Shawl for my friend!

So a friend of mine moved from the Northwestern part of Iowa to Southern California a few years ago. I am making this shawl for her to show her that I still think of her and hope that she will remember this ole Corn State when ever she sees this item...

I am using Heartland by Lion Brand in the color Grand Canyon, hopefully this color will be able to go with almost any outfit she wears. It has a lovely mix of beige and copper tones.

I am using a patternt called Haiku Crochet Shawl By Rebecca Velasquez you can buy her lovely pattern at raverly ravelry/haiku-crochet-shawl or right from the company she designed it for called quince and co quinceandco.com/haiku I have had so much fun making this for her. Hope she likes it!

Until Next Time!

Letters for William

Next month is my baby's birthday. Can't believe he will be turning 1 in a matter of weeks! I never had a party when my oldest turned 1 and I wish that I had so I am making up for it now. So I am going all out! The theme is Mickey Mouse. Instead of having a traditional "Happy Birthday" banner I am going to make one using the following charts.   I however don't care for the gap between the black and red, so I will be filling in the blank row with another red. You can find many more Mickey inspired letters at this link  "Mickey Letters"   I will be posting more photos of the big party as I complete them. Until Next Time!

Hexagon Motif Pattern

Hexagon Motif Pattern: I know there are so many different patterns and tutorials floating around already for a basic hexagon pattern but this is mine. Like any other crochet pattern out there, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do to it! Here is my personal preference on it: Round 1: Start by making a magic circle, (you don't have to start your motif like this, but this is my personal preference when starting a "in the round" project) chain 1 to secure magic circle ends, single crochet, chain  4(counts as a double crochet and a chain 2 gap), *double crochet twice, chain 2* repeat from * to * 4 more times, double once more.  (You will have 6 clusters of two double crochets and chain gaps)  To end the round, single crochet into top of first double crochet (Second chain of first 4 chains) You can end rounds anyway you want, again this is just my personal preference! Round 2: Chain 2 [always counts as Doubl...
