<b>Flower:</b><br />
For the flower, you can:<br />
1) Use a hair clip-on flower and position is wherever you want (as shown on red hat).<br />
2) Use my <a href="http://forhisgloryhandiwork.blogspot.com/2013/10/fabulous-flower-free-crochet-pattern.html" target="_blank">Fabulous Flower pattern</a>, and either sew it on, or put the flower on a clip (shown below).<br />
3) Use any other embellishment you want or don't put anything on at all.<br />

You're not a hat person, yet want a new fun accessory.... what to do? Make an infinity scarf of course!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They are stylish and so quick to make. Make several of them in a variety of colors to have something to match whatever you are wearing! They would also make good gifts!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Finished Size:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Approx 6" wide, and 56" around. Gauge is not super important for this project, but it will change the size slightly if yours if different than mine. Info for how to adjust size below.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<b>Materials</b>:</div>
<div>
-6-7 oz of worsted weight yarn of choice. (I used 5.5 oz of Lion Brand Wool-Ease (2 skeins, with a little left over) in all examples except gray, which I used about 6-7 oz of Red Heart Super Saver in Grey Heather. Amount of yarn will depend on how heavy the yarn is, and the Super Saver one came out a bit stiffer.)<br />
-M hook<br />
-Yarn Needle</div>
<br /><b></b>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Pattern:</span></u></b><br />
<b><u></u></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b>Pattern Notes:</b><br />
*You will hold two stands of yarn together as if you are working with one throughout the entire scarf.<br />
*Chs at beginning of each round do not count as a stitch.<br />
*This scarf is made with invisible seam, otherwise the "seam" becomes very visible. A tutorial of how to do that is {coming soon}, but remember to still do the BLO!<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<b>Main Part:</b><br />
ch 120, trying to make sure ch isn't twisted, join with a sl st to first ch made to create a big loop.<br />
Rnd 1: ch 1, sc around in ea ch, join. (120 sc)<br />
*Make sure it is not twisted, it won't be obvious now, but it will later!<br />
Rnd 2: ch 2, working in BLO, dc in ea st around, join. (120 dc)<br />
Rnd 3-5: ch 1, working in BLO, sc in ea st around, join. (120 sc)<br />
Rnd 6: ch 3, working in BLO, trc in ea st around, join. (120 trc)<br />
Rnd 7-9: ch 1, working in BLO, sc in ea st around, join. (120 sc)<br />
Rnd 10: ch 2, working in BLO, dc in ea st around, join. (120 dc)<br />
Rnd 11: ch 1, working in BLO, sc in ea st around, join. (120 sc)<br />
Fasten off.<br />
<br />
<b>Chain and Assembly:</b><br />
1) Make a long chain until it is about the length of the circumference of the scarf, do NOT fasten off.<br />
2) Use your hook to weave the chain (end you started with) through evert other trc.<br />
3) Pull and adjust the chain through so the end you started with is right by where you are going to join it and not hanging out more than a chain or two. Rip out the other end of chain so it's the right size and meets the beginning end right on the scarf, cut, but done fasten off.<br />
4) Tuck two ends to the inside of scarf and with unfinished loop join to first chain with a slip stitch. Fasten off and pull tight.<br />
5) Double knot the two ends together and either weave into the chain.<br />
6) Weave in any other loose ends. You're done!<br />
<br />
<b>Size Adjustments:</b><br />
-To make the scarf larger around, just add more chs to desired length.<br />
-To make it 7.5" wide, repeat Rnd 3 once more after Rnd 1, Rnd 5 once more after Rnd 5, Rnd 9 once more after Rnd 9, and Rnd 11 once more after Rnd 11.<br />
-To make it 6.75" wide, repeat Rnd 5 once more after Rnd 5, and Rnd 9 once more after Rnd 9.<br />
-To make it 5.25" wide, take out Rnd 5 and Rnd 9.<br />
-To make it 4.5" wide, take out Rnds 4-5 and Rnds 8-9.<br />
-To make it 4" wide, take out Rnd 2 and Rnd 10.<br />
-To make it 3.5" wide, take out Rnds 2-3 and Rnds 9-10.<br />

