Crocheted Mermaid Tail

A friend ask me if I could

make her children mermaid tails.

I tried out one I kind of liked and

another I didn't like to much.

The one I kind of liked. I just didn't like the

tail on it. So I looked around and saw one

I liked.

I came up with my own pattern for them all and

love how they turned out. Most importantly

the kids loved them.

My daughters friends birthday was this weekend

and I made one for her. The top picture.

Know to work on one for all my girls.

Crocheted Heart Pattern

by Angela Scherber

Materials :

Yarn:I used I love this yarn (you can use any kind you would like.)

Hook: H and J (I like to go a couple of sizes up. So I can make sure my stitches don't get to tight for the sl st. You may just use the h if you want.)

Abbreviations:
ch=chain
sc=single crochet
dc=double crochet

hdc= half double crochet

tr= triple/treble crochet
sl st=slip stitch

Pattern:

magic ring

ch 4, 2 tr, 2 db, 2 hdc, sc, ch 2, sc, 2 hdc, 2 dc, 2 tr, ch 4, slip stitch into magic ring

Pull the magic ring yarn tighter but not to tight just yet. You need some room to get into the first stitch to do a sl st around in each stitch.

Cut yarn and now pull the magic ring yarn as tight as you would like. Weave in ends

Add any kind of embellishment you would like.

To obtain different sizes I use different size hooks.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

If you would like or can't crochet a heart(s).

One stop slipper sock! (Crochet)

One stop slipper sock!

Crochet

Oh my gosh, I love these. I got some super thick yarn and made myself a pair. My girls loved them and wanted me to make them a pair too. So off to Micheal's we went and they picked out the yarn they wanted.

I love finding new fun and interesting patterns on youtube. I'm one that is a visual person. So video's are the best for me.

For me it's an easy pattern to follow and change to the size I wanted. My littlest one loves them the most and wears them to bed almost every night. Especially when it's below zero out.

It took me a week to get it finished.

I would get my girls to bed and sit and

watch my shows and crochet away. I did

work on it a few times during the day.

Nice thing is you can make is smaller or bigger.

I would like to make one that is bigger for my bed.

My oldest is in to spiderman. I'm going to make one for

her for Christmas. So that one will have to be done in secret

after they go to sleep.

Making your own hand carved stamp

Making your own hand carved stamp

I have been looking for some yarn stamps.

I found one but it was smaller then I wanted.

I just ordered one and really wanted

it to be personalized. So I thought

I could put the words I wanted around it.

So I went to youtube to see if I could find a video.

Here is the first one I found.

Hand Craved Stamp Tutorial

Making your own hand carved stamp

Materials:

- Rubber (Speedball Speedy is what I used)

- Carving tool (I used Speedball Linoleum Cutter)

- #2 pencil

- Tracing paper (optional)

- Xacto or retractable blade knife

- Stamp pad

+Paper

1) I first found a design I liked and then just traced over it with my pencil.

2) Once I traced over it all. I then placed it on my speedball speedy rubber and taped it down to hold it in place. With the back of my speedball linoleum cutter I used the back and pressed down a bit to get the pattern onto the stamp.
