A Newb bearing gifts...

I joined this group not too long ago (like a week or so, really...) and really like the idea of how this works! Plus, it gives me extra motivation! I love working on small things, mainly for the "instant gratification" that goes along with them! So, here is one of my small projects for sharing! And don't worry, I have more to share as later!



This rabbit I made for my son, Alex, for Easter. I used the "Best Bunny" pattern from Lion Brand Yarn. I just think it's sooo cute. I also made another one for a coworker and her daughter but didn't have time to get a picture of it before I had to give it to her.

This was also my first attempt at amigurumi and I think I really like it! In fact, I have a monkey to make for my little one now and will gladly share that too whenever I get done with it!

What a beautiful day!!

And I spent the vast majority of it in the house working on some crochet stuff...

Not that I minded, trust me!! I now have an absolutely adorable pair of fingerless mittens based off of this pattern by CreativeYarn. I crocheted it in Caron Simply Soft Plum Wine, so it is really girly! So outside the norm for me! But then agian so is all my other crafting things lately!

I'm now working on a matching scarflette, based off of the pattern used for the mitts, photos coming soon!! As well as a pattern.

I figured it must be a wonderful day today, because we had two groups of visitors to our home cache today, very unusual! But nice! Happy caching to those who got out today to do so! We probably would've went out yesterday caching some, except that mike had a stomach bug that just wasn't doing him any favors, so we stayed at home.

I've been busy!!

Very very busy! I've been sewing and kniffty knitting my little soul away!!

And I have pics (finally) uploaded!! Amazing, isn't it? Yup Yup, sure is!!

So, here's the first batch of stuff!!



So, here is the cell phone holder that I made. I made this for the cell phone I finally broke down and got! I'm not much of a cell phone fan myself, so really didn't care if I had one or not. And now that I got one for cheap (pay as you go one for 10 bucks) I'm not about to go spending a bunch of money on a holder for it! But yet, I don't want the screen to get scratched up (my dh went and removed the "protective plastic covering" from the screen, which I always leave on...) so this was an "invention" of necessity.

I have since decided that I hate the big nose-like button that I crocheted, and I think I'm going to replace it with a larger real button. I'll see what I can find at our local podunk Wally Fart's. Probably nothing nice, that's for sure!

I made it with Bernat Haven (don't remember the exact type and I don't think they make it anymore either) in orange and yellow. I used the blue round loom made it wide enough for my cell phone and long enough to fold over just like I wanted it to before knitting off of the loom.

Then I crocheted the edges together to make the pouch. I single crocheted the little "clasp" piece and Viola! it is done!!

Or something like that!!

Enjoy!
