Starry Night

Well, that is embarrassing! My blog turned 1 and I have been so busy I did not even post about it. If you dd not know I was not consistent you do now!  Moving right along: HAPPY BIRTHDAY THAT YARN GIRL!

Quickly I want to say thank you to the readers of this blog.  I know it is not the most interesting blog on the web, but I would like to think I am contributing on a small level.  A bigger thanks to those of you who have ordered from That Yarn Girl.  It has helped me stretch my mind and skill!

Let me share something I have learned over the last year-when people find out your crochet they automatically assume you knit.  I have nothing against knitting, but I have absolutely no knitting capabilities whatsoever.  With that comes people assuming you can create the same kind of project, and for the most part I can.


Here is a great example: One of my coworkers was pregnant and had found a cute hat she wanted to use in newborn pics.  She had checked around with her family and friends and found no one who would be able to duplicate the hat.  I did not have the opportunity to attend her baby shower, so I left her gift on her desk.  It was a crocheted sleeper.  She loved it and sent me a picture of the hat she wanted and asked if I would be able to create it.  I looked at the hat and immediately notice it was knitted.  I told her I would do my best and she could decide if she wanted to keep the final product.  Well as you can plainly see, she kept the final product, and used it!  My new model tonight is Ethan.  Thank you, Ethan!!

Needless to say, sometimes I do have the ability to duplicate a knitted item :)

Boy's Vest

As promised for those of you who fallow me on Facebook; tonight's project! For those of you who have small children you know they tend to get cold quickly. My son is no exception. As this winter approached, I was obsessively looking for a crocheted sweater vest pattern.

I check Google first because it is usually the first place I look for these things. I did find a pattern and it is great-for older kids. I worked one of the vests up and found it will fit Landon in about two years. So now I was back at square one. The next place I looked was ravelry.com.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Ravelry a quick explanation. Ravelry is a site for those who crochet or knit or both. You can find forums, patterns, and more! It has a great pattern library and a good portion of the library is free. Bonus!

So I was searching in Ravelry and found a Varsity sweater for kids. I used that pattern and left of the sleeves. It turned out perfect! My super cute model is my son Landon.

Getting to Know You!

Andrew

Today's post is a derailment from the norm here at That Yarn Girl.  Today I want to talk to you about my wonderful husband, Andrew.  About 10 months ago, he lost his job.  He has been working tirelessly since then to start his own business.  For those of you who are currently running your own business, or trying to, you know how hard the start up can be.  Another roadblock you may be very familiar with is funding.  Funding is difficult at best to come up with for starting a business.  Luckily my husband is an internet hound and found a wonderful little site called Kickstarter.com.  Andrew, being the tech savvy guy that he is started his own project on Kickstarter and he is now in the process of fund raising for his business.

A man in uniform, am I right ladies?

Let me explain what he wants to do.  Andrew was lucky enough to serve two years in Thailand as a volunteer for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and while he was there he developed a great love for the country and the people.  Upon returning to the States, he enlisted in the Utah National Guard in August 2001.  Only one short month later 9/11/01 happened and his world changed.  Andrew was deployed to Iraq in 2003. He served his country for six years in the National Guard and two years in the Inactive Ready Reserve.  Besides a deployment, Andrew had the opportunity to return to Thailand a couple of times with the military, which only solidified his love of the country, culture, and people.  With his service in the military, Andrew was able to attend Utah State University and graduate with his Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design.

What did all of that explanation have to do with Andrew's current endeavor of starting a business?  Simply this: Andrew is working to import home decor goods from Thailand.  In doing that he is working to create his own business, yes, but he is also working to improve the lives of the people he loves in Thailand.  Most of the business and factories he works with in Thailand are not wealthy folks running a business for pleasure.  For the most part the factories are run by exceptionally poor people who are trying to earn a living.  Some of the goods Andrew is hoping to import are hand made by the local Thai people.  I realize the big push right now is to have everything "Made in America," and I agree.  There is something that always enters my mind when I think of that, every person on this earth is a human being and with that comes the right to live comfortably.  I am not saying everyone in the world needs to become filthy rich, I am saying we have the ability to make someone else's life better.

