<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a221a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Seems I've got my days and nights all meshed up and am having trouble sleeping. I've been working on a few cowls and finishing them off with crochet edgings. Eden decided that it was time for me to make something to replace a few crocheted and knitted items that she has outgrown. My grandmonsters call me "Goodie" so I took the liberty of renaming the staple grannie square to ummm... to the Goodie square.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a221a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a221a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The cold wet weather has brought a visitor to my house... a MOUSE!! I have not seen the actual mouse, but I have seen where the snarly little fella has been... IN MY PANTRY UGGGG!!! So I went to the local $ General store and purchased some traps that spin shut once the little intruder makes his way inside to dine on the delicious peanut butter bait that is placed inside. I sorta feel a twinge of guilt that the lil bugger's last meal is really not going to be said peanut butter because the bait cannot actually be reached once Snarly has entered the contraption.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a221a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a221a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Anywho, while I was there I saw some $1 hats and just couldn't pass them up.... Umhmmm I am an impulse buyer that $ Stores really love. I have never left with only what I went in to purchase initially. AND, I could not have made the hat for $1... soooo, I decided to see if I could do something with the hat to... ya know... do it up...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a221a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><br />

This has be a very trying time for me... for our family. My beloved Billy died on January 6th and I have been living in a fog. I didn't realize that during this time many of my photos have completely disappeared from this blog and I will do my best to replace or repair posts asap. </div>

My Dearest Eden had to have a hat to go with the cheerleading skirt that I knitted for her. This one is reversible and crocheted using basic tunisian short-rows on a double-ended hook (size 10). </div>

MY NOTES:<br />
Cast on 34... reduce by 2 stitches down to 24 per section.<br />
Crochet 6 sections.<br />
Brim is picked up (size 5 knitting circ). Decrease down to 60 stitches... 2X2 ribbing @1 inch</div>

I have been spending more time with my knitting lately, but that does not mean I have neglected my hooking obsession. Most of my knitting projects include some form or another of crochet. Prior to our last move, Zero phoned to request a name doily. This was the first time he's ever asked me to make anything specific for him... well for his wife.<br />
I had to put the project on hold until after the move and today is the day... I had planned to scrub the floors with my brand new scrub brush that Big Daddy ordered for the grout however, it is dark and gloomy and threatening to rain... who scrubs floors when it rains? Well not a woman who has one large husky and a Jack Russell that loves to play in the mud... fer sure...<br />
While searching for the appropriate materials (recently unpacked) I found a name doily that I had crocheted and forgot about... now I must get it finished and framed...<br />

I have no idea how many name doilies that I have crocheted over the years... unfortunately now I have to use magnification to see the work and take many breaks to rest my eyes. Thankfully my darling Big Daddy gave me an awesome lamp.<br />

I crocheted this challah cover many years ago when your mother was still a young girl. I used filet crochet thread and a steel size 5 filet crochet needle. I call this style "positive" because the letters are solid and the background is open.

</div><div style="background-color: transparent; display: block; text-align: left;">It is very difficult to see the stitches in these photos. The towel is white and the trim is blue (the colors of Israel). I used a size k knitting needle and a steel size 6 filet crochet needle to create this broomstick lace.</div><div style="background-color: transparent; display: block; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: #4c2424; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">You will recognize the mizrah in the photo as the very same one that has been placed on Goodie's east wall in Enid and now in Temple. Mizrah (Hebrew: "east") is the direction to be faced during prayer. It is our custom to hang an ornament to help each member of the family to remember to pray and to face east while praying.</div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: #4c2424; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: #4c2424; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The mizrah in my living room was crocheted when your mother was expecting you and will someday be yours for your very own home. I used a size 8 steel filet crochet needle and beige filet thread. The style is what I call negative which only means that the letters are open and the background is solid. </div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: #4c2424; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
