Sock Monkey Hat

                  I don't usually crochet but a friend of mine is having a baby and so wanted this hat.


The pattern is by Shelley Tudor and I bought it on line at




If I every made another I'd change the mouth (maybe I did it wrong), but it looks scary.
I'll call him Mean Monkey.

Homemade girls Tinkerbell dress


As with the snow white dress, I started with Simplicity Pattern 2377.








I bought these beautiful fairy wings off Etsy.com.  They are separate from the dress and have elastic attached to slip on each arm.  (They twinkle too with a small battery.)



I had to design the petals myself, not part of the pattern.



My little granddaughter as Tinkerbell.

Bulky Mobius Cowl

I made this infinity cowl using this amazing technique, mobius knitting.  I taught myself from the youtube video called by Cat Bordhi Intro to Moebius Knitting

I bought this Bulky yarn from knitpicks called "Biggo" in the color Dove Heather
                http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Biggo_Yarn__D5420217.html


 and used the free pattern from Knit-O-Matic
                 http://www.knitomatic.com/patterns.htm







This is a very quick project once you know the technique and you can make this in an hour or two.
