Lots to say
I usually post on Monday's because I usually do stuff on the weekend. But sorry, I couldn't get to it. First of all, I received my prize from Wendy and WOW how cool is this?
Thank you so much Wendy!! This has a freakin pattern, not a stitch but a PATTERN, for every day of the year! I love this thing!
Secondly, I have my first pattern that I am going to share! It isn't much really.... Anyone could have come up with it. But I did and I am going to share:
The Crochet Scrarf
Nice and original huh?
Here is a detail
And here they are folded up (because they are really long)
Okay so here is what you do:
Materials: Lion Brand Micro Spun (1 skein per color)
Crochet Hook Size "H"
Chain 300, yes 300, insert hook into the second chain from the hook and single crochet to the end. Do as many rows as you can stand, switch colors, don't switch colors. Do what you want. Oh and "DON'T TAKE TIME AND CHECK YOUR GAUGE" It's not important. God I love that! Keep going till you like the width. then just tie it off and add the fringe.
I like the Micro Spun yarn because it is sooooo soft. It comes in a lot of different colors too. Have fun!
Has anyone been over to Missa's site? No? Well scoot....I'm waiting, her hat is just the best! I actually made one last night (why don't I have a picture? I dropped a stitch and ripped the whole damn thing out that's why) But I will have made one tonight. I love this hat!
I joined the Hallowig Along! I love this thing too, I just don't know what color to make it. Finally in keeping with Halloween here is a picture I took last night of a spider making a web on my porch.
Kinda freaky huh? The damn thing has legs hairyier than mine! (Did I spell that right?) NOPE it's HAIRIER

ok so if you post one more photo of a spider on your blog i'm not coming to see you anymore! ;-)
great picture, though. and i love your scarf pattern! (what is the knitting gauge on the micro spun? you guys need to go metric; hook size h means nothing to me! ;-))

I hope you enjoy the calendar -- I can't wait to start using mine. Your scarf design is wonderful!

Hairier... I think :)
That prize from Wendy is über cool! You will have to let us know how that is, because then I can go get one! Your scarves look great, and this may be an easy enough pattern that I can follow. I am not so good with crochet, but I will practice. I am in Hallowig knitalong too, but I have the same dilemma as you: what color?
Talk to you soon, Beth! :)

I like patterns like that! They look so nice and have instructions like "as many as you can stand". Now that's something I can follow.
