As promised, this is the Ladies version of the hat yesterday.
I used buttons for eyes instead of the amigurumi locked eyes, simply because if you're wearing it, you don't want something to keep poking at you. So, I decided on the button instead.
The ears, I accidentally used the nose pattern, but it came out pretty good. So, maybe give it a try.

Owl hat - part 1

For Xmas, the only gifts I handmade were these owl hats. I had told one of our friends that I had a student asking to learn how to make an owl hat, and the friend mentioned that she attempted it but was unsuccessful due to wrist pains.
Since I got the pattern anyway, I wanted to make something for them. So, this is the men's version of the hat. I know, irony abound, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Pattern is based on Daisy Cottage but I used the guidelines for adult hats to expand that. I found a good reference for sizes here. Lady's version tomorrow!

I saw this on TipJunkie. It's kinda neat to crochet a gift tag for the gifts you'll be giving.

Now, I know I've been on radio silence, but I've been knitting. Promise! Show you the progress hopefully next week... I'm getting close.

Crochet Dream Catcher

I like this dreamcatcher like crochet ornament. Of course, that is very close to a granny square, except you incorporate a mini hoop. Definitely need to try that.

Troll around

Hi I'm not dead, I promise! I am getting over a cold... still, hecking up a lung and trying to finish knitting the back of a sweater that I've been working on quite some time now; say about a year. I took it w/ me to my trip overseas last year and this year I'm not wearing it, so I really need to get a move on.

Meantime, I was just trolling around, and found this. Their captions are just hilarious and they found some pretty obsurd crochet stuff. Go look!
