If you're Irish, flaunt it! :D

I have to show off my newest project! I'm so excited! I can't wait to wear it to work for St. Patrick's Day! I'm going to be a leprechaun for Halloween this year. Ha ha! The hat pattern is here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukC0Gmi55Cw 
I follow The Crochet Crowd on Facebook, and when he made it, all I could think of is a leprechaun hat! :D


 OH, and I finally have a new phone! My pictures come out much clearer, but I have to figure out why half the time they have a hint of purple. :D

No, it's me!

So I've been bouncing between projects again, and of course the first one I started in this round still isn't done... but I'm working on it.... slowly but surely. :D

The projects I'm posting today I'm really proud of! The first one I'm going to share is a gift that I crocheted for my dad. It's definitely received its fair share of laughter and also caused for some confusion.  Read this carefully- This is a picture of ME wearing my father's gift. I sent that as a message to a good friend of mine with the picture, but she looked at the message too quick and thought the hat looked good on my dad ;)





The beard has been a big hit! I found the pattern here-http://madmim.com/crochet-beard-free-pattern/. I will definitely be making many more of these!
Here is the pattern I found for the hat-http://agirlandheryarnfk.blogspot.com/2010/08/ribbed-winter-hat.html. I crocheted 68 rows. Clearly I have a giant noggin!

The other gift I made is for my boss because she loves Tweety. I'm reaaaaaaaally proud of this one! I think he came out so cute! Took me a while to find a way to make the eyes. I didn't have felt like the pattern called for, and honestly, I'd rather have them crocheted anyways.



This is a leisurearts.com pattern.
