Feb 14: Snug Booties (Baby) - COMPLETED

Pattern #45: Snug Boots

Happy Valentine's Day! And welcome to Baby Week. I love making things for people when they are going to have a baby. I mean, babies are cute, and all baby things are cute. So it is a major win - win situation. I made these boots a few weeks ago for a friend who just had a baby. Baby Ezra, actually. But they ended up being pretty small - they fit perfectly on an American Girl doll! haha I am going to try and make these with a larger hook, so that they will fit a baby! I improvised and made a larger pair (5.5" long) for a friend, but forgot to take a picture! If I can perfect this pattern, for my tight stitching, I will post a new picture. For now, here are my American Girl Uggs (as I now call them!)

Feb 7: Box of Chocolates (Love)

Pattern #38: Box of Chocolates

It's Love week over here at Crochet Every Day. Then again, it's Love week on my other blog as well. Love is in the air and all over the blogosphere! I wanted to kick this week off with this pattern from Coats & Clark. It is a project that I labeled, many months ago, as "crochet, candy, hard." That is what I really thought, "this project will be so difficult and I will never be able to do it." However, once I looked at the pattern, I realized it is a bunch of easy stitches, it just look super hard. If only I had looked closely at the pattern before, and not been so easily overwhelmed. But honestly, won't this be the cutest Valentine's Day decoration, once I finish?

Jan 9: Fashion Scarf (Scarf Week) - COMPLETED

Pattern #9: Fashion Scarf

One last Red Heart find (can you tell that I found Red Heart later than the Lion Brand - they are all in a row. haha I will work on spreading out the "yarn specific" patterns later).  This ends Scarf Week.  Stay tuned for next week - Beanies!  I am stretching myself because originally I made basic single crochet beanies and scarves.  Following a pattern is how I am growing.  Let me know if you (I say this thinking that no one is reading this) have anything you would like to see!

--------------------

Updated June 10, 2014: I finished this scarf in January as a gift for my mother in love. I used two strands of lightweight yarn to make it. I LOVE how it turned out!

Jan 7: Winter Wear -- COMPLETED

Pattern #7: Winter Wear

This pattern is courtesy of Red Heart yarn.  I love that it has three projects in one - hat, scarf, and gloves.  But we are only focusing on the scarf today!

------------------

Updated January 14, 2015: I made this scarf for a friend for Christmas. I really like how it turned out, although it's very similar to the basketweave scarf! I think my friend liked it as well. I mean, who wouldn't love a hot pink scarf?? Oh yeah, and I finished it the night before our gift exchange, so this quick pic is all I have! Whoops!

Jan 4: Starter Scarf (Scarf Week) - COMPLETED

Pattern #4: Starter Scarf.

I originally found this on Ravelry and started crocheting it in November 2009. However I have only complete 2 sections, and decided I can still site it here, seeing as I have not finished it and this blog is a task of completion. :) This is a Red Heart pattern.

In Progress:

Updated 2/16/2011:  While I finished this last year, I did not get any good pictures until this year.  You can see the detail in the "in progress" picture, and a hint of it in these pictures from Fortuna Photography.
