Gift Card Holder

I posted this pattern in 2010, I had intended to make this a cover for your electronic device or now your smart phone, but I bet this would also be great as a gift card holder:



Treasures Made From Yarn: Electronic Device Shelled Sock

Show Your Stuff

Welcome back to another edition of Show Your Stuff.

This week I made a dish that I just threw together. I had a pound of ground turkey that I wanted to cook. I searched the web for ideas, but I ended up whipping up something on my own. This dish is similar to the casserole I showed last week. I put ground turkey with onions and green peppers on the bottom. I made up a box of macaroni and cheese (you know, the one in the blue box) and layered it on top of the ground turkey. I made up a  a cheese sauce from scratch and layered it on top of the macaroni. I topped it with more cheese and bread crumbs. I baked it for about 30 minutes.

Now it is your turn, I saw some amazing stuff last week....

Progress

Here is progress on my neon afghan.  I am hoping I have enough yarn. It is looking pretty cool.

Prayer Shawl

I had a lot of Homespun and chunky yarn I got from my church. I made it into this shawl and I plan on donating it as a prayer shawl.

Show Your Stuff

Hi, welcome again to another edition of Show Your Stuff. This week I have a layered cheeseburger pasta. It was one of those nights that I took out some ground beef and not sure what I was going to do with it. So I came up with this tasty cheesy hamburger pasta.

I have three layers of food. On the bottom layer you have ground beef, onions, and spaghetti sauce. I added cooked pasta as my middle layer. I covered it all with a  creamy cheese sauce I made from scratch.

Overall it turned out o.k. I felt that I needed a little more seasoning.

Chevron Hat Pattern

This is my first adult hat pattern. I have not really done any hat patterns because it seams like when it come to hats, I could not seem to get it right. It turns out either too small or too big.

This think I got it right with this one. For the gauge, I got three inches between the points, and 4 rows equal to about an inch.

So here is what I used to make the hat.
Worsted Weight Yarn

I hook

Chain 85

Row 1: sc in second chain from hook, sc in the next 4 chains, 3 sc in the next chain, sc in the next 5 chains, skip 3 chains, *sc in the next 5 chains, 3 sc in the next chain, sc in the next 5 chains, skip 3 chains*  repeat, leaving the last 3 chains un-worked.

Don't turn, work in continuous rounds, I was working in the back loops because I like the effect, you could work in both loops.

Row 2:  Skip the first sc, *sc in the next 5 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in the next 5 sc, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Repeat round two until you have about 6 inches if you don't want a brim, go about another 2 inches if you want a brim.

Decrease Rounds

Row 1 : Skip the first sc, *sc 2 tog, sc  in the next 3 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in the next 3 sc, sc 2 tog, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Row 2: Skip the first sc, *sc 2 tog, sc  in the next 2 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in the next 2 sc, sc 2 tog, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Row 3:  Skip the first sc, *sc 2 tog , sc in the next sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in the next sc, sc 2 tog, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Row 4:  Skip the first sc, *sc 2 tog , 3 sc in the next sc, sc 2 tog, skip 2 sc*  repeat around, ending with only skipping 1 sc

Row 5:  * sc 2 tog, sc in next sc, sc 2 tog* repeat around. Finish off

Remember the three chain you left un-worked from the first round, attach it so it forms a skip chain three loop

WIP Wednesday

So I have this pretty blue prayer shawl I am working on, but  my ends are folding over and I would like to know if I could prevent this or if I am just going to have to block it at the end.
