T-Rex Knitting Fun

This little number was for my youngest son who is obsessed with dinosaurs.  He's already told me he is going to be a paleontologist when he grows up and marry Kaitlyn.  (Mind you he just graduated from Kindergarten.)  But at least he knows where he's going, right?  This really was a fun project to do.  My sister and mom gifted me the pattern, along with other types of dinosaurs, BUT of course, T-Rex is his favorite.  I also made a small dinosaur blanket for his birthday, which he loves.  The material even has the dinosaur name printed below the image of each one - pretty cool!

Freeform

This was originally going to be an African Violet potholder, BUT somewhere along the way I messed up.  SO this became several african violets that I crocheted together to form a ring around a central african violet with crocheted edging on it.  Turned out to be quite an interesting centerpiece I must say.  There's some really nice work out there on Flickr - crocheted African Violets.

Bring on Spring - the Crochet Way

I am so excited about this little number.  I followed Lucy's pattern at Attic24 and couldn't wait to hang it on the front door.  I think it's just the cutest way to celebrate May.  Of course anything crochety is a great way to spend May.  Such a sweet way to be welcomed home each day!!!

Summer Granny Square Cushion Cover

 

I have yet to finish these two pillow covers, but thought I'd at least post the crochet side!  I was inspired by Attic24's website.  I wanted to use earthy fall colors for these pillows.  I really like how the flower granny square one turned out - that would be the picture on the top.  I will post the finished project as soon as I can!!

Tee Time

   

This was a fun crochet project.  My son's school holds a fundraiser each year.  Each homeroom has a themed basket that they have to fill and it becomes part of the fundraising event.  His homeroom's theme is - you guessed it - golf!!!  So I soon discovered this pattern online and had a lot of fun making these golf club covers.  You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Fun is all in how you wear it!

So my youngest son wanted a hat all his own - not like big brother's.  Oh no!  Had to be unique and all his own.  He didn't want a hat with ear flaps - too silly in his opinion.  BUT imagine the hat he picks - one with not only one pom pom on top, but 2!  So silly is all in the eye of the beholder - the fun is all in how you wear it, right?  So the pattern was found in Morehouse Farm Knits book.  There's some really neat projects to take on in this book.  I had a lot of fun making this hat and it went quickly with the thicker Wool-Ease yarn.

Found this pattern in Lion Brand Yarn Just Hats book. I used Fisherman's Wool in two different colors and I think it really turned out nice. My oldest son loves it and gets lots of compliments from his friends.  I think there may be more in the making - oh darn.  :0)  I guess I'll just have to make more...
