Purple Plum Cowl/Scarf-Tah Dah!

This was so easy and I don't know why I waited so long to finally give this Time Out Cowl pattern a try. I know a lot of you made it last year and I had it in my queue at Ravelry forever. The yarn turned out to be a nice surprise. It is Bernat Satin Solids in Plum Mist and I loved. So easy to work with, no splitting, it has a slight shimmer to it and the color is very rich. I plan to make lots of these for Christmas gifts this year. The girls at work will love it!

Thank you for all your kind comments you left me on my last post. It's nice to know you are there for me!

Little Patchwork Granny Squares

Hi all! I've been busy with my sweet little grand daughter, baby Emma! So I have some pictures of her wearing some of my crochet and pictures of what I've been working on when I have time to crochet between snuggles with Emma! :)

Here she is in the cocoon & hat I made her!

...and Emma's baby blanket!

And this is what I've been working on...

... aren't they sweet?

They are a basic granny with 3 rounds. I used a G Hook and leftover yarn from my Stylecraft DK from Deramore's. I had a lot left over from making my Ripple. I'm not sure how I will join them yet. Maybe a neutral color for the border and in between the squares? What do you think?

I am a long way from being done with the squares so this will be a large blanket!

I hope you all are doing well and I've missed visiting your blogs. Work has also been crazy and will be until the end of October. Traveling some and that makes it hard to keep up with all your blogs!

Happy Crocheting!

Pinterest Inspiration- Crochet Hats

I'm loving these slouchy hat patterns for Fall. This first one is a free pattern on Ravelry, Phannie, I made over the weekend with Lion Brand Tweed Stripes yarn for my lovely daughter. Of course I don't have a picture but I will. It was so easy and the variegated yarn made beautiful rows and looked like I changed colors. I will get a picture for you later. I am going to make me one too! I love it!!

I hope you enjoy this weeks Pinterest Inspiration...
