Sorry to be so absent lately. I have started a new job and it is taking lots of brain power to learn it, so when I get home I don't really want to be on the computer at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been trying to get a little crochet in as well. It is nice and realxing. You should try this project. Very Easy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a toque as a present. :) I saw <a href="http://www.allaboutami.com/post/68336202366/ribbedpompombeanie" target="_blank">Stephanie make a Ribbed pompom beanie</a> and remembered that I had made a few of these in the past. I decided for my Christmas exchange with my friends I would make one as a present. I made it in white:</div>

Remember my <a href="http://hookedonyarncake.blogspot.ca/2013/09/card-making-kit.html" target="_blank">earlier post</a> about a card I made for the wedding I attended in late September? Well that card was a part of a challenge called the <a href="http://pjchallenge.blogspot.ca/2013/11/part-two-of-november-challenge.html" target="_blank">November Challenge</a> put on by <a href="http://pjchallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">PJ Challenge</a>. A way to inspire paper crafters to keep motivated to make projects. I am not a true paper crafter. I just like do a little here and there. <br />
Sherry and I decided to tackle this challenge together. She helped with the pieces I needed as a <a href="http://papertician.blogspot.ca/2013/09/collaboration-kit.html" target="_blank">collaborative kit</a> for the card... since I don't have a Cricut machine. So my part was to make a card for the wedding. Then Sherry would use the leftovers and make other projects to complete the challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the inspiration for the card. The invitation. (Edited to protect the newlywed's privacy)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Pop-up dots were very important part of this card construction.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The couple has a cute dog. So I wanted to use a dog in the card to make it more personal. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I attached a small piece of white card stock on the back to give the dog some eyes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Conte was the chalk of choice. I actually had a few leftover pieces of it from high school. It was nice to look at a picture of the couple's dog and add some white to make him similar to their dog.</div>

Snuggles was the first amigurumi that I started. I assumed correctly that he wouldn't be too difficult to try. I put him aside and moved onto the mobile animals. I have been working on him here and there and now he is<br />
<a name='more'></a> almost complete.<br />
Snuggles turned out too big for the mobile; also, the mobile recipient decided for more traditional colours of black and white for the penguin in the mobile. More about that penguin later...<br />

I am going to a wedding on September 28, 2013 (Congratulations to C & J!). Sherry D of <a href="http://papertician.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Papertician</a> likes to make homemade cards... So I asked her if she could cut a few pieces (using the circuit machine) for me to make my own card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The "kit" was born. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOc8-NNVLJAVokl7iZCPeGDBC-QFFLTAiXtcv8FfX-RDz7w4o7TUaFPWg8dzB1RYESv2OR0OLdPcfbNi8T0lrjkh-5rqEAs23Qf9lTGU8eHc0vsgawy1YpWNoPQjX4MGOupQiJIq4f1J5r/s1600/Card+Kit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOc8-NNVLJAVokl7iZCPeGDBC-QFFLTAiXtcv8FfX-RDz7w4o7TUaFPWg8dzB1RYESv2OR0OLdPcfbNi8T0lrjkh-5rqEAs23Qf9lTGU8eHc0vsgawy1YpWNoPQjX4MGOupQiJIq4f1J5r/s1600/Card+Kit.jpg" height="400" unselectable="on" width="335" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She presented me with a bunch of cut-outs, some already stamped with a wood grain and in a few different colours. This happen to be a good time to make a kit since the blog <a href="http://pjchallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">PJ Challenge</a> was having a challenge, "<a href="http://pjchallenge.blogspot.ca/2013/09/what-is-to-come-for-november.html" target="_blank">What is to come for November</a>" (deadline is September 30), to showcase the ability to make a kit and use the supplies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Challenge accepted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sherry gave me the above supplies, I will add some of my own supplies and put the card together then we will photograph.</div>

My safety eyes arrived! My safety eyes arrived! Yay!</div>

I ordered 25 pairs of 9 mm black eyes, 25 pairs of 6 mm black eyes and 10 pair of coloured cat eyes. I ordered from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/?ref=si_home" target="_blank">Etsy</a> at a shop called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/6060" target="_blank">6060</a> came from Maryland from a lady affectionately known as "the eye lady".

