Cream & Pink  Colored Hat

I feel the winter in my bones so it is hats , hats , and more hats !  I can`t get my hands to stop working in this cool weather ! I love it :)  

The flower for this hat took almost as long as making the hat itself , but the flowers are my signature to all my creations so I take care in trying to make each one look different  and if I fail with the first try , I keep trying till I get one that I love . It may sometimes take me 10 tries but the end result is always worth it for me .

I owe all my inspiration for these HATS  to Baby Emily , Carolina , Daniella , And baby Liya ( whom I haven`t even met yet ! , But a picture says a thousand words :) )

I wonder what the next hat will be ? I can`t wait myself ! I have been thinking Xmas colors . Time will tell .

If you have any ideas about color schemes or styles ,  jot me a comment and let me know !

Flower


Poncho fits size 10/12 maroon & Lt blue

This Pancho just turned out fabulous . I made it with A combination of  Double crochet , Shell stitch and the Lovers knot (Also known as the Solomon's knots ).  I added a nice long fringe on the bottom , A cute flower in the front with a long tassel to give it the extra touch  it needed .

An up close look of the stitch on the round loom

I found a set of 5 looms on sale for $4.99 last year and just could not pass them up , I had never worked on these round looms before so I was not sure what to expect. The end result is amazing , It looks so professional and I love that you can make them double thick so they are very warm for those very cold days . You can also make them double sided in 2 different colors (reversible ) I will be playing with them more  in the coming weeks .

Its amazing how quick it works up , but I do tend to get bored of the repetition in the stitch . This is great to make someone a quick gift , when time is of the essence.

It actually looks like it has been done on a machine .

A look at the Neck Line


I made this for my Cousin`s Daughter ( Michelle D`ambrosio) She always has the biggest smile when I see her .  These colors will make her  smile look  even brighter :) 
I used a combination of different stitches to give her more warmth around the neck area by using the double crochet ,  and upper arms and chest area using the Shell Stitch,  and then I combined it with the lacy look  using the lover`s knot stitch ( also known as the Solomon stitch ).  And of course A fringe around the bottom .

I love the way it turned out . I of course had to add My signature to it by adding the flowers . You will notice that in almost all my creations  you will find a different flower which I created just to make them unique from anyone else .
