I Did It!

I am so proud of myself. I made the camoflage skirt without a pattern. That is the first time I have ever done that!! Although, I did used the beige skirt as a guide. It was rather easy to do. And I was able to get it to the correct size in two fittings.

I must confess, the skirt was part of a Halloween costume. So, yes I am a little behind in blogging.

Today, the Otter B. Knitt'n group delivered about 100 hats to a homeless shelter. Hats were made in all sizes and colors. Some were knitted and some were crocheted. For more info and pics, visit the Knit, Stitch and Loom Talk listed in My Blog List.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

My First One!!!

I have completed my first amigurumi! I made a mommy octopus. However, I was a little disappointed because I did not have enough of the lime green yarn. So I used teal colored yarn, which is quite a bit of a contrast, but it looks okay. It was fun and easy to make. Also, I did not use plastic eyes as the directions called for. I cut circles from felt and sewed them on. I thought that would be more safe if a child were to play with it.
And I crocheted the doily underneath. And again, this project was fun and easy to make.

More later! Have a great week!
