HAPPY NEW YEAR!!<br />
<br />
What a last year was and what a great year this is going to be! Everyone starts the year off with great plans, ideas and goals. One of my goals this year is to post on this blog at least once a week. <br />
<br />
Exciting and new for ChrisCrossCrafts so far? Well after months of not feeling that great, I am finally starting to get back to normal. One of the neat things starting the new year? I am in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BattleoftheStitches" target="_blank">Battle of the Stitches</a> again!! This is doubly exciting for me, because I won the last one. Start following the their page to find out who else is competing and when to vote.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now don't get me wrong, I know he is a HUGE Mario fan, have seen this a few times, just did not think he would want one. I said "Yes" and went back to trying to sleep. I then hear him say, "Right, but it would probably take a year." OH HO!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Valentine's Day is just over a month a way. So, what better time to start crocheting for the holiday than now? I wanted something that would work up fast, but be practical to for a gift for family or a friend, maybe a Secret Cupid gift. <br /><br />This little heart works up in about 15 minutes and are great as a coaster for a glass on a table you do not want to get water damaged.</span> <br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Happy New Year!</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope the new year has been going well for you so far. Now the million dollar question, what are your New Year's resolutions? Mine are to keep losing weight (I seriously think this is everyone's) and my other is to try to learn a new crochet stitch or technique at least once a month, then work it into a new pattern. <br /><br />I started this with the Quad-Triple stitch. This is certainly an interesting stitch and I never even knew it had a name. I think I may have used this stitch years ago in a doily pattern. Thanks to the <a href="http://www.mooglyblog.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Moogly Blog</a> not only did I learn how to make this stitch, but also what it looks like when used to create a braid look. Interestingly enough the braided look can have several different looks depending on what you do the loops when you braided them. In the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mooglyblog.com/ups-and-downs-crochet-slouchy-beanie/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ups and Downs Crochet Slouchy Beanie</a> available on <a href="http://www.mooglyblog.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Moogly Blog</a> it the braid is created by twisting the stitch before you pull the next stitch through the loop. It gives the braid a tighter look. I found that if you use a hook, but do not twist the stitch it is a looser look for the braid. I used my fingers to pull the loops through, pushing the stitch around my finger. It gives the gap look that you see in the rows of braids.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For the Quad-Treble stitch the yarn is looped over 5 times on the hook. For a video direction please watch SheRu Knitting's video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnChrpRLD3c" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here is the new hat with a matching cowl. I am still trying to think of name for it. Nothing seems right, so I will probably do what I almost always do and start getting suggestions</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">What would you name the new set? Leave a comment and let me know. Right now the pattern sits in my folder, simply called Untitled Document. I must admit I am stumped with this one. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I may need to check my calendar, I know it is November 12, 2014, but today feels like Christmas for me. I wrote this pattern and was so excited with it. Now that I have gotten the photos back from the model I am ecstatic with it!! Words cannot describe how happy I am with these pictures. They are over the top and she did a wonderful job.<br /><br />I know there is alot of them but I really wanted to show off this beautiful design. Now I just need to come up with a name for thing, beside Turtleneck Poncho. I think that sounds horrible.</div>

<br />
I actually enjoy doing special requests, because it gives me a change to do something new and really strive to hit the request right on the head. I recently got a special request for a Phineas hat from Phineas and Ferb. I had made Perry hat in the past and seen Ferb hats, so I thought this really could not be that hard. I must say it took me a few days to really figure it out, after I really looked at Phineas' head.</div>

I think each one I make is getting better than the last one. I finally figured out a way to wrap them so they look nice, but do not crush the purse. Must be from all the gift baskets that I made for Angela's wedding. Here are a few pics of the purse.<br />

