The color Utah...

I cast off a new project and it only took one skein of 50 gram yarn!

They are almost identical too!

Aww yea! lol

Sorry about the lighting but it unfortunately is what it is today...

I Love how these socks came out! I did my plain vanilla pattern because I needed a no brainer project just to keep my hands active and have a cute pair of socks in the end.

Here is a close up of one folded. 

Perfect colors for fall i am super excited to be able to wear these when the weather starts cooling off.

 Here is a close up on a blocker. 

I would love to know your thoughts on these! Keep an eye on my YT channel a video for this will be up this week! Thanks for stopping in and spending some time with me today!

Have a great day!

Time to do dishes...

I really dislike doing dishes! 

I don't mind cooking or baking but washing dishes is a dirty job,

 and I'm the one to do it! LOL (A line from an eighties song) ;)

I am really not a fan of the dish drains that sit out on the counter and the commercial towels for the dishes are plain and average.

So I have been making my own for awhile now. I have a blue set that I love and use daily. But I need more for when one is in the wash. So this is what I just finished!

I used 100% cotton and a simple knit pattern. The cotton comes on a large spool and i love this variegated green. It has cream, blue and green and i love how it works up.

this is a project I dawdle on I am eager to start then about half way i putter out. I lose drive but then as it gets closer to the end i speed up and am happy i have a new cloth and happy i am done! Lol

It is a love hate relationship. If i could speed up the process i would enjoy it more. Hahaha

Needless to say it may be just a bit before I cast the next one one. ;) 

I will have a YT video on this later in the week, be sure to stop by and check it out!

Thanks for spending some time with me!

New Project Finished!

I am super happy I have finished another project. 

I made a new pattern as I went along and this is what I came up with! I really am happy to get my yoga mat out from under the couch where i can see it and be reminded to use it more LOL!

I choose pink and black yarn and went to town crocheting!

Here it is folded up actually only in half really.

I thought pink and black were a natural choice considering my mat is pink and I like to match. Here I placed the bag over the mat so you can see it is a full size yoga mat.

Even with the mat in the bag there is plenty of room to add a towel and weights too maybe even your yoga clothes. Mine fit well with a bit of room to spare.

It also has a thick double icord strap that cinches the mat securely like a drawstring. Super easy to open and close and the mat slides in easily no struggling to be had. Just put another on my to do list for my daughter. These are great to gift especially for those people in your life that exercise but have everything.

Thanks for spending some time with me today I appreciate it! Keep an eye on my YT for the video!

A.C. crochet Cowl

Hey guys!

I have my first fall item finished! YAY!! lol

I was looking for a simple but elegant fun accessory for the fall wardrobe and this is what i came up with! My daughter said it reminded her of the video  game Assassins Creed hence the name. haha

here you can see the ribbing i did that runs the back of the cowl it is like an elegant Mohawk so to speak. plus it helps to denote the back side.

You can wear this as a normal cowl around your neck it gives really nice coverage keeping you snug and free of the cooler fall drafts.

Here it is propped on the crown of your head allowing the font part of your hair to be quite visible but still very comfy and provides freedom from those pesky drafts, while still looking stylish.

Here i pulled it forward to close around the face to protect from those nasty drafts and spiraling winds that come in the late fall and early winter. 

Need to cool off because overheating? hotflashes or just normal increase in body temp you can open up the base by the neck and allow a bit of air flow.

I love the versatility of a cowl and the subtle detail in this one is no exception can be worn dressed up or casual. Perfect for any chilly to absolute freezing day!

Here is a profile I love the texture the stitches create looks good from all angles.

And here is what it looks like from the back. I know we all wonder that and sometimes its hard to see that for ourselves when wearing it. I really think this is a great cowl for all occasions.

Perfect for gift giving too!

I will post a YT video for this this week so be sure to stop by my YT channel and check it out!

Thanks for stopping by have a great day!

Til next time!
