Crocheted Cowl

Handmade Design by

 I have been working on a Shell Stitch Afghan for my new bedroom... I needed a break... I bought some chunky yarn...and a Q hook.... this is crocheted with two strands of chunky yarn held together as one... this was really simple and because of the larger yarn and hook it crocheted up in about 3 hours.   I love those quick projects... this is really soft and snugly and warm.  Thank you so much for looking!!  Hugs, Jeannie

Handmade Soap/Washcloth Set

Handmade

Washcloths by Jeannie Phillips

Soap by Jeannie Phillips and Madison Phillips Patrick

I made these for some special ladies in my life... they are all so dear to my heart and I just wanted to do something so special for each of them.  Maybe this will make them feel special at least for a moment in time. I crocheted the washcloths and round face cloths out of 100% cotton. My daughter, Madison and I set out on a new adventure of making soap... this is our first!!  There is so much joy in making something special for other people. Thank you for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

More Goodies!!

I am so behind on posting my stuff.... I just have been so busy lately.... Here are a few things I have made lately.

 This is one of 10 sets I made for a special group of ladies I know.... I crocheted the washcloths, and a round face cloth... my daughter, Madison and I made the soap today ... our first. It was fun but, harder than we thought it would be. I could not have done it without her!! Her and her sweet Cory just moved back from Memphis... I am so enjoying having her home!

 This is a Loopy Scarf... I am so excited about it!!... So excited...I figured out how to loom knit it in a flat panel on one of my Knifty Knitter round looms... it is so easy and knits up so fast!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 This is a scarf I finished this week... I saw a patter in and online crochet magazine...I don't do patterns...so I went to You Tube to learn the V stitch...I modified it from the video so it would more match the scarf...then I did my best to make my own version...it came our really close!!

 This is a cowl I crocheted...I was thrilled!!  I was not happy with the edges when I finished so I went bad and added a lacy edge and it was just the perfect touch.  The pattern in the yarn came out so pretty on this.  I am giving it as a gift to a lady at my church.  It just kept calling her name each time I looked at it!!  I always feel like it's a God thing when that happens.  God uses us to bless people for Him..we just have to be aware enough to recognize it. I am just learning...and it blesses me so much when God uses me in such a special way!

Ruffle Hat

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside Al

I made a hat similar to this one and a sweet lady I met through Facebook and a high school classmate took a kitten of mine...she saw my other hat and ask me if I sold these hats.... I said no... orders make me crazy!!  She said she understood...I later ran into her cousin that I had graduated high school with and learned she will be going through chemo...I felt so small that I had not said I would make her a hat... I made this one as a gift to her!!  She is a real sweetheart and has taken one of my kittens and loves it dearly... I hope she is pleased with her hat!

Baby Boy Blanket Set

 I have been working on this set for about a week now... I am loving baby blankets...didn't think that I would.  I Loom Knitted this blanket and finished it off with a crochet border.  I loom knitted the hat and added some crochet to the trim of the hat to make it match the blanket and the booties are crocheted.  Thank you for looking!

Baby Set

Handmade Designs by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

I have been working on this set the past week...started over on the blanket 3 times...but finally got the look I wanted for the center... The blanket is knitted on my DaLooms Infinity loom... and then I added a crochet border... the hat is knitted on one of my Knifty Knitter round looms...then I added a crochet border to match the blanket.... and then I used a pattern (don't faint)...I motified the pattern a bit to get the look that I wanted... I ended up with two sets of booties...one for a giant baby... the patter called for an H hook... I ended up using a G hook on the second pair so they would fit a baby... I did a few other changes too...so excited that I am learning!  Learning new things is so much fun. Too bad I didn't know that when I was in school!!... :o)   Thanks for looking... Hugs, Jeannie

Kitted Hat w/ Crochet Ruffel

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I saw a hat a while back that had two of the sweetest ruffles on it...I loved it and had no idea how to do these ruffles.... the look to be knitted onto the hat... and I don't use needles... I use looms... so I though oh well. Lately I have been teaching myself to crochet... a friend taught me a few things years ago...so I thought surely I could figure this all out... so I have been playing... and learning....  woke up in the middle of the night one day and said...oh I know how to make a ruffle on a hat... later that day I went to work adding crochet to my knitted hat.... I had done this with a shawl...now I was going to try it on a hat... and it worked...I was too excited.  Thank you for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

Twisty Scarf

Handmade by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I found a pattern at Hobby Lobby hanging in front of this thread.... I thought this is just beautiful I must make one... As you know, if you know me much at all ... I hate reading and following patterns... most all of my work is something I get in my head...often from things I see.  It is kind of like my aunt who plays the piano beautifully but can't read a lick of music.  It is a different talent is how I like to think of it.  Anyway I read the pattern to see if I could follow it... and got the concept of what made this work...I went to work on the concept instead of following the pattern... So even tho this is not mine...it is kind of mine.  Thank you for looking...I hope you like!!  Hugs, Jeannie

Seafoam and Lace

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I was so excited to make this...I had some leftover yarns and I loved the look of the tri shawl that I made. The mixture of knitting with crochet really makes me happy... I like the look that you can accomplish combining the two techniques...now to learn how to take it to the next level.  Fiber Art is so much fun... the possibilities are limitless... just wish I had started 20 years sooner there is so much to learn.  Thank you for looking!! Hugs, Jeannie

There is some crochet in green and then in the off white color. I can't wait to explore new stitch combinations.