I sold 7 Gir hats and a Bender hat. The Bender hat was a special request for a large size. I added an extra row bumping up to a row with 10 and 2 dcs. The hat is a Christmas present, so I will not know how it fit till the new year. This year I also tried my hand at a Jack Skellington hat for my oldest son Dale. It turned out great! So great, that Bryce wants one for him and his girlfriend. I have gotten to the point where I can complete a beannie base in an hour or less. I started a SpongeBob hat only to find out the person I was making it for hates SpongeBob. I put the hat to the side till after Christmas because there was other things to get done and started an Eeyore hat for her. Not sure if she will wear it but oh well I can say I tried. No pics of that hat yet, been working on the ears and another hat.<br /><br />Here are a few pics of what I do have done.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs107.snc3/15455_1160643545326_1504938260_30419756_4282403_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 604px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 453px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs107.snc3/15455_1160643545326_1504938260_30419756_4282403_n.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUY0vvDs1WQPOZ_Tg2B9Qgu55u8L_n2j8Ekw_c20F_F1QxXRuf1Ju-oXIpszXScw_KOw5wEqyXmds0Vcqo3t4Llel3w3nJRpkQ-oeuFPpVk_I9M380HWL4MWxwp8eCgJ5SxDH_y-I6Gud6/s1600-h/jack_skellington_hat1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418520629016886402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUY0vvDs1WQPOZ_Tg2B9Qgu55u8L_n2j8Ekw_c20F_F1QxXRuf1Ju-oXIpszXScw_KOw5wEqyXmds0Vcqo3t4Llel3w3nJRpkQ-oeuFPpVk_I9M380HWL4MWxwp8eCgJ5SxDH_y-I6Gud6/s400/jack_skellington_hat1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzUzWj-cXE67wwWO2d-GMUf9dwHW5kFGP6g-sIBQQSmnoCFcbP5kgEbXPZ3s56sDB09DYwgJT2BTRm5YHmMWW8BVc1MuzsT9w12rd7UHXaV5fi_xWIWjV-ookw9tCGVOvGNtOKFSqIP0J7/s1600-h/jack_skellington_hat2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418520624165315234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzUzWj-cXE67wwWO2d-GMUf9dwHW5kFGP6g-sIBQQSmnoCFcbP5kgEbXPZ3s56sDB09DYwgJT2BTRm5YHmMWW8BVc1MuzsT9w12rd7UHXaV5fi_xWIWjV-ookw9tCGVOvGNtOKFSqIP0J7/s400/jack_skellington_hat2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Christine Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776156280776075612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056327403483789292.post-10951635244148514922009-12-22T15:59:00.004-07:002009-12-22T16:09:26.300-07:00Mario Hat!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcyHeSWGtwD1Mb5eep8pF4mXQObnaEWTF7-dXBLqQthZOZsb-TH8w96thlL6yq_mSozidJaodZ4mFouMqF-Ym03on5tOE8dDWGQBBlA1tBPctNgPt2ao8EYkqNCrYdoJR3ufrbQSXHedmV/s1600-h/12-16-09_1551.jpeg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418199217605103330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcyHeSWGtwD1Mb5eep8pF4mXQObnaEWTF7-dXBLqQthZOZsb-TH8w96thlL6yq_mSozidJaodZ4mFouMqF-Ym03on5tOE8dDWGQBBlA1tBPctNgPt2ao8EYkqNCrYdoJR3ufrbQSXHedmV/s400/12-16-09_1551.jpeg" /></a><br /><div>Jeff loves Mario, so what else could I make him but a Mario hat!</div><div></div><div>Now to get the Luigi one done, so we can wear our hats and play together.</div>Christine Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776156280776075612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056327403483789292.post-11451455588244264212009-11-24T21:20:00.004-07:002009-11-24T21:23:48.246-07:00V-stitch Scallop hat<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsq9i8yYTFCzTl4PkPxq9py0IxQXx100Bsjp3-mSUYUKhHVVTOOL3rU9GYljrilUoo_VG8WGLtdWSHqECggLYtXwO96YQpUpNdwcO40PbduacaxIoX2pWhVjrluIXkYkM68O-PRp-qAT3o/s1600/100_0751.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407891910576272546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsq9i8yYTFCzTl4PkPxq9py0IxQXx100Bsjp3-mSUYUKhHVVTOOL3rU9GYljrilUoo_VG8WGLtdWSHqECggLYtXwO96YQpUpNdwcO40PbduacaxIoX2pWhVjrluIXkYkM68O-PRp-qAT3o/s400/100_0751.jpg" /></a><br /><div>I get bored easily!!

Behold Lord Nibbler the from the planet Eternium. He was created for Bryce's 16th birthday. Thank you so much to Hook&Needles <a href="http://www.hookandneedles.com/">http://www.hookandneedles.com/</a> for the wonderful pattern. I did not completely follow it, but it did help a ton to point me in the right direction. </div><br /><div>I used doll joints to make his arms and legs moveable. I did not like the idea of not being able to pose him. An of course I had to create a ham for him. Just wonder if I should of made it bigger. </div><br /><div>His cape and diaper are made of felt, I was worried about the fabric fraying and I really did not like the way the crocheted items looked. His booties are made of yellow cotton yarn. I thought they would be easier to take on and off clean if needed. </div><br /><div>Bryce wants me to make his space jump suit next. I would like to make another and make the brown robe, that is a girl, with the bow around the third eye. She looks a little more friendly than the males. I am planning on making one to auction at Starfest also. Thinking of trying a Nibbler hat when I can get to it. <br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div>Christine Norrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776156280776075612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056327403483789292.post-91189397239910866442009-02-12T09:07:00.003-07:002009-02-12T09:09:27.717-07:00The Gir Hat<a href="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk164/chriscrosscrafts/100_0116-2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk164/chriscrosscrafts/100_0116-2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Gir Hat!!

I seemed to be in a Harry Potter mood at the time and I decided I would make a Monster Book of Monsters for them. One problem, the book in the movie is brown, the book in the book is green. So, I decided to create one of each. One for them to auction and one for us to auction. Also, the one son says be true to the books, the other says make it like the movie, more people will recognize it. It is not done yet, but I had to post my progress.<br /><br />I started with a priority mail box, here it is all folded up.
