Heading To Montana

Hey all,
Well, i'm heading to montana this weekend to spend some time with my GrandMa and Aunts and Uncles!! It should be fun.
I'll be working on a quilt my Grandma's mom started, and possibly working on fencin' some ground with my aunt, uncle and cousins (that should be a blast. I'm so excited. And I'm dead serious too!).
I think I'll bring all of the afghans I've started and work on them over there.

If I like it enough over there I'm thinking of just moving over there. I really love montana.
Anyways, time to get some stuff done today.
God Bless ya'll!!!

Child's Cabled Wrist Warmer Pics

Here are a few different pics of the same item. I'm trying to decide what pic I like better.

Pink Cabled Wrist Warmer

Ok, Here's a wrist warmer I worked up today. The pattern is in the works.
It's a childs wrist warmer in Red Heart economy pink, sparkly yarn stuff (not to vague I hope. Lol).
As soon as the pattern has been written and tested I plan on posting it in my etsy shop along with my other patterns.


Thanks for looking!!

Ok, sorry I haven't posted here for a while. Been kinda busy lately. I do have something to show for all the no post days. I'll just post one thing right now. A pic of a wristwarmer I wrote the pattern for:

Reversible Afghan Pattern

Ok, Here's the pattern for that afghan I'm working on right now. I promised quite a few people on crochetville I'd write out the pattern.
There are some parts of the pattern that were really hard to write so they are probably harder to understand so if ya'll have trouble just leave a comment with the question and I'll help ya out.
Hope you all enjoy the pattern.







Supplies: A lighter color for MC (main color),
a darker color or color for CC ( contrasting color).
A "K" crochet hook works well but it really depends on the yarn you are using and your personal preferences.
Note: All stitches are worked in BL except when instructed to dc in fl of said row.
Always go back to begging of row to start new row.
Chain a multiple of 8 + 6 sts in MC, then fasten off and go back to begginning of ch.
Row1: Attach MC in first ch, ch1, sc in each ch across. Fasten off, leaving approx 3 inch tail.
Row2-4: Attach MC in BL of first sc, ch1, sc in each sc across. Fasten off, leaving approx 3 inch tail.
Row5:Attach CC in BL of first sc, ch1, sc in each sc across. Fasten off, leaving approx 3 inch tail.

Repeat rows 5-8 for pattern.
End pattern with 4 rows with MC, in BL’s. In Same manner as Row 2.

A Little Sad

Well ya'll!! I'm a little bummed. A very good friend of mine joined the National Guard a few months ago and just shipped off to bootcamp early yesterday morning. I'm really gonna miss him!!! We've had so many good times together!! Working on worship music for church. Hanging out in town. He's been the most amazing friend I've ever had. I really care about him!!!!
Ya'll are probably thinking that I'm boo hooing about nothing!! He'll be home in a few months and then he'll be home to stay!!! Wrong!! He chose to go Active!! ACTIVE for eight years. Way to long in my book. Yeah, I might see him every once in while. But that won't be soon enough.
Anywho. Enough on that!! I've had my full day of cryin' my eyes out, and now it's time to start back up on my crocheting!! Hmm, I should make him a helmet liner!! I shall.

Take care ya'lll!!!
Have a great day and happy crocheting and REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS!!!!
