Pineapple

A pineapple dishcloth I made a while ago.  Made one for my sister-in-law, sister and cousin's wife too.  Pattern on lionbrand.com but the yarn has been discontinued...

Baby Gifts

So...my cousin, Amy, and her husband, Richard, are expecting.  She's due in December, so I've been busy.  I don't know if they'll be having a boy or a girl (maybe they know and if they do, they haven't shared that bit of info...yet).

Here's a star afghan - pattern on lionbrand.com:

 

And here's a hoodie - size 6 months.  Pattern also on lionbrand.com:

 

And one more - a lacy white christening afghan.  This pattern I found in the Leisure Arts book "Keepsake Baby Afghans" and is called Lacy Treasure:

Update:  It's a girl!

 

Chair Socks!

Amazing little project and just what we needed since putting in the wood laminate flooring.  These chair socks were made with Peaches & Creme cotton yarn and with a size F hook, 4 rows = 1 inch.  I got 4 socks out of one ball of yarn and it looks like I could get at least one, if not two more out of the same ball of yarn.  (Picture and pattern link on my Pinterest Crochet page.  The original pattern calls for crocheting 25 rows but...that would have made the socks too long for our chairs.  I did 16 rows and that was perfect.)  It took me about an hour and a half to make 4 of them, including working in the ends (which I always consider a pain).

These are made with color "Psychedelic" and are on Dan's chair:

These below are on my chair, made in Packer colors (that's not white or off-white - it's really a deeper yellow) so I'm ready for football season!  Well, I've been ready for football season since the last regular season game.  But now my chair is ready too! :-)

Bath Puff

I'm almost finished with this bath puff but...since I'm posting I thought I'd snap a picture and get it on the blog.  This one is made with I Love This Cotton, super soft cotton yarn in banana yellow.  Found pattern on Pinterest.  (Remember, you can check my page and click on crafts to see the pictures and link to the patterns.)

Face Scrubbies

Just three of the several face scrubbies I made last week.  Pinterest again and Peaches & Creme yarn again too!

 

And here are a couple of baskets I made to keep them in:

 

These are made with a double strand of Peaches & Creme cotton yarn.

 

Dish Scrubbies

Here's a couple of dish scrubbies I completed last night.  Pattern found on Pinterest again...  I used Peaches & Creme cotton yarn.

Just an FYI: to find the projects I've included on this blog that I've found on Pinterest, just go to the Pinterest website and enter my name, Brenda Korinek, in the search box.  Then click on my crochet pins.  You'll be able to find the patterns from there.
