Silverware Sleeves for your Lunch Box

~Another Dana Original!

Silverware Sleeves

My Helpers

If you have ever received a gift from me or sat close to me while I was working on a crochet project, then you have seen the added dog hairs in my work. They are everywhere. No matter how hard I try to keep my projects free from hair, they still have it. So, in all due justice, I thought I would post this picture. Mr Buddy is using my yarn as a pillow. The puppy has even taken a few skeins for a whirl around the living room a time or two. My little Fur Helpers. I love them.

KU Rellik

This is a DANA ORIGINAL. I did not have a pattern for this hat, thus I totally winged it once again. As you will come to know, I don't create patterns and I don't typically use other's patterns. I just create. This hat is made with Red Heart Yarn. I normally do not prefer Red Heart, but they had the KU colors and it does not tend to loose the shape and is colorfast after several washings. It also tends to keep the Peanut (head) rather warm on the cold Kansas days.

Rellik is my little dog that I just LOVE & ADORE! He is the model for my KU Ear Muff Hat.

BLT Scarf

Introducing.....

MY B.L.T. Scarf!

This is a Dana Original. I did not have a pattern for this, I just saw it in my mind and away the crochet hook went. I have at least 24-hours in this scarf. Most of the project is made from Red Heart yarn, Vanna's Choice and some misc. balls of yarn I bought at Fabric Recycles (a new, Great store that opened in Overland Park).

I don't write patterns because I don't read them all to well. My lingo is totally different...just ask my friend Tamara. I guess my crochet is kinda like everything else. The "thingy, goes with the thing-a-ma-jig, and so forth. Tee hee hee.
