THE STITCHES
I learned a whole bunch of new stitches in December... Multiple stitches in one photo are labeled in the photo.
*these are not new stitches, but it is a picture of several of them together
I think the pineapple pattern is part of why I started crocheting :)

This hat has been the bane of my existance, four tries and it's still not done :( The black will not unravel, and I keep reducing the stitches too much.
Pretty hat, has the opposite problem of the pink hat - the bottom of this one grew too big, and once again, the yarn does not unravel.
Black Chenille, with ribbon, for Deb (Who is fabulous!)
Green with pink & green ribbon; smaller black chenille
Dark Teal Shell Scarf, and my first guy hat, for Dan-the-great

AHHHHHHH!!!! You did the bag! It looks great! I want to make a bag next, but my list of "need to dos" is sooooo long currently. I get the Lion Yarn catalog and I just salivate over all of the new possibilities. fyi--If you come this direction, I'll do your 90min. massage goal for you! (and you'll get to see my studio) :p
You're a genius! You should see my pathetic crochet attempts ...
Hey there, girl--e.
Girl I've been crocheting for YEARS and still didn't know what half of the stitches you described were called. I think you have me on the research bit, As usual. That's probably where I need to strengthen. Thanks for the model. Brandi
I wish everything came as easily as crochet :) Carla, you should do the bag - it was a lot of fun.
Erin- I'd look at anything you wanted to show me ;)
Brandi- I only know the names because they are in the books, and if there aren't international crochet symbols it takes me forever to figure them out.
