Crochet Beanie
There is something I need to say. I fail at crocheting hats. I have made only 1 successful hat in all of my crochet career, and if you ask my sister she might disagree with me on that.
Until now. Yay for other talented blogger/crocheters!!

Fair Isle Crochet
Over the last few weeks I have been wanting to try some new kinds of crochet, and so I decided to learn how to crochet in fair isle. I found some really helpful videos that taught me how to switch the colors and then I designed the pattern. I had hoped to make a hat, but when doing this kind of pattern you need to use single crochet, which is not very stretchy. So after I did a few rows I realized that it would not make a very good hat and I came up with the idea to make a hot water bottle cover.
Here are the links to the videos that taught me how, they are very clear and easy to understand.

Fair Isle Crochet Tutorial #2: How to Catch Your Float
Fair Isle Crochet Tutorial #3: How to do a Clean Color Change In The Round
To make the hot water bottle I crocheted ribbing, connected that into a loop, crocheted along the top of that until my desired length and then sewed the top closed.
To follow the graph just count each square as one single crochet.

Lacy Shells Scarf
I have recently been loving
the rose pink color, so when I went shopping for some new yarn I was on the
hunt for this color. I really wanted to try my hand at a new infinity scarf,
but a little different and a bit more challenging. So this is what I came up
with! I hope you like it and enjoy the pattern.
