Molly's Princess Crown

Besides surveying the land in preparation for our garden, I've been able to crochet up a storm this weekend.  I'm planning on participating in the Tahki Stacy Charles yarn contest.  Basically I buy this yarn, crochet a scarf using at least 4 of their colors, and the most creative scarf (voted on by viewers like you) wins.  I will make another post with a link to my scarf once I finish it.  I ordered my yarn so while I'm waiting for it to arrive I'm thinking about a pattern that will compliment and best display the colors I've chosen. I've crocheted at least 5 swatches so far and think that I've figured out the pattern that I want to use (I made up my own stitch!!!).  One of my test swatches went terribly wrong but turned out so right!  I tried to stuff too many stitches into one row and voila: Molly's Princess Crown!!!

My mom keeps saying that Molly is a little model and I'm afraid she is totally right.  Isn't this the most beautiful and photogenic little princess you have ever seen?!  I think I'm in love.

That is just precious. Love it! And I hope the gardening thing gets going really soon. I'd love to have some home-grown Sario veggies :)

Missed you this weekend!
