Finished Objects Friday-Tah Dah!!

 Isn't this yummy looking??!!

Jimmy Beans Wool was having a sale and I couldn't resist getting some of this gorgeous yarn.I wasn't sure about the colors or even what I am going to make with it but it was on sale!! (Is this how my stash got so big??)

 Now... on to more exciting news. I finished my cowl/scarf to go with my slouchy hat. I am so happy with how they turned out.  I do love this yarn from Lion Brand Tweed collection.


And now the BIG Tah Dah!

Chunky fingerless gloves...made from Lion Brand Hometown yarn.  I love, love, love these.   So soft and so warm and so easy peasy to make...








Aren't they cute? I  think these are going to be perfect for Christmas presents for the girls at the office.

Have a great weekend everyone and
Happy Crocheting!

Purple Plum Cowl/Scarf-Tah Dah!


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!
