Orange Cabled Slouchy hat





I usually design my own hats and clothing, but when I saw the pattern for this hat on Ravelry, I thought" ooh, I could turn that into a awesome slouch hat" So...here it is, if you knit and want a link to the pattern, just comment and I will attach it. This hat is made in 100% orange wool. So comfy and warm with just the right amount of slouch to it. If you are not a member on Ravelry, you should join, it's filled with amazing ideas, patterns, from the most talented designers:) I will not be listing this hat in my etsy shop because it is not my design, I did knit the hat, but the design is all by an amazingly talented knitter named Lucy Sweetland.

Sludge Misplaced Cables Hat

Mock cable kids hat
































































This hat is a mock cable knit hat, with a crocheted brim, made in Lion Brands fisherman's wool. It is very soft and because of the natural oils in the wool, the yarn is water proof, which is a plus for the coming winter months:) My daughter Gwendalyn is modeling the hat, which is available for purchase in my etsy shop:www.brandymccoysboutique.etsy.com

Exquisite Filigree Creamscile Orange doily


I made this filigree doily from an antique pattern that was handed down to me by my Nana. Made with crochet thread and a steel crochet hook. The doily measures 12" and has been pressed and lightly starched to keep it's beautiful shape. The color I used makes this antique style doily look very modern and sophisticated and fun at the same time.

It has rolled hems and an empire waist. It took about 2 days to draft the pattern and about 1 week to complete the dress.