Now for the good part!  You have taken the time to read this blog post, so please take the time to check out Andrew's Kickstarter project.  You can find it by clicking here.  If you have questions about what Kickstarter is or how it works, please check out Andrew's blog www.blueorchidimports.blogspot.com.

Thank you for your time and stay tuned for a wonderful little newborn project.  You will love it!

Little Monster

Fall is hat season for That Yarn Girl! For my loyal readers, do you remember the post about cute little Q?  He needed a "fuzzy" blanket because he had outgrown the one he already had.  Well, Q is back.  His awesome mom is doing something hat related for Christmas and needed four hats for Christmas.  Trust me, you will have an opportunity to see the hats for all four kids, but tonight is about Q and his monster hat.  So I started looking around for inspiration.  Here is the great thing about crocheting in this day and age: the internet!  Hooray for Google!  I have had so much luck finding almost any pattern I need.  So, thank you to those of you who have created patterns for almost everything.  I am working my way into pattern creation, but it is a slow move.  Stay tuned for a great hat pattern I have created.

For those of you who are interested in the pattern, you can find it here.  You will notice I changed it up, but only a little.

Monster Hat

Do you smell that?

Utah State!

As fall makes an appearance around our house, something happens to my husband. When we were first married, I was worried because I didn't smell what he did. Now I know what's coming and I am much less worried. This strange phenomena is particularly heightened around high schools. Andrew will turn to me sniffing the air and saying, "Do you smell that? It smells like football!"

When we married I was not an avid football fan. To be frank I didn't understand the game at all. After running offenses in the backyard, I have a basic knowledge and can actually follow the game now.

What does all this have to do with my blog, well I will tell you! I have tried out a new pattern from Playing Hooky designs and discovered it is perfect for football season. For two reasons, one it is a very warm hat and two the color scheme possibilities are perfect for showing team pride on game day!

Click here for a link to the pattern.

White Elephant

Oh, you are going to love this! One of the awesome ladies in my neighborhood asked me to make these hats for her as a family white elephant gift. Let me know what you think!

The Boy's Vest

Tonight's project comes to you from my little guy.  I have been on this kick lately of making baby girl clothes and realized I have not made many projects for boys, weird.  The truth is most patterns out there are cute for girls and kind of okay for boys. But I will work to improve that.  So here it is: the boy's sweater vest! 

As usual this is not my pattern, but if you would like it you can click here.  For those of you who crochet let me say the pattern says the small size is 2T-4T.  It is definitely more 4T.  It is huge on my son and he is roughly the size of a tank.

I do plan on making this project again with a few tweeks and hopefully I will achieve the right size fore my guy.  Enjoy!

Owls!

Pink Toddler

Yellow 6-12 Month

Tonight's project comes to you courtesy of my sweet neighbor.  She asked if I could make owl hats for her girls.  Of course I said yes.

No Black Center in the Eyes

 She sent me a picture of the hats she wanted and I lucked out and found the blog attached to the pictures.  On that great blog was the pattern! Yes!  Love that.  Without further ado - here is the link to the pattern.  The blog author asked for credit to be given to her for that pattern, and I am more than happy to do so.  For those of you who crochet out there, this is a quick project.  The best part?  They turn out super cute!  I did stray from the pattern a bit to create a larger size for a toddler, but I used the same premise presented in the pattern on the blog.  The major change is I did not use buttons for the eye centers.  I am not opposed to using them, I just didn't happen to have any at the house when I finished these.  The pink and yellow ones have black crocheted centers.

Christmas is coming!

As crazy as it is to think about Christmas, the truth is this: it is rapidly approaching.  You know there is a home decor item, an afghan, baby item, clothing. or just something new you want.  There is also that hard to shop for person on your list.  I may be able to help you with that also!  Crochet is so versatile something can be found for everyone!

Christmas is not just about the gifts - it is also about the decor!  Garlands, ornaments, tree skirts, and doilies.  The possibilities are endless.  Keep That Yarn Girl in mind as you begin your Christmas shopping lists!

