Crochet Pants, Leggings, or Shorts FREE PATTERN!

A while ago I was looking for crochet pants patterns. ALL I found were shorts patterns... Then Ravelry came along and showed me a pattern for "The Warmest Camouflage Tights." Can I use them for pants? Of course! In the picture I have I'm not wearing leggings under them, but I do wear leggings underneath now because of "holes" in the pant legs. 
Here is the pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-warmest-camouflage-tights
To my surprise, she featured my photo on the home page of the pattern:

Yes, mismatched socks ARE awesome...

I decided to make one half gray, and the other black. Take that Hot Topic!

I'm currently making a second pair for my sister, a few months ago I started and only finished one leg.. So she is now forcing me to complete it, which I should have done a long time ago. When they are complete I will most likely post a picture of them.

This pattern can be shortened so that you can make shorts, I made some that went to my knees. The yarn I used was too skinny, and it didn't satisfy me, so no pictures of that! Now that I think of it, these should be done in some nice, soft Red Heart Yarn... Sounds like a plan.

I'm thinking about making a whole matching crochet outfit.. My next few posts should be about the dresses I made! I'll have to put that on my blog to do list, I'll have to create that list first, though XD I hope you enjoy the free pattern!

When Technology Goes Off, The Mind Turns On - Extra Long Santa Hat

          When I was looking for a pattern for a long Santa/Christmas hat, I was politely told to take a break from technology.. Which meant no more pattern hunting for the day. SO, I had to rely on my mind to come up with a pattern. So I started from the bottom of the hat and measured my head to get a size. Then I crocheted in the round and decreased when I thought the timing was appropriate. The hat turned out WAY better than I excepted. Then I ribbed the bottom of the hat, and added a large pom pom(not perfectly round as I hoped) to the end of it.

          In the future I would like to make a much longer, this will mean more contemplating on where I should decrease :( But it shouldn't be that bad I suppose. 

So here is how it turned out:

As I said, I want a longer one...

I will write down the pattern soon, and probably make it available for everyone, since I personally don't like buying patterns.

This hat could be a sleepy time hat, a santa hat, an extended pixie hat, or all of the above. Any other suggestions?

Using Cross Stitch or ANY Grid Pattern For Crochet

Most crocheters know that you can use graphs to create designs for crochet, this is called tapestry crochet. Other than making squares and sewing them together, doing single crochet can also create the design. Still confused?
For example: 

(I'm a huge Kirby fan)

This could be a tapestry crochet pattern, or a cross stitch pattern. All you have to do is use single crochet to create this, it's very easy! If you already know how to use graphs, good for you! If not, there are plenty tutorials and videos on how to do it. But that's not ALL!

You can also use images such as these:

Every bead = 1 single crochet = or one crochet square(you could make a rug!) All you have to do is get some graph paper and draw the design.

The possibilities are endless! And making your own designs on graph paper is easy. Pinterest is a great place to find images like these, or just Google Image searching! I hope that I have enlightened you on crochet designs that you can make, and hopefully you will use them in the future to make fantastical creations! ANY QUESTIONS = COMMENT

Wiggly Crochet Anyone? With Links for How-To

Pinterest is a gift from Heaven! I was feeling uninspired for the longest time, I couldn't figure out what I wanted to crochet!!! Then came Wiggly Crochet! It's looks so cool, to me at least. It may look a bit confusing but I got the hang of it VERY quickly.

^This is the site I used when I first started, but there are plenty videos on Youtube that may be more helpful. I prefer this site though for picture tutorials: http://made-in-k-town.blogspot.com/2011/09/wiggly-tutorial-1.html

^This site has a LOT of pictures of wiggly crochet, great for inspiration!

I think that these would work great is you put pots on them, I think they are called hot pads. I plan on making a whole bunch of them, and sewing them together to make a rug for my room!
Here are some pictures of Wiggly Crochet that I have done so far:

This one is my favorite!

Quite interesting colors.

This is one that I am currently working on.

So what are you waiting for? Start Wiggling!
