Embellished Scarf

I just looked at the blog and realized I haven't posted since January. JANUARY! Crazy, I know! And it's not that I haven't been crocheting. I've actually been crocheting up a storm. I am trying to finish my goal by this year, after all. I don't think it will happen, but I'm going for a 75% finish rate! Anywho, I just haven't been blogging about my crocheting. So many pictures have been taken, but they just stay on my camera! Whoops! I'm going to try and catch up soon!  For now, I'll leave you with pictures of this finished project. It was a gift for my mother in love this January.

Scarf: Fashion Scarf (January 9)

Embellishment: Snowflake Earrings (November 19)

The yarn was picked by my mother in love to match a sweater that she has. I love the contrasting snowflake, because it is not the expected flower. Also, it wraps around, which I forgot to get a picture of!

December 27: Snowflake Garland

Pattern # 361:  Snowflake Garland

Here we have another Coats & Clark snowflake pattern.  I wonder where I could put this garland -- we dont' have any staircases (and I imagine it on a bannister).  Hmmm

December 26: Snowflake Table Runner

Pattern # 360:  Snowflake Table Runner

Happy Day after Christmas.  That is called Boxing Day in Canada & England, right?  Well today it is a wedding day.  My hubby is in a wedding today and I will be in attendance.  I hope the weather is nice, since it is outside at 11 am!!

Anywho.  Okay.  Wow.  I am seriously at 360 patterns.  That is so crazy to me.  It means I actually made it through the whole year posting a pattern each day (okay so a few times, I have had to backpost, but they were all written down in my calendar way before! haha).  And only 5 days of my initial challenge left.  Sad. But now it's time to get my hook flyin!

December 25: Snowflake Hat - COMPLETED

Merry Christmas!  I hope you are all enjoying days with your family!  It is second Christmas for me, as we had our first Christmas last Saturday with my family.  I wish we all lived closer together!

Pattern # 359:  Snowflake Hat
Wow.  This blog is confusing (it's called 85% Confusion, 15% ?).  But I love the hat pattern! haha

Updated August 6, 2012: This hat is so fun! It actually makes me want to go snowboarding or something -- just don't tell my husband!!

November 29: Snowflake Ornaments

Pattern # 333:  Snowflake Ornaments

I forgot to mention yesterday, this week is ornament week.  I love Christmas and I love Christmas tree ornaments -- so why not devote a week to them??

November 19: Snowflake Earrings - COMPLETED

Pattern # 323:  Snowflake Earrings

This pattern is another one from Yellow, Pink, and Sparkly, which is in my google reader.  I just love how cute these earrings are.  They are a bit big for me though, so I may try to make them with smaller crochet thread or a smaller hook!

Updated June 10, 2014: I wasn't sure I would ever wear these as earrings. However, when I was looking for a pattern for an embellishment on a scarf, I knew this was just the fit. I used two strands of sock weight yarn and a really big hook (of course I can't remember now what size) to make the embellishment. It was PERFECT! I wrapped it around the back and sewed it on. Now I'm just sad that I didn't think to take a pic of the back. It is super cute though!
