My Crafting Buddy

This is Jack. I think he enjoys yarn as much as I do. Maybe for different reasons. He is the Dirty Bird in my house!

Mastering the Bobble Stitch

Posted by cwein09 — No Comments

I’ve been busy with a new project that is all about the bobble stitch. Until now it was probably one of my least favorite stitches. This pattern from 5 Little Monsters Crochet changed all of that.

I started with this pattern and then ventured out to make one of my own! The red and light grey dishcloths are made using the 5 Little Monsters Pattern (I just added a few more rows to make them a bit longer). The third dark grey version is my own Dirty Bird Crafts creation using my now favorite bobble stitch. Check them out!!

I love how they turned out!!!

Forever Scarf

Posted by cwein09 — No Comments

It’s done! This gorgous pattern from Rescued Paw Designs (find it here) was easy to make and with just a few stitches you make this beauty. It took me about two days so it was a quick project.

The puff stitches add alot of texture and interest. This scarf was made with I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby in Ivory. I think it would look amazing in any color! Hmm….should I make the next one in grey or maybe a funky shade of pink? Better yet, how about Dirty Bird blue?

Crochet Baby Blanket x 2

Posted by cwein09 — No Comments

A glimpse of my latest WIP – a pink version of a blue blanket I just finished. My cousin is expecting twins in a few months – one boy and one girl!!! This is my gift for her.

This gorgeous pattern is called Pink Moscato Double Shell and you can find it here. I found a gorgeous color – Hobby Lobby’s “I LOVE THIS YARN SUPERSOFT” in Iced Violet. A soft grayish pink!! For this one I also had a buddy helping me along.

and here is my buddy – he’s hard at work as you can see!!

More photos to come of both once I have them completed.

Check out the pattern and give it a try … you wont be disappointed!XOXO
