Finally knitted a pair of socks!!

I have been trying to knit socks for some time now.  It never seems to fail that they don't turn out right.  I have finally done it...so far :)   I found that knitting on a circular needle the 2 at a time toe-up knitting was the easiest.  Plus I am working on them both at the same time.  This way I don't finish one and then take forever to do the other.  Here is what I have done so far.

I am finishing up the ribbing on the top part and then I'm done :)  Up next my daughter wants a pair LOL

Baby booties

Kids Earwrap

I crocheted this earwrap for Lexi this weekend.  It goes around her head and buttons in the back.  I was going to crochet a flower but she had one with a pin she wanted to use which turned out cute.  It only took about an hour to make which was nice :) 

Crochet Cradle Purse

I found this pattern online and loved it.  The pictures aren't great but you get the idea.  It is a bag and when you flip the top half down it turns into a baby cradle.  My 4yr old daughter loves it!

Beer Can fishing hat

While looking for hat patterns I came across a Beer Can hat that was started in the 70's.  I thought it would be cute to make and see how it turned out. It was more as a joke to make my husband wear it when we go fishing in Wisconsin in May.  The finshed product was so silly that you can't help but want to wear one while drinking beer and fishing :)

I used the taller Keystone cans on the left and regualr sized cans were used on the right.  (my sister did that one).

Sock Monkey Hat

I made my son pose below with the hat and of course like a regular 6yr old boy he didn't want too.  This was the best photo he would give me LOL. 

I made this sock monkey hat for my cousin's little boy.  I was actually shocked that it eneded up looking like the real sock monkey :)

Hello Kitty Hat

I found this site that hat pretty easy patterns for crocheted hats.  I thought I would give it a whirl and see what happened.  Hello Kitty was my first try and actually turned out ok.  My daughter just loved it of course since it was Hello Kitty but she also loved that Mommy made her hat.
