My Tutorial Videos

Here is one of my tutorial videos on YouTube.
This is the Crocheted Alternate Stitch.
I think doing tutorials on videos are great for the beginners because you can stop and "rewind" the video at any time and rewatch it as many times as you like. Click on the video to watch it and come by my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/Texasyarnlover

Cast Off Crew

So I finally decided to record a short video to participate in sweetpaganrose's Cast Off Crew. I was really nervous and excited at the same time. So here it is hope you like it I will try to post all the links for the different patterns I made later on today. Till then Happy Crocheting!

Hello Kitty

Well as promised here are the Hello Kitty hats that I crocheted. I made them each a different color. I really liked how they turned out. I am currently working on several orderes at a time. One is two ponchos in black and I will post a picture of a similar poncho I made for the same customer. For the poncho I didn't follow a pattern just really simple double crochet throughout. I also added the pompoms to this one but the next two I make I will do one without anything and the other with fringe. If anyone is interested in the pattern let me know and I will try to work on it and post it up. If you like to know how to make the Hello Kitty hat just follow this link. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Bear Beanie and Pilgrims Hat

I have been very busy these past few weeks and  I have had some orders I have been crocheting some hats. I would like to show you my bear hat that I made. It actually turned out really nice.  I also am doing a hello kitty and will post a pick of that later.

My bear hat is actually comprised of two tutorials that are on you tube. I will post the link at the bottom of this post. The eyes I added on

I also made some pilgrim hat belts with buckles. They came out OK but I have to perfect my pattern. I didn't find any patterns online, so I just went off what I thought would work and they came out looking just fine. I made a total of seven for my church Thanksgiving Appreciation Dinner in a few weeks.

Halloween Close at Hand

It's almost the end of October and I have yet to do anything Halloween. I did go out and buy some yard stakes with Halloween images on them. I am also crocheting a spiderweb in white. I have it sitting on my ironing board so that it can stiffen with the cornstarch spray I've had sitting on my shelf forever. Anyway the reason for the spider web is that this year is our first ever Trunk or Treat at our church and I am signed up to give out candy. So I thought that a spider web would be a good idea. I am thinking of  placing it on one of my doors to my suburban. I'll try to post another pic of the whole setup. If you would like to know how to crochet this spider web just follow the link here.

First Blog Finally

Hello everyone. I always dreaded starting a blog because I just was to busy or something or other. But I finally decided I had to make time for what interest me and to let the world, or whoever was interested know what I'm up to. My goal would be to post every week usually on Friday. So as it is Friday today I think I will post.
