Got a new tattoo at the Hampton Roads Tattoo Convention! Really wasn't expecting to get one since I heard most people would only be doing flash work and not custom pieces. So we were looking at the different booths when I noticed Wes from Eternal Expressions in Rome GA.  I get so excited when I see people from back home that are here in VA (special I know). Lucky me he was free for awhile so I gave him a pic and he drew up my dandelion on my leg. I am so happy with it and it reminds me of being a little kid and picking them out of the yard just to blow the seeds everywhere. I even have some floating seeds going around my leg =)

Crochet Diaper Cover Tute

Yay for my first real blog post! In other news I have been working on finding a free diaper cover pattern that really worked for me and it was a pain. Lucky for me I found one over 

HERE at this wonderful blog. I used her basic pattern but changed a few things. 

So here ya go, 

Hook - I (5.5) she used a H hook (5.0) but if you are a tight hooker (haha) like I am then I suggest the I hook.

Worsted weight yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver, Hot pink)

Terms - CH (chain) SC (single crochet) DC (double crochet) SL ST (slip stitch) DC2TOG (double crochet 2 together, basically you are skipping a stitch)

• Ch 45
• 1) SC in 2nd chain from hook, SC all the way across (45)
• 2) CH 2, turn, DC across (45)
• 3) CH 1, turn, SC across (45)
• 4) Turn, SL ST, next 10 sts, CH 2, 
• 5) DC next st, DC, next 23 st, leave rest unworked ( now you will have 24 DC in middle)
• 6) CH 2, turn, DC across (24)
• 7) CH 2, turn, DC2TOG, DC 20sts, DC2TOG (22)
• 8) CH 2, turn, DC2TOG, DC 18sts, DC2TOG (20)
• 9) CH 2, turn, DC2TOG, DC 16sts, DC2TOG (18)
• 10) CH 2, turn, DC2TOG, DC 14sts, DC2TOG (16)
• 11) CH 2, turn, DC2TOG, DC 12sts, DC2TOG (14)
• 12) CH 2, turn, DC2TOG, DC 10sts, DC2TOG (12)
• 13-20) CH 2, turn, DC across (do not fasten off). (12)

Finish:
Ch1, SC around.
Fasten off, Weave in ends.

Button or snap in center of the front flap (make sure its small/big enough that it can go between the DC)

Only thing I really did different in the stitches was actually an accident. I added an extra stitch in step 5 so I was working with odd numbers the whole way down. No biggie =)
