Uptown Bag from the Happy Yellow House.

Here is my rendition of the Uptown Bag from the Happy Yellow House. I gave it to my daughter becuase it was smaller than I like. She is thrilled, I am not! I will make me a bigger one down the road, but not right now. It is fully lined with a pocket. Very nice bag all in all, just smaller than I like. Pattern is here... http://www.happyyellowhouse.com/htm/uptownbag.html

Crochet Hook Caddy

I love this thing!!! I have 40+ crochet hooks, an afghan hook, 2 pairs of scissors, 6 inch ruler, pkg sewing needles, some straight pins around the edge, a couple big needles around the edge it even has 3 of my chignon pins on it!
I had to make a 2nd one because the other one was too full, so now I will keep the bigger hooks on one and the smaller hooks including the little steel hooks in the other one. Pattern can be found here... http://hometown.aol.com/crochetalong/hookcaddy.html

Pretty Periwinkles Pot Holders

Here is the pot holder pattern I looked for days online only to find out it was in my crochet book collection!!! The pattern is the Pot Holder out of the Kitchen Caddy Set on page 50 of Captivating Crochet from The Needlecraft Shop. Works up quite easily.

Infamous Granny Square Afghan.....

I just got back from sister's and got some pics of the infamous 2 week king size granny square afghan! It is 13 rows long and 11 rows wide. They're not quite 7" squares. What a job it was... just about 2 weeks before her birthday my sister made the comment thats she was really bummed that she never recieved one of the just jumbled mixed up color granny square afghans that mom and gramma used to make.....WOW... so between my job, grandkids and just the holiday's (Thanksgiving and Christmas) coming up ... I got it done! Was up til 3 and 4 in the morning every night, working on it every second I could and then staying up all night long on the eve of her birthday it was delivered by hand the morning of her birthday (11/25)! It was hilarious, my grandson FREAKED out over it and started rolling around on it saying "yarn....yarn...yarn" poor baby is yarn obsessed! Anyway... She loves it, she will NOT put it on her bed, she keeps it on her living room sofa so "everyone can see it there!".

That's a lot of granny squares!!!

"Cotton Sponges"

These are sponge size double thickness little cloths. Nice size ...














Cotton Dish Sponges
Peaches and creme or sugar n cream worsted weight cotton
G or H hook
No Gauge
ROW 1: Chain 20, SC in 2nd chain from hook and in every other chain , turn
ROW 2-7: ch 2 and HDC in each stitch to end, now just turn and HDC in each remaining chain down the other side.this will make a pocket purse type shape and just use a SC in each stitch to close it up.
ROW 8: ch 1 SC, HDC, SC in same stitch, sk next 2 spaces and do a (sc, hdc, sc) in every 3rd space around. Adjust anyway you need to make sure the shell trim goes all the way around. If you are like me they will all turn out just a smidge different
I have made these with up to 30 chains to start for a bigger cotton sponge.
