What I've Been Doing....

The other night a friend of mine showed me a very cute baby beanie that she liked. I thought about it the rest of the night and was debating on whether I should just buy that one off of etsy, or if I should try to learn how to make them. Well, great minds think alike. The next morning I went out and bought the "I Taught Myself Crochet" starter kit and some yarn. THEN, she called and asked if I would like to take a class with her next month (about the EXACT same time her baby is due), and the rest is history. Here's my new fetish....

The first one was for Stuart. He has a Father/Son campout tomorrow night, so I thought it would be neat for him to take it. BUT.....I made it too small, so Myles got it....
...and he LOVES it!

Then next one that I made was for Macy, but Fiona wanted it, so Macy decided BEFORE it was finished that she would let Fiona have it. Here she is showing off as soon as I finished it...

I stayed up late last night to get Macy's done. She had a tough day yesterday, so I promised I'd get a good start on it when I put her to bed. I finished it this morning (we were up before 5:30!), and just finshed Stu's larger one. So....here's the four cutie pies......
...and I had to share this picture too, it was WAY TOO CUTE!!!!
I had a marker in Stuart's to help me remember where I was as far as getting it sized just right. He liked it so much that he wanted me to leave it in there. I am going to attempt to get one finished for Grady before they leave tomorrow. He's got a special request, so we will have to see how far my self teaching can go.

If I could get myself to sit down long enough to read the instructions thru, I may be able to follow the patterns that I have printed off the internet. I have some flowers that I'd like to add to the girl ones, but the patters consist of numbers and abbreviations...a bit too confusing (or time consuming) for me at this moment.

We have a Cub Scout end of the year pot luck tonight. Have a great weekend if I don't post again before then.....but, check back for Grady's cool cap... :)
