My mom's birthday was in November and I made her this cowl. The yarn came from a local Alpaca farm. Its baby alpaca and I wasn't sure how it would work up... If not for the expense (which my mom is worth) I'd crochet with it all the time!
I finally lined the hobo style bag. I think it turned out nice.
I especially love that I made the strap adjustable. I'm pretty sure its going to stretch when the bag is loaded up. I love the size of it, too. I crocheted another one in black, ecru, and cranberry but I ran out of black yarn which made the strap too short. I'm going to frog it and add more ecru and cranberry. (Well, sometime over the winter I will.)
I visited a friend a few weeks ago and we made little boxes from greeting cards. Here's the video tutorial we used.
I made some more that weekend from old Christmas cards. They are so cute! I did modify how I folded them though. I used a ruler to draw lines from corner to corner, instead of folding, so the tops and bottoms don't have creases in them.
In one of the boxes are a pair of Christmas ear rings that Noelle made for me. Aren't they sweet?
And I finally got my netbook =D
It even has a crochet cover, with a zipper, that I made for it.
Its taking a little getting use to, size wise, but I love it!
Here's an update on the baby cocoon and hat that I made for a friend's little boy. She posted this picture on Facebook and tagged me so that I could see how little Brock is enjoying it. Isn't he a cutie?!!
