More crocheted flowers

Have been using the Eggbird Designs flower pattern to make some cute little crocheted blooms.


 I like using the Caron Soft yarn because it makes smaller flowers, but in some colors all I have is the heavier worsted yarn so the flowers are much bigger than I want.  I've been thinking about buying more Caron yarn, but for now am just going to use what I have.  I plan to make at least 2 flowers in each solid color I have, then either use them for Katelynn or sell them in my Etsy shop -- haven't decided for sure yet.  But really, look at this pattern, can you imagine the nearly endless color combinations?

Crochet scarf

I may have mentioned on here, but I belong to Swap-bot.com (we swap all kinds of stuff with each other).  Anyhow one of the most recent swaps i was part of was a scarf swap.  I made a lovely red & blue scarf for my partner and the lady who had me, made me a scarf using this pattern here
 crochet ruffle-scarf


She made the body of the scarf in a soft bright yellow yarn and the edging color in black. [At least I assume that she used this pattern, as my scarf looks just like the one in the pattern except for the colors.]   Anyhow,  I've decided to make a couple of these in different colors to match some of my favorite shirts.  They're beautiful and keep my neck warm at the same time, and since I'm cold so much of the time, I like anything that keep me warm.  I'll post a picture when I either get one made or remember to take off this yellow and black scarf to take a pic of it.  :)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day!
