Completed Projects I’ve made in March, posted on the last day of March...

1 - Dinosaur from Mary Maxim - Free Pattern - done in Red Heart Super Saver

2 - Face Masks for my brother - he’s an LPN at a doctor’s office and asked me if I could make him a face mask or two with fabric ties.  I’ll probably make him some more just to be on the safe side.  I didn’t really follow a tutorial, or pattern, mostly because I can’t print stuff out with my printer currently being crappy, but he told me he wanted it wider and a little longer so I took one my dad had and just went from there to make them for him.

3 - Polka Dot Tote Bag - used a tutorial from Treasurie, but I turned it into a bag instead.

4 - Overnight bag - half heartedly followed this tutorial from jsdaily...it’s not the greatest thing I’ve made, but if I give to a soon to be 10 year old, I think she might like it...

5 - Basic knit hat using red heart super save in aran fleck to use what I had left of it up.

Finished-Off Friday: Complete Projects

Hats 1,2,4,5,7,& 8 are all the same hat pattern in different yarns.

Hat 3 - Schwartz Hat (from A Christmas Story), I looked at numerous screencaps and determined how many rows for each stripe...and it has a pom-pom. 

Hat 6 - Santa Hat - started with the basic hat pattern I used for the other hats, but knitted four to five rows between each decrease instead of knitting a row between them.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[m7storytellercrochet]

A little bear that I crocheted for my dad today, he’s a veteran, so he got what I’m calling a ‘veteran’ bear.  I made it using Sharon Ojala’s pattern (this isn’t actually it, but it links to the bear pattern itself from it as well)

Used 4.25/G crochet hook, red heart super saver in camo and black, shiny brown buttons for the eyes.

Project Bags for October 2018:

No pattern, just look a bag that I had (the bag my sheets came in, and model most of these after it, as it’s the shape I prefer).  Most are not lined, all are not interface, but since they’re for me, I’m okay with that.
