Taming the Butterfly

I worked these up over a couple of days. Hopefully I have worked out all the kinks! These are made to fit about a medium womans size hand. Wrist size about 7 inches with a little room for stretching.

I used a G hook and TLC Essentials in medium worsted for the varigated blue version, the lighter set is two strands of baby yarn held together.

Seirras Sassy Scotch AKA Lyric

We had to take Levi back to his previous owner.. He has an old racing injury and was lame. So we hunted for a new horse! The night we took Levi home we decided on a chance to stop at a place that Judy knows really well and sells horses. She has bought two from him in the past. So showing up unannounced they have no chance of masking anthing that the horse might have. We were in luck. He had a mare that had just come back from a summer camp and was ready for a new home. Meet Seirras Sassy Scotch. She is a registered Quarter Horse with excellent blood lines. Only 8 years old and ready for just about anything. Needless to say I took her home. The guy also said she was in the pasture with his stallion (awesome horse by the way) and might possibly have been bred. Yay, bonus! She is a great little ride, but a bit confused by having a ton of kids pulling on her mouth all summer, but I will get her out of that soon. She just needs a firm hand. I'm so very excited!!!

Update, Finally named her my own name. We are going to call her Lyric

Diamond Granny Bag

I made this bag almost a year ago, but thought I would share this one too. It's another granny square bag, similar to the Get Your Granny On. Gauge is not important, I think I probably used an H hook or an I hook. You can find granny square patterns all over the net, in many different versions, this is just the original granny square.
This is just a rough explanation of what I did. Hopefully the picture will help you along a little.

I made 4 squares doing 8 rounds each. This is just a matter of preference, make larger or smaller by adjusting your rounds to what you like. I used two for the bottom standing on a corner and attach by either whip stitch or if you prefer single crochet to hold together. Start from one corner down one side and up the second. Then take another square for either side of bag and attach by floding in half by matching two corners together and fitting down the sides of the two bottom squares on each side. For a strap I just made a chain for whatever length, then hdc around adding a few stitches to the corners to make them rounded and then hdc along the back side of chain, and then sc around for round 2. I made mine long enough to be able to go from one shoulder and hang accross my opposite side. Being sure to remember that if you don't line the strap it will have to give to it and stretch some. I attached mine to the corner of the side squares. I did make a lining for this to keep all the little things in place. Please message me if you have any questions. I am just remembering this from the bag I gave away.
