Crochet: Wristlet
This little wristlet can be worked up in just an hour or two. The gauge is not critical, so you can use any size yarn and hook you wish. Just be sure to remember that the thicker the yarn and larger the hook you use, the bigger the overall project will be. Larger bags are great for clutches, whereas the smaller ones make great wristlets.
Knitting: Drawstring Bag
Gauge is not important for this little bag, but using thinner yarn and smaller needles will yield a smaller bag. Dice bags tend to be pretty small. The finished bag in worsted weight on size 8 needles is approximately 6.5” x 4.5”.
Knitting: Scarf
This scarf can be made in any weight yarn using any appropriate size needles for the drape you desire. Instructions are provided for 3 different cast on amounts, with additional instructions on how to make the scarf wider if you wish.

Knitting: Beanie, Toque

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This pattern makes a wonderfully warm hat with a lot of texture. It will fit an adult with up to a medium sized head, but may need to have additional repeats to fit a large head.
Crochet: Containers
One evening, I was trying to decide what to make out of some yarn that I just had a small amount. My mind flashed to porcelain bowls with pierced sections, and that inspired this design.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This pattern is written to accommodate any yarn. The hat is wonderfully stretchy, and when unstretched will fit a fairly small head about 16”. Fully stretched, the hat will fit up to a 23” head, but still be comfortable.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I created this hat when I realized my niece was bringing her fiance home for Christmas. It was Christmas Eve, and we hadn’t gotten him anything. It took me just around an hour to make this hat for him.
Crochet: Hanging Ornament
