I can't recall if I have told you guy sabout my hobbies. I love photography, hiking, swimming, getting lost (on foot or on wheels, I really go out and try to find adventure. Rarely do I actually get lost). But I also do beading and crocheting. About to expand that further into Embroidery, sewing and quilting. I was thinking about opening an etsy shop and custom orders, but I think that would take the fun out of it. So for now, I just make stuff for me and my family and for fun. I may sell the for fun stuff from time to time but eh. 

Anyways, this owl hat has been on my too do list for ages and I finally did it to distract myself from a bigger project (an blankey) 

blankets suck. I know haha. i have a mini twin (twin length just not width) that I finally finished and still need to weave all the ends in
i am working on a full twin size for bump that has been going for a few months now.
i honestly would totally buy this minus the owl stuff (not a fan) if it was a solid color and well baby size haha
i like that you stitch tight. My mom does old fashion crochet which is super loose and holey and drives me crazy.my stitches almost look like knit thats how tight they are haha.

what yarn did you use? does it shed alot?
im currently hooked on I love cotton (hobby lobby) its just stupid expensive sorta, 3.99 for 180yds or 2.49/2.99 when it goes on sale (which thankfully is alot)

I have yet to master anything other then blankets and my own made up weird stitch haha

i tried making a tunisian crochet beanie which ended up failing miserably (way to short) and I just never tried again, again blankets got in the way :)

I actually made this for my five month old daughter (and to practice before making one for my best friend's baby because her nursery is done in owls.. I made it 6-12 months, but because I crochet tight (it's kind of a curse) it barely fits my daughter. 

She sure is cute though. ;) 

I just started making other things this year, I only did blankets for the longest time. I have a micket mouse set to work up here soon (booties, diaper cover, hat, blankey and maybe a lovely). I can't find patterns I like so I am going to freehand them. 

I hate hate hate weaving in ends. : I'd love to see a picture of it though. 

I'll have to take some during the week so I can get good outside light :)

im also in the process or making a nursing cover/scarf done in Tunisian, not sure of the stitch, again I tend to make up my own. I'm sure there is a title for it since it is rather basic but yea :)

Thats so adorable!!

I really want to learn the Tunisian stitch, but I am having a hard time finding a good written pictures and I do not do well with videos. I am also trying to learn how to do the c2c and graphgans. If you have any good ones, let me know. ^-^ 

Thank you Peike! 

Here is my baby blankey I made for my daughter. I thought  it was a DC all the way with a simple TC border, but turns out that when I picked up my hook after around 6.5 years of not touching it to start her blankey, I made up my own stitch. lol! 

Currently side project: Can you guess what it is? 

First ever headband, Premi sized. Sitting unused in my top drawer. XD I am thinking of donating it with the stack of hats I am making for the Children's Hospital for Christmas. 

http://www.mooglyblog.com/top-of-the-tunisian-infinity-scarf is the scarf I'm working on. But I mixed in the basic stitch every other line. 

http://www.purlbee.com/2013/04/14/whits-knits-tunisian-crochet-washcloths/ Is how I learned and is the basic stitch I used for Tunisian 

Oh my god that owl hat is adorable.
