for this square just adjust accordingly if you plan to change anything....


Materials

Hook size L

Yarn of your choice


Chain 22

Row 1 sc in second chain from hook and in ea chain across

Row2 ch 1 and turn, sc in first sc, *skip next sc and sc in next sc and working around the sc just made, sc in skipped sc, repeat from * across row

Repeat row 2 for pattern-16 rows

Row 3 ch 1 and turn sc in each stitch across

Bind off and weave in ends

Please use this pattern for personal and/or charity purposes. If you are going to use this pattern please link to my blog. Thank you and Enjoy! Designed by Lily Hutton Feb. 26, 2008 Copyright 2008

My First Crocheted Hat

Okay so I have been gone awhile but sure have been busy. Lots of new stuff going on here....Thought I would post my latest project. I finished this for my mother last week.

Isn't it great?! She looks good in it too! I still have my other projects to finish and i am slowly working on those. I will be posting another square pattern this week also. Until then....
