Roosters full of hope and love!

What do you think?  I must say, I have loved working on this.  My husband told me, "Oh, that is so you!"  It will be hanging in my kitchen window, but due to our gloomy day, I had to take it outside to get some decent pictures.

I simply used my rooster pattern and added some "hope" and "love" to it. 

I like this redheart yarn I found.  It is called "Primary".  The colors are awesome!

I think it's so Groovy!

I have managed to get another pair of fingerless gloves done.  I am going to try and get another pair done this weekend. 

I do have more to share, but it is so dark and gloomy today I can't get any decent pictures.  Maybe tomorrow...we'll see.

A New Year...

I have to say I am ready!  I like New Year's.   It's like a new start, a clean slate so to speak.  After a busy Christmas I'm happy to settle back into my routine.  Decorations will come down this week, but not today.   Today I'm chilling with Phoebe and old movies, and of course some yarn!

She's lounging in the sun while I was taking pictures of these cute little fingerless gloves.  Look at those eyes!

Check em out!!!  I like them so much I have started another pair.  The pattern is a redheart freebie.  I don't normally care for crocheted gloves because they can feel too bulky, but I like these.  They actually look knit to me.

I used a sock yarn that I got in a yarn swap, so I don't know where it is from.  The green in it is stunning.

Another thing I have been wanting to make myself is a pair of warm socks to wear around the house to keep my feet warm.  I found crochet geeks tutorial on you tube and followed it, except for the cuff.  I did a ribbed cuff on my and worked it in the round.

You could easily rename these "feet warmers"!  They are so cozy and warm!

I  did use a bulky yarn, if I had gone with something finer I could easily wear these with shoes.  I'm so pleased with them!  And they are crochet!!!  How cool is that!

I'm off for now, going to work on my second pair of gloves.  I hope everyone had a great New Years!

Phoebe wishes you all a Happy New Year!
