Ecstatic About Hookie

Do ever get really excited over crochet projects ?


I'm there so there I can see the end of the chevron blanket project it's all coming together setting a goal to be done by February yes being lenient so I can get even more excited if I finish before

here's the progress




I've already had to rip out the lettering once this go around is looking hopeful



Oh and yes have to share my next project inspiration



Picture is horrible but our sunsets the past few nights have literally took my breath away

Look at the colors so amazing

And I found out today cause life has been so chaotic this last year I missed a release of my favorite book series by Joanne Fluke  "Blackberry Pie Murder" and she is coming out with another book in February and yes there is more one of her books is becoming a hallmark movie ohhh so much good news in one day  I can hardly contain myself I've been doing happy dances randomly it's funny how little things can get me so exuberant about the future

Crochet Oven Mitt

I wanted so bad to get this oven mitt finished yesterday for hump day hookerry 

As you can see I even liked the colors ... The pattern is free so I hate to say anything bad about it ..not a well written pattern though I had to figure a lot out by the picture
The heart was the same story but if you want a place to start 
Now if you notice or are wondering why my oven mitt has a heart and a thumb pad ...well it's from previous experience that one layer of crochet does not protect hands in the oven so I added an extra layer in high hopes that two crochet layers will protect my hand when pulling out a pizza in a 500 degree oven I will let you know how that goes 

I did make a kitchen towel holder too


There is always not enough space in any kitchen we've had no matter how big it was so crochet baskets have always helped me out in that area 
Kitchen towels are used all day long in our house for everything I don't use paper towels ... Well ok so I hide a roll and use it for things I just can't stand to put in my washer to wash do you want examples probably not but dog puke( poop pee) ya the 3 p's, chicken poop so you have examples
Happy Hooking to all pray there is always yarn on your hooks and new projects in your hearts!!!