Scrap Busters!

I am excited about tonight's post!  Probably not as excited as my husband though.  One of the hazards of a crochet hobby is lots of small amounts of left over yarn.  Me, being a good child who was raised by a Depression Child, cannot throw certain things away, like leftover yarn.  Now there is a point at which enough is enough and nothing can be made out of the yarn because there is simply not enough there to work with.


After doing several of the projects featured on this blog, I had quite a collection of small amounts of yarn.  So I set out on a quest to find patterns for little things I could go through this collection with.  And here is what I found!

Booties

First I found this super cute and easy bootie pattern.  I was looking for a pattern for baby socks and kept getting results for booties.  So I went with it, after some frustration with the all-knowing internet.

Here is the fun with these booties: they can be slippers or more like boots.  They are the closest thing I found to newborn socks.  They will be super toasty on those chilly nights.

Newborn Mitts

The other cute pattern I found was for newborn mittens.  These crack me up because they look like they could be coin purses or something of the like.  

These are easy to make for boys or girls and they have a drawstring to hold them on.  For mammas who have winter babies, these are great to keep your little one's hand warm.  Or if you have a little one who has long fingernail (or they grow quickly and mom does not have time to keep up with them).

50's Era Sundress

50s Sundress

What is a wife to do when her husband finds a show on TV that only mildly interests her? Go online, of course!  That is exactly what I did a bit ago.  I went online to find a cute toddler dress and came across a pattern from the early 50s.  Yes! This is the project for me tonight, I thought.  For those who are interested in seeing the pattern click here.

The only catch to this pattern is that I made the six month size because I was using yarn on hand.  What yarn on hand did I use?  Do you remember the Throwback post?  I used the hot pink yarn from that.  It was some of the scratchiest yarn I have ever worked with!  It was also very dusty and faded rather oddly because of time.  The other thing I noticed is that the dress was very stiff from the yarn.  I finished the dress and decided I would wash and dry it.  I made sure to use laundry detergent with fabric softener in it, and when it was done washing I put it in the dryer with a dryer sheet.  Now why was all of that important?  Because the fabric softener will help make the finished product less stiff and less scratchy.

For those of you who checked out the pattern, I modified it a little bit and left off some of the detail work, and used ribbon instead.  The shoulder detail turned out very cute, and a little more modern.

Girl's Backpack Part 2

The end of this project has arrived. For those who have followed it from the beginning, you may be saying "Whoa! What?!"  Not to worry!  I will explain more right here and right now.  First a caveat: I completely forgot to take pictures of the other pieces separately.  That usually happens when I get in the "zone."  So, I will do my best to explain.  Last time we talked about the front and the back, done!  If you are following along with the patter in discusses the gusset next.  If this is your first project, this could be the tricky part.  I mean that with all sincerity.  The gusset is created by 100+ rows of five single crochets.  I did not just speak a foreign language, that is really what the stitch is called.  The reason this part could be so challenging is because this piece does need to be straight.  It's function will be to act as the sides of the backpack. 

Next the pattern has you make two straps.  These are similar to the gusset, but narrow and shorter.  They also need to be straight.  You can do it! Keep working on it. 

Finally the assembly.  This consisted of crocheting the back to the gusset and the front to the gusset.  Attaching the straps with D-rings at the bottom and whip stitches at the top. Then came the details: adding the button, fringe and french knots.  When you see the finished product below, you will notice the stitches on the front are not french knots.  Embroidery is not my strong suite, so I used Xs.  Really creative - I know.  You will also note my finished version does not have fringe along the bottom.  I was not a huge fan of it, so I did not put it on.  That is the beauty of the pattern, any pattern.  You can use it more like a guideline (name that movie!).

Back

Front Detail

A suggestion when purchasing the D-Rings.  Buy the ones you think are too big.  It will be easier!

Tada! The finished product.

Again, congratulations to Tawna! She was our contest winner and this was her pattern idea.  Watch for That Yarn Girl turns 1!  There will be another contest, so stay tuned.

