Crochet couch pillow

Howdy!  i had another crochet adventure!

i made a pillow cover.

See, i have boys who sometimes are sick 

and this can be problematic for nearby pillows. Ew.

So...since throw pillows are a little pricey

(and i am forever cheap)

i decided to try and crochet a cover.

i have a few pillows that came with the couch

-but they are a cream color

(read-too light to be around growing boys

because they will not stay cream for very long)

i used catherines wheel stitch

(awesomely explained here)

and made it up as i went along.

i cannot say if i will end up making covers for the other pillows.

i mean, i dont hate it, but i'm just not too sure about it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Crochet hat

So!  I saw this hat on several different blogs/forums

and everyone is trying to figure out how to make it

For a few reasons 

Anthropology no longer sells it...

and I guess it was around $50 when they did
and it's super cute!

Well, here is my try at it.
I have to say-I LOVE IT!

I am not a big floral-girly-girl.

But I have been wearing my new hat!
I have even made it in a few colors :)  
and already given some away as gifts!

I have made it in 2 baby sizes also!

I am working on a pattern and hoping to have it done soon.

thanks for looking!
