Shamrock Gold

I saw this metallic yarn and just could not resist.


I thought I would make a shawl but did not like it after I got started.
So I set it aside and made this hat.
I had to adjust the pattern some but like how it came out.


Then I decided a small light scarf would look good with it,
and found this green one in the closet 
so I crocheted this to go with it.


What goes better with shamrocks than gold?

February Walker Decor

For this month's walker decoration,
I sorted through a number of heart patterns 
and selected this one.


Obviously I made three and attached them to the elastic.
They were described as easy and that they were!
I think they have a nice shape as well.

The tutorial can be found here.

I just substituted some red yarn I had and the appropriate hook.

Gingerbread Girl Hats

I finally found a little time to finish these hats.

It always amazes me how much character comes out in each one,
 when you are making several
that should all be alike!


I was a bit concerned the weather would warm up before I finished.
And in fact it did but dropped 20˚ already today
so I think they will still get to use them.