In Honor of the 4th of July

We are lucky enough to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.  How wonderful is that?  I think it is pretty great!  Let me tell you a little bit more about me.  I have always been teary on Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Veteran's Day.  I have always been in awe of the servicemen and women and what they do for you and me.  This tendency to tear up became significantly worse when I married my husband.  He served in Iraq and was a member of the Army National Guard.  He has since left the Guard, but is one of the most Patriotic people I know.  It blows me away that we have veterans now who are my younger brother's age.  To all who have served, Thank you!

Military Set

In honor of the servicemembers everywhere, I created a baby bundle out of the old green cammo.  I know very well the cammo is different colors now, but I like this.  Luckily, I have someone to give this too and I think their family will love it.  

This set is geared for a little boy, because I did not have one done for a girl.  It includes a newborn baseball cap, booties, and mitts.  Check out the whole set on the baby page!

Girl's Back Pack Part 1

As promised, you will have the chance to see TYG in action!  The Winner of the pattern contest was Tauna, and she suggested a Girl's Backpack.  For those interested in the pattern click here. 

Hobby Lobby Yarn Isle

How do I start a project?  Usually it begins with pattern inspiration, but with that already done; next comes yarn shopping!  I tend to stay close to home when I shop, so I headed to the local Hobby Lobby.  Which is wonderful, because their store brand yarn (I Love This Yarn) is wonderful!. Why is it so wonderful?  A couple of reasons. One it is usually cheaper than other brands, and it is much softer than other yarn, without going to the more expensive cotton, wool, and other specialty yarns. Luckily this pattern calls for worsted weight (4 ply or size 4) yarn.  I purchased enough for two projects and home I went.

Now for those of you who do not already have a stash of crochet hooks at home, now would be a good time to purchase the hook called for in the pattern.  Here is a little secret I have discovered, I crochet larger than most patterns call for in the gauge.  So that means I use a hook size smaller than the pattern calls for, depending on the project.  If you are new to crocheting, start with the hook the pattern calls for.  As you progress with your ability, you will be able to use the gauge to your advantage.  Now that I have bored you to tears with details about things you may not be interested in, the beginning!

Chain base

This pattern is done by making all of the pieces for the backpack and then assembling them.  So I began with the front.  Most crochet projects begin with a chain base.  This can make or break your project because it is your start.  So the important thing with chain bases is to crochet them a little loose.

Do not be discouraged if your first ever chain does not look like this!  This comes from years of practice.  It may sound silly, but if this is a first time, or not something you do often, your chain base will be curly, bumpy, or just plain ugly.  It will be okay!  Next comes the tricky part: crocheting back over the chain.



Crocheting back over the chain will be the longest part of the project as far as one row goes.  The reason for that is because the chain is usually a little more difficult to work through than the stitches you will create.  Do not give up and do not be discouraged.  You will make it.  I would suggest you start with a project that does not have a large chain base, so you have the opportunity to be successful, and then move to a longer chain base.  A dishrag or hot pad would be a great place to start over an afghan. Afghans usually have a 200 + chain base and can be overwhelming.

Rows above the base

Once you move past the first row, your project will go smoother and your stitches will be what is obviously struggling now.  It is okay, keep going.  As you move through this pattern your front panel will look like this picture, kind of.  Again if this is a first for you, it will only resemble this picture.  Good job!

The plus about this project is that it is supposed to look triangular when you are done with it.  One of the many complaints people express to me about crocheting is their project turns into an odd shape, which is not what the pattern calls for.  The trick is to pay attention to where you are working and make sure you are working in all the stitches you are supposed to.

Front Panel

Here is the finished product for the front panel. Tune in for Part 2!

Teaser

Tank with Bolero

 Today's project is super cute!  I signed up to help with a service auction at our church.  On the page for the sign up it listed bringing a project would count as a service.  I thought, "well that is right up my alley!"  And the search for the project ensued.  What I found is I could not find the project I wanted, so I pieced a couple of projects together to come up with the super cute ensemble you see here.

Drawstring Skirt

For those of you who live local (Riverton, UT area), this cute outfit will be up for auction on June 29, 2012.  The auction is being held at the Canyon View Park.  Please come and see it in person!

