<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another gift for one of my girls! My friend Melissa, who I've known practically since birth, has a very unique style and a lot of it is inspired by peacocks. Everything peacock reminds me of her. So this was part of her Christmas present this year, along with a matching scarf (which I think I forgot to take a picture of before giving it to her). I love the fancy eye-lashy googly eyes I found for her; they fit this proud and pretty little lady so well! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in light blue, lime green, and light purple. I used Red Heart for the body and wings, and Caron Simply Soft Neon colors for the tail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hook: Size G or H depending on your tension. You may want to use the smaller hook for the tail, since Simply Soft is a little thinner than regular worsted weight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other materials: A small orange piece of felt cut into a triangle, googly eyes (I found the cute eye-lashy ones at Michael’s!), hot glue gun and glue, needle to sew wings and tail on. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Any other 90's kids remember that episode of Friends? Rachel and Ross? No? Apparently lobsters mate for life. <i>Awwwww.</i> Okay, moving on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another Christmas present. One of my best friends that used to be my room mate (the same girl I made the owl for, actually), recently moved out with my other best friend room mate that got married and now has her own house. She's a quirky one and entertainingly random. She has a lobster shirt, a lobster pillow, and might even have a lobster blanket. And I have no idea why. So I decided to add to her lobster collection while throwing in the cute meaning of us being friends forever and that I love her (hence the adorable heart shaped claws). <i>Awww.</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, this heart stealing little guy would make an adorable Valentine's Day present for YOUR lobster. (hint hint!) </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hook: G or H, depending on

an aggressive stitcher, so I used an H. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other materials: stuffing,
buttons or whatever you prefer to make eyes, darning needle and embroidery
needle with thread (if you’re using buttons). Sewing pins and a stitch marker
make this MUCH easier. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

your lobster! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 33: Pinch the circle flat
so that your starting stitch is on the right and the stitches are lined up so
you can crochet the top and bottom together into a line. For the next stitches,
you are going to put your hook through the top stitch AND bottom stitch as one,
so your lobster will be crocheted shut. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Skip 2 stitches, 5 dc in 3<sup>rd</sup>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Skip 1 stitch, 5 dc in next
stitch, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch in last stitch. You should have formed 3
shell stitches and the tail of your lobster should be flat. Bind off and hide
yarn tail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Heart-shaped claws<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the heart-shaped claws,
you are going to make four “bumps” for the tops of the hearts. So there are two
for each claw. For each claw, one “bump” will have a tail of yarn and the other
bump will remain attached to your working yarn while you sew the first bump to
the active one. So you will make one bump, leave a tail and cut the yarn, and
then make a second one, leave attached, use tail from the first one to sew to
the second one, and then return to your active yarn to finish crocheting around
both bumps to complete the heart. I hope this makes sense! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 1: Ch 2, 6 sc in first ch<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 2: 2 sc in each st around
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 3: * 2 sc in first st, 1
sc in next st * repeat around <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rows 4 and 5: sc around <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(If you’re working on your
first bump, BO and leave a tail. If the second one, leave the active yarn
attached.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using the tail of your first
bump, line up the end of the first bump with the last active stitch of the
second bump. Whip stitch 4 stitches together and weave in yarn tail. Return to
your active yarn. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 6: sc one row around both
circles, forming one big circle to work with. The number of stitches you create
will probably vary. I think I ended up with 33. It’s okay if yours is
different, the end product will still look the same. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rows 7 and 8: sc around <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 9: * sc2tog, sc in next 4
sts * repeat around, if you have remaining stitches just sc until the end <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 12: * sc2tog, sc in next
st * repeat around, sc in remaining stitches if any <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 13: sc around. Stuff your
claw now, because it’s going to get tight after this! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Row 14: sc2tog all around<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rows 15 and 16: sc around <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BO, leaving tail to use to
sew claws to the sides of the lobster’s body. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I sewed on my button eyes
first so I could position the claws on the body in relation to them. I used
sewing pins to position the claws and then used the tail of yarn to whipstitch
them onto the body. Enjoy!! </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This little lady was a Christmas present for my mom for

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the hat and scarf – I used
a shiny pink worsted weight yarn that was on sale years ago at AC Moore. It’s
similar to Simply Soft. I thought the difference in texture would really make
the snowman’s accessories pop. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The eyes are simply 2 felt circles, one brown and one black (the brown is slightly larger than the black; you can use different sized buttons or other small round objects to trace). I used regular Elmer’s glue to apply the eyes, using a generous amount and leaving them unbothered until completely dry. The black felt may need to be reglued, because felt glued on felt tends to just absorb the glue; however, the gluing twice actually does make it sturdier. </span></div>Leeses Pieceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05805068388708302047noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634853751912148205.post-16040833558716991202010-12-05T18:31:00.000-08:002010-12-05T18:52:03.357-08:00I've returned!Happy holidays my fellow yarn addicts and crochet lovers! Many of you probably don't remember me but I led a brief blog life about 3 years ago under the name of "Lisa A Crochet." I had started to sell patterns that I designed and all was dandy until life interfered. I was in a bad relationship and struggling with life decisions (haha I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up!) and I was young and stupid and ended up abandoning ship (or hook, I suppose). I owe a HUGE apology to many people who ordered my patterns and never received them. I truly am sorry for neglecting my responsibilities. As a token of my sincere apologies, I am going to post those patterns for free here. Any future patterns I design will be free in this blog as well.<br /><br />So with that, I hope these following patterns inspire you!! Please send me pictures if you use one of my patterns; I love to see people's creations. =)Leeses Pieceshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05805068388708302047noreply@blogger.com0
