Who Gives A Hoot?

These two certainly do!

{Gimme Five Man!}

Aren't these little guys cute! I would tote these guys with me wherever I went; if it weren't odd for an adult to do so.

{Someone is peaking}

After I was done stitching them all up, my husband promptly said

"Oh! Those are so cool hun, they look like the birds from Angry Birds"

So there you have it.

I on the other hand think they are quite fantastic. 

Here are their stunning mugs.

They were quick to whip up and would be a hoot of a gift for anyone!

A knot in my heart.

It calls to me. I swear it, I dream about the wonders it can create. There is something so amazingly soothing about crocheting. It is amazing to me the things that a simple piece of string can become. Anything, close your eyes and I bet you it can be created.
It must be a gene that is passed down. I learned from my Momma and her from my Grammie. I learned to crochet when I was little, and forgot about it until a couple of years ago. Since then, it has woven its way back into my heart, and created such a massive knot, I think it shall never be unwound. I started out with scarves, they were ugly and crooked. Yet I made 23 of them in two months time and donated them to a local shelter. I hope those who wear them now are warm, as those were the thoughts I had when making them. In one sense I feel bad for those who wear them, they were so incredibly ugly. :)
Then, I found cotton. Boy did that become my best friend. I started making dishcloths. They started out like 5 cornered squares. and soon they became tight even squares, that looked quite good. Then scrubbies, pot holders, warmers, dish towels, hats and once again scarfs.

So I created these little hooters. :)


Then the best part of it all. My Grandma gave me one of the best gifts. Crochet needles from my Great Grandma (My Grammie) and here they are. . .


I don't quite have a full set, but so close. I have a childlike idea about these. They are like the tennis shoes that made you run faster, or jump higher. THey make me crochet faster, more even, and cleaner stitches. I love them, I love what they do for my soul.
Simply I love the wonders they create and how they seem to speak to my soul.



Until Next Time,

crafty crafters

I have been so inspired by all the wonderful crafters out there. My thanks to google images. :) I was inspired to create my own head band and I did it! Yay! I made up the pattern and everything! Today has been eventful, I made 2 dish cloths, 2 scrubbies, a cool scarf, head band and flower. Now that I have the pattern down, I can make them in mass! Here is the pattern for all you crafty crafters out there!!
I used a size G hook.

Chain 8, Ch 1 and turn.
Row 1: HDC in each ch 1 space. ch 1 turn
Row 2-10: Repeat Row 1
*Row 11: 2 HDC in first HDC. HDC in each ch 1 space until end. 2 HDC in last HDC. Ch 1 Turn (12 HDC)
Row 12: HDC in each ch 1 space. Ch 1 Turn.
Repeat from * 2 more times
*Row 16: HDC in each ch 1 space. Ch 1 turn.
Repeat from * 15 more times
*Row 31: DC2tog. HDC in each ch 1 space until 2 ch left. DC2tog.
Row 32 HDC in each ch 1 space.
Repeat from * 2 more time.
*Row 37 HDC in each ch space. ch 1 turn
Row 38-43: Repeat from *
Row 44: 2 SC in first HDC. SC in each HDC until last HDC. 2 SC in last HDC
Finish: From row 44 SC along edge and join with SL ST. Fasten off. Join edges by sewing yarn between the two and weave ends into work.




















Then the flower pattern I used a size G hook as well.
(Leave about 1/2 -1 inch tail)Ch 47 (this is going to determine how big your flower is. So the longer the chain the bigger the flower.)
Row 1: skip 1 ch, SC in each ch space until end. Ch 1 turn.
*Row 2: skip 1 ch, *DC, ch 1 repeat from ** 3 more times. Skip ch 1 space SL ST and repeat from * until end.
Finish: Roll the scalloped end and manipulate it to look like a flower. Sew in tail to keep the look.


















TADA!
I had to share, and now I'm going to go have a craft night with my Momma!