Here is the story of how this ensemble came to be.  I found the skirt pattern and thought it was cute.  I was having a rough time just settling on the skirt though because I had signed up to make a toddler dress.  I could not find a dress pattern I liked, so I decided to go with the skirt and then added the tank and bolero from the Ruffle Skirt outfit I made earlier.

The outfit shown here is 18 month size.  It is also available up to 36 month size.

Check the baby page for ordering details.

First Runner Up

For those of you who are dying to know what other projects were submitted for the six month anniversary; here it is!


These are crochet Converse style booties. Here is the cool thing about these - they can be booties or soft sole shoes for the toddlers in your life. The color options are endless! Check out the baby page for order information.

Contest Winner!

Things have been a little crazy busy around my house, so I apologize for the delay.  And now without any further ado - our contest winner: Tawna!  Tawna suggested the cute project you see below.



I will post the project from yarn shopping to finish.  Hopefully, this will give you an idea of how to start a project, and hopefully finish it.

This pattern comes to you and me courtesy of Caron Yarns.  They have a great library of free patterns for both knitters and crocheters.  You will not be disappointed when you look at Caron :)

For those of you who submitted other suggestions, please do not be disappointed or upset!  The other suggestions were ones I have, in fact, done.  Stay tuned to check them out!

Baseball Cap

Tonight's post comes to you out of a need.  Our good friends were expecting their second child, a little boy, any day now.  I had already made an awesome pom pom hat, but had come to the realization that the hook I was using makes the hat more for the size of a three year old's head than a newborn head.  I was facing a dilemma, what should I do?  The whole goal of the gift was to make something that would fit a newborn head.  I had not accomplished that goal with the pom pom hat.  So I perused my favorite patterns sites (as referenced on the Reader's Choice post) and found this little gem of a pattern.  The very best part of this pattern?  It is a quick project. 

This cute little hat is not designed for keeping little one's ears warm.  It will shade the little one's face and keep the top of their little head warm, and they will look very stylish doing it!

The Bohemian Tutu Skirt

Moms with girls who love frilly colorful skirts-I have the perfect skirt for you!

Bohemian Tutu Skirt

 Here is the story on this ruffly creation.  I was browsing the internet-I do that from time to time, you know-looking for the next great TYG creation.  I seem to be on a little girl skirt/dress kick lately and came across this super cute pattern.  Luckily this is a pattern by Red Hart, and it is easy!! The beauty of this pattern is it taught me a new stitch.  I am very excited to start incorporating it into other projects I have.

Black and white to help visualize different color options

Now, let's discuss the colors.  The original idea according to the pattern is to have the skirt be monochromatic, which is wonderful.  I ran in to the problem of not having enough yarn of one color and had to figure out what colors to put together on the fly.  All-in-all, I think this turned out bright and lovely. When you order, please give me your color preferences.  I can do monochromatic, white background with colored ruffles, black background with colored ruffles, or the tricolored version listed above.

Now for the specs: this super cute creation comes in sizes 4,6, & 8 in girls, at least as the pattern is currently written.  I can modify it to fit smaller sizes as well.  So when ordering this lovely, please list the size you would like and include the waist measurement. Order information can be found on the new page For the Girls.

Also I have two new pages coming soon! Watch for them, as they will be amazing!

Oh my!

Ruffle Skirt Ensemble

First of all, how cute is this little one?  I would like to introduce you to my niece, Chloe.  She is also featured on the TYG In Action page.  Check it out if you can't get enough of her.

Now for what she is wearing.  This in the Ruffle Skirt Ensemble. There are actually three parts to this outfit; the skirt, shrug, and a tank top.  Chloe is wearing two of the three.  In all fairness the tank top is cut, but when I finished it, I did not think it was going to be the most friendly thing to put on a baby.  The shrug is simple and ties in the front.  And finally the skirt. Adorable, right.  It has three layers of ruffles and is an A-line skirt. 

This super cute outfit can be made in any color combination you would like.  Here is the beauty of this outfit, you can order one, two, or all three pieces.  Please check out the baby page for all the details!

