Moss Stitch Baby Hat I wish I could find something like this crochet! So cute and chunky weight yarns tend to work up faster. I love the colors of this one too. I'll have to mimic these in future.

Pretty Kitty Cat Hat Sweetest kitty hat ever! The site only offers it in one size (6 months) but I think the deal is you can buy the pattern for others. Super cute! I might be able to make this in crochet if I try hard enough.

Where I spent my day So much anxiety today. I hid most of the day in the ladies toilet at work barely being productive.

Crochet stool covers Thought these were a nifty way personalize your bar stools. Fairly simple design but then those are usually the best! Love it!

Kitty scarves!!!! The hottest craze for the cat in your life from Japan? Cat scarves! The come packaged from Amazon Japan in a lovely box and sized for small to medium kitty companions! You have to admit it does give an air of sophistication to an already posh breed.

Still sick...

Still sick…

Whatever this crud is, it’s kicking my butt. I am better than I was but still… Today is not as productive as I would like. I took my anti anxiety pills and I swear I’m not as sharp as I used to be. Just dulled out. Which is what I suppose you would want if you were having a panic attack like I was this morning. But it doesn’t work well when you’re trying to type out a report due by 2:30pm and you…

Pink Kitty Hat! Support women's rights with these cute hats! The Pussyhat Project website seems to have a lot about knitting these but I found a crochet pattern on Ravelry for those us that has hooking come easier.

Inspiration: Shein Loose fit sweater

Shopping around I found this sweater and a fine use crochet indeed! There’s no pattern or anything. I just thought it was lovely inspiration for how you might fit your own work into everyday items. But if you want to check out this sweater for yourself, visit the Shein website. It has a bit of romance in it, does it not?…

Knitted Koala Hat

The first hat I ever crafted was knitted but it wasn’t nearly as cute as this! A sleepy koala for an active baby. What could be better? Thanks to Littleredwindow.com for sharing this one! http://littleredwindow.com/2016/06/cuddly-koala-hat-knitting-pattern.html

Kitty Beanie! 

If your cat will let you do this, then you have to make it and send me the picture because every time I see a cat in a hat I go absolutely bonkers! So damn cute! The pattern does not include the pom pom but there’s plenty of instructions on how to make those out there so rock on! http://crochetpages.blogspot.ca/2013/03/kitty-beanie.html?m=1

Tolt Folded Bag Here is yet another in a long line of tote bags that I am dying to have!

[theknittingneurotic]

MakeAndDoCrew.com has this lovely and easy pattern for a tote bag that anyone can pull off! Amazing what a few grommets, rope, and the Suzette stitch can do.

You had one job… I saw this while chillin' on Pinterest and I thought "What a true and clever t-shirt! I'ma buy one!" It wasn't until I went to check out, all set to pay a reasonable $21.95 on Teespring.com that it hits me in the face.

Knitted Summer Clutch I feel in love with this pattern the moment I saw it! What I think I like about it so much is the combo of t-shirt yarn, color, and simplicity.

Tiny stag party! I am mesmerized by folks that can micro-crochet. I ran across this amazing blog posting from

Newsboy brim hat

I have had this pattern for a while and I finally found the perfect yarn for it! This was easier than I thought with the brim. Top it off with tiny wooden buttons and I’d say it’s pretty close to the pattern picture. Yeah buddy! I done good! Want the pattern? Get it here! http://vallieskids.blogspot.com/2010/07/to-brim-or-not-to-brim.html?m=1
