Luck o' the Irish

Since tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, I will post the patterns for that today.

Knitting:
-A St. Patrick's Day Necklace from About.com-I am totally going to make this! (I found these links on Tuesday!)
-A simple shamrock dishcloth from Knitting Knonsense. She has a lot of cute dishcloths, many of which I plan on making.
-A little shamrock from Natural Suburbia

Crochet:
-A leprechaun hat toilet paper cover from Maggie's Crochet
-The Shamrock Shawlette from Crochet Spot

Sewing:
-A really neat felt banner from Holiday Crafts and Creations
-From the same site, a felt bracelet

So now, some random talking. I have a really hard time concentrating sometimes. I have no idea why! When I'm doing the links, a lot of the time I will switch windows before I have made the hyperlink... and then I have no idea what I was trying to link to. Plus, when I'm working on the tree skirt, I have to count into the 30s, and eventually the 40s, and I get lost a lot, and I have to find the increase, (which makes me really happy I'm not doing this in a really dark color) and count from there again. OK, so speaking of the tree skirt, here's some information about it:

I know, not happening.

Last night, I made a doll! Here it is:


Here it is, as of last night.


This is a little red dress I made, but it doesn't work like that. More about that later.


A circle skirt!


Censor bar!


Close up!


See? I changed it! But now two or three people could hop in there with her!

So, I need to add facial features, hair, and fix her wardrobe. Au revoir!