This is not an original pattern.  I have to give a large shout out to ravelry.com for this one.

Throwback!

 This post is not for a pattern, item for sale, or to brag about my amazing skill.  This post is dedicated to Grandma Warby.  She is currently is the process of cleaning out her home.  She will send items home with whomever comes to visit her.  My sweet mother-in-law, knowing I can always use yarn, volunteered to bring the yarn from Grandma Warby to me.  Upon opening the grocery bag, this is what I found!  The font and color of the wrapper is clue enough as to the age of the yarn.  Isn't it wonderful?  I love that yarn can last so long!  I will say the yarn itself was very discolored from years of dust, it is still very usable and a new adventure is ahead of me with this yarn!

Now a couple of word about the price tags I found on these skeins.  First of all notice this one to the left is listed for $0.79.  How out it be?! I would not know what to do if yarn prices were still this low. 

If you think that price is wonderful, I found one skein with the price tag that said they were 4 for $1.00.  Isn't that insane?  It makes you wonder at the strides that have been made in yarn making.  Not only in the prices, but also in the materials yarn is now made from.  I love walking in to a craft store and finding so many options in color, texture, and fiber type.

This last one is to show how well brands can endure.  Red Heart is the staple yarn I learned to use years ago. 

Now to mention how to care for older yarn.  You will need two things: a mesh bag (small like a lingerie bag) and a washing machine. I found this on Pinterest, so thank you!  Remove the label and loosen the skein slightly.  Place the skein in the mesh bag and then wash in the washer with like colors.  If you would like the yarn to be slightly softer place it in the dryer.  Good luck!!

New Projects

It has been quite some time since I have posted something new.  Well, let me show you what I have been up to for the last little bit!

Mittens

First I would like to show off my mittens!  These beauties come from a pattern I found in Crochet Today!  Aren't they lovely?  I was lucky enough to sell this pair right away, and the report was they were very warm and wonderful for the cold mornings here in Utah.

Headbands

Headband

Next, are these super cute headbands.  I had the wonderful opportunity to go on vacation with my family and discovered my cute little niece only had two headband!  As she is only three months old, I thought this was a crime and came home and immediately set to work with some of my left over yarn to remedy her head band situation.

Here is a neat tid bit about these headbands; they can be any size!  Keep that in mind when you order.

Mitts

Now, for those of you who wondered what the Alice mitts would look like in variegated yarn.  Wait no more!  Aren't they lovely with multiple colors?  Keep in mind, the possibilities are endless when you order.

New Born Beanie

This cute little hat was also an inspiration I had for my niece.  My brother mentioned he loved her in black and hot pink (not that he wants to force anything ;)).  So naturally, I worked with my scraps again and created this cute little hat.  It is just a basic beanie with a flower embellishment.  Perfect!

Mini Muk

Mini Muks

These Mini Muks are the most recent project I have finished.  For those of who are are a fan of slippers that cover more than just your feet.  These are for you!  Not shown in the picture is the option to have felt or suede sewn to the bottom.  These Mini Muks  will last forever with a sole attached.

For the Twilight Fans...

 I found an incredible thing the other day. Alice Cullen inspired fingerless mitts!  I knew the Twilight fans out there would really dig these, so here you go!  Of course I had to find a pic of Alice sporting hers, and below you will see the version I created.

Truth be told, I found a pattern for them online, but when I finished them they looked like a chicken leg.  Not attractive at all!  So I rewrote the pattern to my liking and this is what I produced!

Now for those of you who are die-hard Twilight fans, there are specific yarn types available that have been inspired by the series.  You can find them all over the internet.  Please check out the Accessories page for ordering details.

Gents, this one is for you!

Ladies and gentlemen, but mostly gentlemen, tonight I bring you the Beard Hat.  This creation came at the request of a family friend, and unfortunately the request was a while ago.  Luckily, I was able to find a way to make the beard, which is what was slowing me down, and have finished the creation.
Also tonight I am happy to announce a first for That Yarn Girl: a model.  I want to thank Bryce Maughn for being such a great sport. Enjoy and tell all the guys you know!
