Can we put our heads together?

Found this poncho and just gotta pick your brains out there. Do you think we could figure out how to make it ourselves out of crochet cotton #10? I think maybe it would look good using double strands. So if anyone has a pattern for something like this put in a comment please.

This is too AMAZING not to share!

The Very First fully-customizable crochet pattern generator is amazing. There are lots more pictures of patterns at her site so check it out. She is in the process of making a book of patterns and a CD of the generator to use with them. You can be sure that when it is ready I will be posting it!(You can be sure she will too, so be sure to bookmark her site).Hey, wouldn't this tank look great under a shrug made from the same yarn? This time of year (at least for alot of us) it is too cold for a tank and I know I am putting it in my "Work in Mind" folder!

Humor Matters tm Christmas

From Kindred Jester Patty

'Twas the Net before Christmas Version 1.1
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the nets Not a mousie was stirring, not even the pets.The floppies were stacked by the modem with care. In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The files were nestled all snug in a folder. The screen saver turned on, the weather was colder. And leaving the keyboard along with my mouse I turned from the screen to the rest of the house. When up from the drive there arose such a clatter I turned to the screen to see what was the matter. Away to the mouse I flew like a flash, Zoomed open a window in fear of a crash...The glow from the screen on the keyboard below Gave an electronic luster to all my macros. When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a little sleigh icon with eight tiny reindeer And a tiny disk driver so SCSI and quick I knew in a nano it must be Saint Nick. More rapid than trackballs his cursors they came, He whistled and shouted and faxed them by name."Now Flasher! Now Dasher! Now Raster and Bixel! On Phosphor! On Photon! On Baudrate and Pixel! To the top of the stack. To the top of the heap." Then each little reindeer made a soft beep. As data that before the wild electrons fly, When they meet with a node, mount to the drive, So up to the screentop the cursors they flew With a sleigh full of disks and databits, too. And then in a twinkling I heard the high whine Of a modem connecting at a baud rate so fine. As I gazed at the screen with a puzzling frown St. Nicholas logged on though I thought I was down. He was dressed all in bytes from header to footer And the words on the screen said "Don't you reboot 'er." A bundle of bits he had flung on his back And he looked like a programmer starting his hack. His eyes how they glazed, his hair was so scary, His cola was jolt, not flavored with cherry.His droll little mouth was drawn up like a GIF And the pixels of his beard sure gave me a lift. The stump of a routine he held tight in his code And I knew he had made it past the last node. He spoke not a word but looked right at me And I saw in a flash his file was .SEA. He self-decompressed and I watched him unfold, Into a jolly old elf, a sight to behold. And the whispering sound of my hard drive's head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He went straight to his work without saying a word And filled all the folders of this happy nerd. And 'tis the whole truth, as the story is told, That giving a nod up the window he scrolled, He sprang to the serial port as if truly on fire And away they all flew down the thin copper wire. But I heard him exclaim as he scrolled out of sight "Happy Christmas to All, and to all a good night."

My First Beret

Well, this was supposed to be a stocking-type cap! As you can

see it came out as a beret! Kind of a plus for me, since I get to keep it!

Tee-hee. Looks pretty good I think. Made it from Red Heart Symphony medium worsted weight (it has fuzzy's) very, very soft. Yum. The only problem is that I had to start with another pattern to try to make my son a hat for Christmas, argh!

Created my first pattern!

This is a button front shawl I made for my
Mother for Christmas. Below is the pattern.
I used Caron's Simply Soft yarn and a G hook.
The dimensions are 48"x17".
EASY

Button Front Shawl

Begin at side edge, ch 188

Row 1: (RS) Dc in 4th ch from hook and in each ch across-185 sts, ch4, turn.

Row 2: Sk 1st st, *dc in next 6 sts, ch2, sk next st, dc in next 6 sts, ch1, sk next st: repeat from * and end dc in last st, ch4, turn.

Row 3: Repeat row 2 until piece measures 17". Finish off & weave in ends. Drape evenly across shoulders and mark with safety pins to place 3 buttons in front. Buttons go on left side, line them up along edge to match the holes in pattern (see detail below):

You can also refer to picture of finished

shawl. I used 3 buttons to keep the neck

warm, if desired you could make this an

off the shoulder shawl and simply use less

buttons. This is a versatile pattern insomuch

as it can be made shorter or longer. If you

make this let me know. You are welcome to

link to this pattern, but please do not copy

to your website.

My favorite pattern so far




















This Hearts in a Row Scarf is so much
fun to make. It is one of Jessi's patterns
at her Blog-Crochetaddictspatterns.
I just LOVE this scarf pattern,
cuz it can be worked up in an
afternoon! I make them up in between
working on a bigger project I have going
for a nice break. Now-back to my work!
Christmas is getting closer and closer.
