Crochted Scarf x 2

A big thank you to Beth for showing me what's up and how to crochet. We had a ball {literally} during our week in D-town making all sorts of fun things. After I got home I was inspired to make something of my own, so I fused a couple of the patterns we'd done together and came up with this. It keeps me warm during these cold, hard California months and I've gotten so many compliments on it, cause it's truly unique.

The big buttons are a must.

Loved it so much, I had to make 2.

Crocheted Hand Warmers

January and February are my least favorite months of the year. I feel like they are so long and cold... especially this year, since I'm staying home with a baby with no vehicle to escape (not from the baby, with the baby). So, in order to keep my sanity, I developed some new skills. If you know how to knit or crochet (or even if you don't, You Tube is a great teacher), you have to visit the Creative Yarn blog. That's where I learned how to make these lovelies. They really do keep my hands warmer, and they dress up a mug of hot chocolate or cider really well!
