Bully for Blue

October 1st is World Day of Bullying Prevention and A Crocheted Simplicity designed a blue hat as a part of the #HatNotHate campaign organized by Lion Brand Yarn in collaboration with Stomp Out Bullying.

I was one of the lucky testers for this pattern. It turned out great, and such an easy pattern to follow.

If you’d like to learn more about the campaign and find out how you can support the cause, you’ll find the info in the blog post link below. If you don’t want to read the post and don’t crochet, simply wear a blue hat on October 1st to help spread awareness!

So finally get to post again. I have been really busy trying to get caught up sonce my surgery. My not napping toddler has been testing me too… hence the title. I tested this gorgeous slouch, the Hermosa Slouch and the Hermosa Cowl and Scarf from Laura Maes Crochet. I loved how the contrasting colors really make the pattern pop. Even Stormy Mo approved.

Did It Again, Another CAL

So I participated in the Too Yarn Cute Crochet A long in the fall of 2015. I tried to make them as gifts for Christmas. Both of my kids claimed the hats they modeled of course, but the infinity scarf was made especially for my sister-in-law. What do you think of my color choices?

 

 

Not Knitting… CAL #3

I participated in another CAL last fall through  A Crocheted Simplicity‘s event. I picked two gorgeous patterns to do, but ran out of time and only completed one. The Purl Illusions Slouch, I used Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in Polo… it is gorgeous. Don’t be afraid of Unforgettable, it is froggable as long as you take your time and go slowly. Luckily I didn’t have an issue and didn’t have to frog or rip out. Its a beautiful yarn and this is possibly my favorite colorway of Unforgettable.

This is a beautiful hat, the pattern is really easy to follow though the finished hat looks extremely complicated it really isn’t. I’m looking forward to making more of these. I am wondering how it would look using some Knit Picks Chroma.

 

Baby Steps My Very 1st CAL

Lately I’ve been dabbling in CALs, or Crochet-A-Longs and have really been enjoying color. My very first was of the Chevrons Slouch by Sincerely Pam. I didn’t want to do the traditional change of colors and had a skein of Red Heart Unforgettable in Stained Glass. It turned out gorgeous and the color changes in the skein really highlighted the chevrons.
