Happy Halloween!!

I thought I would use Halloween as a time to actually introduce myself.  I am a 31 Year old wife/mother of a 2 year old boy.  My husband and I have been married 4 years together for 13.  My son is a hoot and keeps me pretty busy.  I work full time and use my little spare time for my crafts.  I try to do some sort of craft every day but it is hard with my busy schedule.  I am a self taught knitter who did nothing but scarves for many years.  I got brave about 3 years ago and started to learn to read patterns and charts.  Last fall I found the Duck(t) tape bug and have been doing that ever since.  About 5 months ago I got a book to learn how to crochet; a week later I watched a YouTube video which jump started my crochet.  I made two crochet pop tab purses.  One was exact to what the YouTube video tutorial and one I worked up to my specifications.

Creatividades100 is awesome and has a ton of great tutorials.

Friends!

I was felling a bit under the weather and did not make it to our girls night Monday.  Tuesday morning I was greeted with this.

I truly have great friends.  Cami got me these flowers and a beautiful card with message attached, made me feel so loved.  Tiffany offered to bring me soup!!  What did I do right to deserve friends so good.

October Projects

October!

October is one of my favorite months of the year!  It also seems to jump start my crafting bug.  I have been working on many things this month. Here is a small list of what I am working on.

I started knitting a sweater.

I am using the free pattern found here:  http://www.yarnspirations.com/pattern/knitting/argyle-sweater-0

I used the yarn specified in the pattern BERNAT® SUPER VALUE but instead of the dark gray I used black, white trim and pink for the argyle pattern.  I think I am about half way up the front panel.

Cowls

I have finished two chunky cowls.  I found the pattern here:  http://laurendahl.com/free-knitting-pattern-two-hour-cowl/

They were really quick and fun to work. I found myself wanting to do a few more for quick and easy Christmas presents.

My duct tape addiction continues.

I started making women's wallets, bi-fold wallets and flower pens again.

That is just a few of my projects I will have more updates later!

Welcome to my crafting world.

Welcome to my crafting world.  

I wanted to start this blog to have a place to post all of my projects.  I am a self taught in knitting, crochet, and pick up various crafts between projects.  This is my first time blogging so I will keep it short.  Here is my latest creation in progress.  I will be adding more post later of past projects or works in progress.

I am working on a variation of a standard Chevron crochet blanket. I will add pictures along the way to show progress.  Here is what I got done over the weekend.
