Three more ornament toppers crocheted with thread from a leaflet. I’ve also made the snowman. I think that elf’s a little demented looking.

Winnie the Pooh
Pooh was crocheted from the Pooh Collection leaflet. The instructions kept saying to stuff firmly. I think I may have overstuffed him. I could barely get his shirt on for one thing. He came out pretty good though. You start this pattern by making the arms and legs separately and stuffing them. Then as you’re… Read more »
Cape/Shawl for Rosemary
This is a Christmas present for my step-mother, Rosemary. It was crocheted from Moda Dea Dream in the Pecan color from the Quick & Easy Ponchos leaflet. It’s the second photo on that page. Their model was made with Moda Dea Zing but I thought the Dream yarn would suit my step-mother better. The pattern… Read more »
1903 Grand Ball Gown – done!
This was made from the 1903 Grand Ball Gown kit from Paradise Dolls. (click on the picture for a full sized photo) The hair was a nightmare, as I knew it would be. In the end I covered up the mess with a lot of feathers. Here she is from the front. Her best view… Read more »
Afghan for Lisa
Lisa selected the pattern for this very lacy afghan. It’s made from Caron’s Simply Soft yarn so it’s beautifully soft and light. The funny part about this afghan is that the border is about half the total afghan. When I finished the body of the afghan, I thought I was just about done and was… Read more »
1903 Grand Ball Gown – second update
Here’s Lady Paradise modelling the underskirt. I’m not sure it ended up exactly the right shape. It’s made out of a million strips of ribbon. Kind of crazy. I think a pattern and some fabric might have been a better way to go. Their sewing instructions aren’t that clear and I ran out of ribbon… Read more »
Crochet hook case
The link to this Crochet hook case pattern was posted on RCTY and since I’ve been in thread and sequin hell for weeks now, working on my doll dress, I decided to make this for my November 6 x 6 partner. It worked up really quickly but I ran out of yarn at the very… Read more »
1903 Grand Ball Gown – in progress
1903 Grand Ball Gown from Paradise Dolls. I got this kit and immediately created a disaster by turning the skein of purple rayon thread into a hopelessly tangled mass which I then attacked with a pair of scissors in a temper fit, resulting in little pieces of purple rayon thread all over the living room… Read more »
More Headwear for the Family Hats
Here’s a cute hat for a little boy, in shades of blue and green. Bright and fun! Wish I were better at making pom poms. I can never get them completely round. But then I try to remember that no one besides me is staring at it so hard. This is a hood with a… Read more »
Cornflower bookmark
Made from Angela’s Cornflower Bookmark pattern for my October 6 x 6 square exchange partner and as practice for thread crochet. Working up to the big thread crochet project! This is the second of these I made but I didn’t take a picture of the last one, plus I starched this one which I think… Read more »
