Get Hooked ~ Crochet by Erin

I wasn't planning on posting anything this week since I have a cold from hell. I have no voice right now and it sucks. my cat looks at me weird..lol  My "hey kitty kitty" sounds a bit creepy.. :) I don't think my list will ever be completed. I keep seeing things I want to make and they're not on my list so when I add them my list just gets longer... that's a bad Erin! I haven't posted anything in a few weeks so I NEED to do this :) This first project is actually part of my 16 in 2016 ... but I sorta have a theme for this week... any guesses on what that could be? hehe Its getting so warm here in RI I might not be able to wear this on Thursday with out looking silly.  (Pattern by Repeat Crafter Me) These I can definitely wear no mater what the weather is :) Beer mug coasters ... I dont drink beer but that are cute anyway! (pattern by Divine Debris ) **************** Back to my list...  I sewed on the arms and head...

And the Christmas season is over! I hope everyone had a fun holiday. For the past week and a half I've been getting all my 15 in 2015 posts up . My list is all patterns I paid for. At the beginning of the month I realized I did not have 15 projects ( though I have over patterns I paid for)  . So the past few days Ive been making last minute projects for the list. Only a few more to make and post. Why am I posting a 15 in 2015 on a Year of Projects post? because the same projects are on my YOP5 list as well :) So what have I finished...... I am so inlove with the Hooded Cookie Scarf! Now only if it was cold here ( in RI ) so I could  wear it... I like snowmen... can you tell? :)   My fiance was sad he didn't get his Shark Tail blanket for Christmas. After getting enough of the same color yarn for the project I had to start over. About half way through I noticed it would be too tight around the bottom for his feet so I frogged it and s...

Project # 9 : Hooded Cookie Scarf Pattern Designer: Snappy Tots I have a thing for snowmen! :) This is ANOTHER pattern by Snappy tots. I cant help it.. her patterns are so cute! I made this for me and some day the weather will be cold enough to where it here in New England! Come back for #9: Snowman flag

I have projects to share!!! I really want to keep this up on a weekly basis but sometimes I just don't progress on some projects. Sometimes I have orders I need to get done first. A few projects just don't have the same appeal that had when I added them to my list. So again, I will be moving things around.  Adding and removing . I have fallen in love with a new pattern designer. Spider Mambo . I think she has a thing for skulls.. :) I am currently on my second pattern buy her. I finished the Flat Jack scarf ( I need to redo the arms and legs since they are a bit on the long side for my taste). Below is the Stack of Skulls Santa hat . I love the way the FPdc and BPdc look! This brim is not in the pattern but one of the ladies that made the hat, made hers with the forward and backward post dc and I absolutely love it. I also started and finished a Pajama Monster . OMG its turned out so cute!!  I've been trying to make my Amigurumi family bigger bu...

Back to my Year of Projects list.... I've started my Totoro bag for my kindle and a flat jack scarf(newly added to my list.) , and a few other items. In my last post I said I wanted to make the Wicked Tutu bag for a weekend getaway. I made it in a few days and I love how it turned out!!! Pattern : Wicked Tutu bag Pattern :  Flat Jack Scarf Pattern:  Totoro bag Pattern: Christmas Wreath Square Scarf I am making for Maine's Special Olympics. Pattern: Hearts Hair Bow I didnt make anything from my hook challenge list for Halloween since I was so busy making Halloween orders. 

There aren't that many weeks left for YOP ( a year of projects ) . My list has been edited a few times and I also have a 15 in 2015 list ( not part of YOP) . That list if for the patterns I bought last year. I figured its time to make a dent in the list.  Last week I started a project for my hook challenge...  With Hope Scarf  . This is one of the projects I added since I didn't like the other project any more. I used a J Hook and Dark Orchid yarn by Red Heart.  Some how I missed 2 arches. The pattern called for 21 and I make 19. I have no idea how I did that. But it worked out well. Its not too short.  The pattern is easy and fun.  crochet hook made by PukaPeyDesigns on facebook!

Recently I joined a group called A Year of Projects. Members make a list of items to make and each week we blog about items we are working on and have finished. Most members are on week 9 . I am on week 1 since i just started. here is my official list ... The below pictures are part of the stash busting category.
