I crocheted these cute Sock Monkey hats for my niece and nephew. While visiting in Ohio a friend helped Me start these little cuties. She shared the pattern she used over at Repeat Crafter Me. The hats were a simple project for my beginner crochet skills.
Speaking of beginner crochet. While in Pittsburgh, Mom and I taught my younger sister to crochet. Here is her first wash cloth. TA-DA! She did great considering she is does not have any previous yarn working skills. I think she was inspired to learn after a trip to the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh with her youngest. The day she was there with him they were doing a project with yarn. The instructor asked her son to add a piece of yarn to the project. When the instructor started to explain yarn he said, "Yea, I know. My whole family knits." He was so proud of us. Aren't 7 year old great!
I also crocheted several wash cloths. Here is a small sample. Many were left with the people we stayed with on our trip as a smallish. Thank You for having us in over the holidays. These are the few I remembered to take pictures. The two circle wash cloths Kitchen Lovelies are from Fiber Flux.
I also made two granny square wash cloths using a combination of several different patterns.
While staying with friends in Michigan I worked up this cute little hot cocoa ornament. I found this pattern over at I'm Frayed Knot. It is sooooo Cute! This was the home of the friend who started me on my knitting journey. While there we learned that we were both picking up crochet. How Crazy it that! We hadn't even talked about it. She made a hot cocoa ornament also which I brought home and promptly hung on my tree to enjoy.
