<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">DK To Light Worsted yarn of your choice<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For the length of skirt I did 72 chains. I like shirts to sit higher up above my natural waist. Since I am a more robust lady…;) <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Row 1: HDC in 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> ch from hook and each chain across, turn (to make a neater seam you should hdc in back bar of the chain <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Row 2: slst in the back loop only in each hdc across<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Row 3-4: slst in the back loop only in each slst across<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Row 5: HDC through both loops in each stitch across<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Continue Row 2-5 until piece goes completely around your waist. Ending with a Row 4.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Assembly: now turn so the right side of the skirt is facing out. Slst through loop closest to you on the front side of the seam, and farthest from you on the other side of the seam. This should create a almost invisible seam. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Edging: sc along the bottom edge of the skirt evenly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Row 2 Edging: sc in first st, 2 sc in next sc around to end<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Row 3 Edging: ch 3. Dc in next sc, *ch 1, dc in next sc. Repeat from * around to end. Fasten off.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If your like me, you will also want to make a belt to tie the top of the skirt. So chain enough to go around your waist, and then add about 30 more chains so you can tie it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That’s it, you’re done. Now wasn’t that easy? :D </span><br />
<br />

So look out for a mesh bag, and two sweaters, one size 24 months, the other a size two.<br />
<br />
I know I know....I'm always working on atleast three or four things at the same time. My mother asks me why I do it to myself...but I can't help it. When I think of something I MUST create I must form it into fabric before the idea leaves my head and I miss out on what might have been a crochet masterpiece....LOL<br />
<br />
So I am nearly done all of these projects and will post them as soon as I have taken the photos. The patterns may be for sale. I'm sorry to those that don't wish to pay for a pattern, but my maternity has run out so I need the little added revenue this brings until I find work.<br />
<br />
Thanks and keep an eye out for the new projects.....</div>MizzDecadencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11613214342907038486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318110913778861895.post-23238192189853850952010-10-10T11:18:00.000-07:002010-10-10T11:18:22.120-07:00The Lilac Breeze Mesh Dress<span><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chicc-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003N7NBHQ" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span><br />

I wonder how many of the men will keep this hat and use it on those cold north coast of BC winters. I wonder if they will be used at all....<br />
<br />
There is a fine art to the hat. Especially mens hats, since we all know that there are certain styles men will not wear. Simple is key to the men I am crocheting for...so here is my dilema. how am I to keep from getting bored? I have no idea really....perhaps changing from that bold black to the steel grey....or instead imagine I am crocheting a frock fit for a king, instead of a simple hatMizzDecadencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11613214342907038486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318110913778861895.post-1846423610140617382010-08-06T11:04:00.000-07:002010-08-06T11:04:16.610-07:00Bikini Cover Dress<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Bikini cover dress</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">I created this pattern before creating the actual dress. So I don't have a picture, but I am almost done.... </span></strong>I used this stitch for the entire dress <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2284142_crochet-shells-lace-stitch.html">http://www.ehow.com/how_2284142_crochet-shells-lace-stitch.html</a><br />
<br />
Materials<br />
1 ball of baby weight yarn<br />
4.5 hook<br />
1 needle and thread<br />
1 length of ribbon<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. I began by measuring my daughters bust. This will vary by child. But if you are unable to measure the childs bust, you can take a look at this site which gives generic sizes for different childrens sizes. http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/babysize.html <br />
<br />
2. sew the two ends of the elastic together<br />
<br />
3. tie on the yarn, and ch 1. sc over the entire elastic.<br />
<br />
Row 1. hdc over even numbered sc on the elastic, making sure to make the end number divisable by 6. I ended up with 96 hdc in the end. You could even make a larger number if you wanted more of a flowy dress.<br />
<br />
Row 2. Work hdc over every stitch around<br />
<br />
Row 3. ch 1 * skip next 2 chs, work shell in next ch, skip next 2 chs, sc in next ch; repeat from * across join with a slst to ch 1<br />
<br />
Row 4. Ch 5 (counts as first dc plus 2 ch), sc in center dc of next shell, ch 2, dc in next sc, * ch 2, sc in center dc of next shell, ch 2, dc in next sc; repeat from * across. join with a slst to the third chain.<br />
<br />
Row 5. Ch 6 (counts as first dc plus 3 ch); sc in next sc, ch 3, dc in next dc, * ch 3, sc in next sc, ch 3, dc in next dc; repeat from * across. join with a slst to the third chain.<br />
<br />
Row 6. Ch 1; sc in first dc * ch 2, dc in next sc, ch 2, sc in next dc; repeat from * across join with a slst<br />
<br />
Row 7. Ch 1, sc in first sc, (work Shell in next dc, sc in next sc across).<br />
<br />
Repeat row 4-7 until your dress reaches the length you desire, ending on a shell stitch row and fasten off.<br />

You can add a ribbon to the elastic row to tie like a bikini to keep it up, or leave it like a tube top.MizzDecadencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11613214342907038486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318110913778861895.post-30939906463730935002010-07-10T06:28:00.000-07:002010-07-10T06:28:57.244-07:00Lavender Love<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwaMTZ9GTRR5MgMIk13cQ22KRBUWwRqi-VmoRs-RqgajXbKIDhJ7nnpnhY-liTGcObgYrUWk3OasLghbaDvP10kyjNy-FnGtruWO1cDswgBgzeiu2InHtQN_4X1HDgfhLh-7hRr3ay3Aw/s1600/080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><img border="0" height="200" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwaMTZ9GTRR5MgMIk13cQ22KRBUWwRqi-VmoRs-RqgajXbKIDhJ7nnpnhY-liTGcObgYrUWk3OasLghbaDvP10kyjNy-FnGtruWO1cDswgBgzeiu2InHtQN_4X1HDgfhLh-7hRr3ay3Aw/s200/080.JPG" width="185" /></span></a><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Lavender Love</span></div><br />