This is the first amigurumi I have started for the mobile (started Sept 16). I have made the general shape and lightly stuffed it but I am waiting for my shipment of small safety eyes to close the frog body up. </div>

If you have been reading my blog for a little while you will know that I do get distracted from my projects pretty easily. : ) My <a href="http://hookedonyarncake.blogspot.ca/2013/08/diamond-eyelet-wrap-sweater.html" target="_blank">Eyelet sweater</a> has been put on hold for a really cute project...<br />
<br />
I have been challenged to make a mobile out of amigurumi animals for a friend that is due in December. (If you want to learn more about amigurumi check out <a href="http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">this site</a>.) I have been following <a href="http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/aboutme" target="_blank">Stephanie's</a> amigurumi work for some time now but never attempted it.<br />
<br />
I have started making an <a href="http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/post/19587715573/snugglesthepenguinpattern" target="_blank">aqua penguin</a> and a <a href="http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/post/16498866712/dragonpattern" target="_blank">light green dragon</a> to see how they go. I bought a size 2 mm hook with a handle on it. I would highly recommend getting one with a handle. Makes holding such a small hook much easier!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I am so excited to get started on this project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The patterns I will be following are from the Lion Brand website (pattern numbers are below). However, I have decided not to use the yarn or hook size mentioned in these patterns. Instead I am using a size 2 mm hook and Patons Grace yarns. This should make them turn out mobile sized instead of small toy sized (I hope). <br />

Have you made something with a diamond eyelet pattern? It may not be a wrap... it could be a blanket or a lined skirt. I am on my second ball of yarn. I really hope it fits when I am done.</div>

Too bad things like jobs and eating get in the way of crocheting.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was gifted a pattern for a lovely wrap quite a while ago. I have not made a wrap before but I do love the detail of the diamond eyelets... they are so special. This pattern is really easy to follow once you have gotten thorough it a few times (Rows 2-7 are repeated a lot!). The yarn used is </span><a href="http://www.patonsyarns.com/product.php?LGC=canadiananew" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Patons Canadiana</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> in <span style="background-color: white; color: #d9d2e9;"><strong>Violet Mist</strong></span>. I got the yarn a while ago and was saving it for a special project. It has a small amount of sheen to it.</span><br />

Wow! A "Blog Directory" for crochet and amigurumi what a great idea. Stephanie of <a href="http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">All About Ami</a> decided to put together a directory of fellow crocheters. It is really nice to see so many people in the world coming together in a common craft. I am very excited to be listed in the directory. :) Check it out <a href="http://allaboutami.tumblr.com/post/57673027142/amiblogdirectory" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I better get making some stuff so people have something to read here on my blog... do the rest of you feel a summer slow down? I find it more appealing to play with yarn in the winter. I guess with the nice weather of the summer here in Ottawa I just want to be outside. I suppose also settling into our new house has taken a good portion of my time.<br />

Saturday morning I woke up nice and early. I was up and expecting company at 10... 4 hours away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got my phone and started to get caught up on my blog reading. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got to this <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=1144265867&group=0&frame_type=b&blog=2258730&link=aHR0cDovL2FsbGFib3V0YW1pLnR1bWJsci5jb20vcG9zdC81MjgyNzQ1OTg1Mg&frame=1&click=0&user=0" target="_blank">blog</a> and had to get out of bed and make a bib. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find the pattern <a href="http://knitlessknitter.blogspot.ca/2012/03/free-pattern-bib.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I used a pastel multi-coloured yarn and used a rose pink for the boarder. It was very easy to make. I made it for a sweet new baby (two months old) that came to visit on Saturday. Now having company coming, I had some work to do to get ready... so I forgot to take a picture of the bib. Not to worry I will get another one done really soon. </div>

Sorry I have been quiet for a little while. Getting into a normal routine in a whole new house has proved challenging.<br />
I had the pleasure of meeting the little babies that my hats have been for. (My friend's nephews). They are such adorable little boys. This hat is so sweet. <br />
I can't wait to see it on new baby H.<br />

A staple of my gift-giving are dish cloths. I have found a really great pattern that I enjoy making for a thick dishcloth that has lots of grooves so it can pick up lots of stuff while wiping counters or cleaning the dishes. They are quick and easy to whip up. <a name='more'></a>I always use 100% cotton to make these. I have made a whole bunch of them to add to a present or wrap up three together for a present.<br /></div>

The below picture was an earlier dish cloth that I tried. I really liked the little bobbles but the construction did not make a very stretchy dishcloth. Also using light colours made it look tired and dirty after a few uses. </div>
