My son got a little

jealous with me making so much for his sis, so I had to make him a hat and scarf set to match his favorite jacket…here’s him hamming up the modeling job!

The scarf I will be putting into a pattern collection of quick and easy scarves!

This pouch is being featured in this months Free Form Crochet Club’s Newsletter!

I just love how the yarn played as I moved directions. I really love how ribbon works up with the Tunisian Stitch.

The Maroon or Burgundy color in the flap of the pouch is a polyester ribbon that is usually a pain the you know what to crochet! But it just looks grand worked up like this and didn’t slip around half as much!

 The sage/lavendar beaded is my handspun, and the green/tealish is handspun as well! Mixed together with commercial yarn and ribbon, this really was an interesting experiment.

Quickie In a Pinch Headband

Quickie In a Pinch Headband

Originally uploaded by CMHS yarn & designs (laurie wheeler).

Remember that Tapestry headband I was talking about? Well about two weeks ago when I went to my 20th HS reunion I needed something to keep the hair out of my face and didn’t want to buy a headband. I had yarn, and a hook, and so in the car as hubby drove I hooked up this.

Granted I didn’t finish it off nicely, and I can be a great deal neater than this. But I like the design, and I’ll be writing up this one as another fun pattern.