I stopped around row 20 because I simply wanted a top to put over a tank top for my daughter. You however if you wanted a dress could continue to length desired. You could also add a cute scalloped edge to the bottom and the arm. But I prefer simplicity.MizzDecadencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11613214342907038486noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318110913778861895.post-59598820098070093822010-06-02T21:48:00.000-07:002010-06-02T21:49:12.182-07:00Poncho fever<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6oHP1FQktEui47Qv7jEuKIxOZJbpeh2uTSR_0bZlJWVs-uUOgbiUMAxNGcZCnA3PUvagD3WnVshCmXsObqpYcGud1Wn8FcxSwOQfBMDJpRqqKxa-FizU1y07MOqi7zHtGywbkG5zeLwQ/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6oHP1FQktEui47Qv7jEuKIxOZJbpeh2uTSR_0bZlJWVs-uUOgbiUMAxNGcZCnA3PUvagD3WnVshCmXsObqpYcGud1Wn8FcxSwOQfBMDJpRqqKxa-FizU1y07MOqi7zHtGywbkG5zeLwQ/s320/020.JPG" /><span></span></a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reading-Display-Generation/dp/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&tag=chicc-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)</a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6oHP1FQktEui47Qv7jEuKIxOZJbpeh2uTSR_0bZlJWVs-uUOgbiUMAxNGcZCnA3PUvagD3WnVshCmXsObqpYcGud1Wn8FcxSwOQfBMDJpRqqKxa-FizU1y07MOqi7zHtGywbkG5zeLwQ/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=chicc-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0015T963C" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></a></div><br />
well lately I've been creating ponchos and matching hats. I don't know, perhaps because its warmer now and Caroline (my daughter) gets too warm with the crochet dresses. I decided to make some other crochet things.<br />
<br />
The poneho is my own creation, no pattern followed. I am taking orders for these items. You can choose any color, any theme, any accessory. The one to the right is a creation in the warmest brown, with the palest pink ruffle, and flowers, as well as the palest ribbon.MizzDecadencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11613214342907038486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318110913778861895.post-76484903386350075682010-05-26T09:00:00.000-07:002010-05-26T09:01:30.822-07:00A few new things<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFro5zsc6kqN02CBciHM_JOb3X2MTzXhlWjCwO9rbOfXToORIXG4lf11zPRp64bEgus96lbtuklIsYgULUjfXxcwl589rdZ3qsAnOvA-Z4wjrxY5qllzfV8VzVvesfS-mn1QGR6Q_s_cc/s1600/025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFro5zsc6kqN02CBciHM_JOb3X2MTzXhlWjCwO9rbOfXToORIXG4lf11zPRp64bEgus96lbtuklIsYgULUjfXxcwl589rdZ3qsAnOvA-Z4wjrxY5qllzfV8VzVvesfS-mn1QGR6Q_s_cc/s320/025.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmxEDyzc7d57bgS4xzDIYswhjGJtINYq3vHskqbDKmvjTLHbOJcEClRRuL5ILPlGJbv6C1A0VCt7usnGHd8FUOj7EQRXYO1DhjVGaTbNxIFU8_3sCG3OrQs1r_kh9__LVBoR4XlkQnuM/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmxEDyzc7d57bgS4xzDIYswhjGJtINYq3vHskqbDKmvjTLHbOJcEClRRuL5ILPlGJbv6C1A0VCt7usnGHd8FUOj7EQRXYO1DhjVGaTbNxIFU8_3sCG3OrQs1r_kh9__LVBoR4XlkQnuM/s320/021.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Well I've been crocheting like a mad woman lately. I made my daughter a new pair of crochet sandals. I made a few necklaces from a blog called <a href="http://creativeyarn.blogspot.com/2008/08/white-flower-necklace.html">creative yarn</a>. I'll post some pictures. I'm not sure if I will add a pattern for the sandals. I guess if I get enough response I will post a pattern.<br />
<br />
I've also been making scratch mitts and a new hat for a new baby born in my family. My cousin Ted is the proud Daddy of a new baby boy.....I will post pictures of those eventually as well they are super cute.MizzDecadencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11613214342907038486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318110913778861895.post-43406190238596818482010-05-23T23:11:00.000-07:002010-05-23T23:11:50.467-07:00WIPS<span><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=chicc-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0015T963C&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></span>Well I can't sleep, as per usual. So here I sit wondering what I should do with my newest score (30 dollars worth of wool, that I bought at a second hand store for less then 7 dollars) I have pinks and teals and purples and yellows.....ahh a veritable rainbow....<br />
<br />
My new baby girl needs some sandles since the nice weather is here. My sons need some sun hats. I would like something, maybe a hat...Oh actually I do have a christening dress, a summer dress, a pair of sandles, a hat, and a necklace to finish first :|<br />

<br />
I am a newbie to the crochet world. But I quickly found I didn't like to follow other peoples patterns. I alwa ys ended up editing or changing them in some way. Or winging it like my husband says.....I find inspiration from my children. I have made alot of things that I NEVER wrote patterns for, which will eventually end up as patterns here.<br />
<br />
But for now I will begin with my latest creations. I hope you enjoy and book mark the blog for future use. Thanks and please feel free to click a link while your here...*wink wink*<br />
