Smiles, Scarves & Hats!

Wow...I am just realizing how behind I have been!  I have been productive though.   

I have finished another pom-pom snowman.  Or should I say snow-girl! 

And here is Mr. Helmet Hat.  There is something about this little guy I love.  He makes me smile. 

Now...this little pair of snow people have really made it to my favorites.  I made her a brimmed cap with a flower and a little cape.  Her partner has a top hat.  These were so much fun to make.  They definitely belong together.

I managed to get a little bit of crochet mojo going with another ruffle scarf. 

The red yarn is from my stash, the remainder is from a Big Lots score!  I just love a good yarn score.  $1 a ball.  You can't beat it!  It worked up really pretty.  I did a shorter scarf using a chain 90 instead of the 150. 

I made the ruffle a little thicker too by adding an additional row.

I am off for now.  I have a little snowman on my needles that is calling to me!  Buh-bye!

There's no man like a 'Snowman"!

I am back in snowman production!!  I had forgotten how much fun they are to work up.  And when I finish one up, well...they just make me smile!

I finished this little guy up this morning.  Is he not just the cutest thing??!!  I like to give them names.  I'm thinking, "Smiley".

"Peggy Tails"

I made Peggy Tails for a girl I knit with.  Notice her little "stripe-ity" scarf!!  She loved it!  

This little "snowgirl" was a special order.  She asked for one with a birthday hat and in pink.  I think she turned out quite cute!

I am getting emails on the pattern for these.  I really have none.  It's just a little tube.  They look like a tylenol capsules before I put the faces and dress them.  I am using the "magic loop" method on a size US1 circular needle for them.  If you haven't tried it you need to!!  My Knitting Bud taught me and it opened a whole new world to me.  I would fight with double pointed needles.  She is an awesome sock knitter and a magic loop goddess!  You can visit her blog, "House of Tater" to check out her knitting!

Well, I finally found it!  Some Lion Brand "Amazing" yarn.  Where?  At A.C. Moore!  And it is truly amazing!  Although I wanted the "Ruby" they were out, so I came home with "Mesa".   This is pretty yarn.  I want more!  I am thinking of doing another one of these scarves but doing it half the length.  I'm putting that on my to do list.

I made this one for my sister.  I used this new yarn call Mosaic by Bernat, in the color "Ninja".  Two skeins exactly.  If you crochet loosely you may want to get three skeins. 

Before I go, I just have to share my freakishly long ruffle scarf!  I came across it this weekend when I was organizing all my scarves.  I did this after I first learned to knit.  Something went wrong somewhere.  I kept running out of yarn and back to the craft store to get more.  When I bound it off, I realized it was a bit long!

I don't know what else I can say, LOL!

The roast is in the oven and smelling really good, my headache is gone, and I am going to settle in and work on another snowman.  I love Sundays!