During my years of crocheting, there was something I could never get right - flowers. Every time I made one I did it a different way, partly because I couldn't remember how I did it the time before, and partly because the time before never looked how I wanted it too. I finally got it to come out right so I wrote up the pattern quick before I forgot! :)<br />
<br />
This cute flower would be a great addition to many items. Hats, headbands, bags, etc. Or it could become a hair clip or pin. It can be used so many different ways for so many things!<br />

<b>Finished Size:</b><br />
Depend on what size hook and yarn you use. Mine with an I hook and worsted weight yarn turned out to be about 3 in wide, with the top flower being about 1.5 in wide.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Materials</b>:</div>
<div>
-Yarn of Choice (I used worseted weight)<br />
-Size hook of choice (I used an I hook)<br />
-Yarn Needle</div>
<b><br /></b><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Pattern:</span></u></b><br />
<b><u></u></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b>Pattern Notes:</b><br />
*Pattern is worked in continuous rounds, do not join at end of round. Place a stitch marker in last stitch of each round.<br />
*Two flowers are made separately and then sewn together.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<b>Bigger Flower:</b><br />
ch 2 or make magic ring and ch 1<br />
Rnd 1: 5 sc in first ch made or magic loop. (5 sc)<br />
Rnd 2: 2 sc in ea st around. (10 sc)<br />
Rnd 3: *2 sc in first/next st, sc in next st, rpt from * around. (15 sc)<br />
Rnd 4: *[sc, hdc] in first/next st, [2 dc, 1 trc, 2 dc] in next st, [hdc, sl st] in next st, rpt from * around for a total of 5 petals.<br />
Fasten off, weave in tail.<br />
<br />
<b>Smaller (Top) Flower:</b><br />
ch 2 or make magic ring and ch 1<br />
Rnd 1: 5 sc in first ch made or magic loop. (5 sc)<br />
Rnd 2: *[sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sl st] in next st, rpt from * around for a total of 5 petals.<br />
Fasten off, leaving long tail (about 6").<br />
<br />
<b>Assembly:</b><br />
1) Use tail of smaller flower to sew it on to the top of the bigger one. - Line up so points of petals on smaller flower are where two petals come together on the bigger flower, and sew at base of petals on smaller flower.<br />
2) If not sewing flower to another item (hat or something), knot off.<br />
3) If sewing flower to another item, use end to stitch flower to the item, at the base of the petals on bigger flower (sewing under the petals of the smaller flower.) Knot off.<br />

<br />
<b>Assembly:</b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EBdPocyFgfc/UikzeyvHbHI/AAAAAAAAQ5Y/ZH_0D0o42lA/s1600/stem+sewn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EBdPocyFgfc/UikzeyvHbHI/AAAAAAAAQ5Y/ZH_0D0o42lA/s320/stem+sewn.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
2) Still using brown tail, sew stem to top of hat. Knot off and stick end back up through stem and out top to weave in, and trim tail.<br />
3) Position leaf on hat with long tail towards the top, use long tail to sew top of leaf to top of hat, and st the next 3 sts going down in place. This will keep leaf in place and let it stick out. Knot off, and weave remaining tail in.<br />
4) Weave in any ends. You're done!<br />

I have badly neglected this blog, that much I know.<br />
<br />
Most of the things I'm making these days are for orders, and repeats of hats you've probably already seen here. And anything else? Well, I always forget to post it. Also, I don't know why, but I can never get posts to flow right when I'm posting about stuff I make, so they sound weird and I don't like to do them.<br />
<br />
So I'm gonna make some changes here on For His Glory Handiwork.<br />
<br />
In the past I've occasionally shared a few patterns. Now, that's about all I'll be sharing!<br />
<br />
Lots and lots of free patterns coming soon to you my lovely crocheting friends. Free patterns are about all I use, and all I want to offer to you!<br />
<br />
I'll be adding them to Ravelry, and have an easy way to view them here on the blog. I'll also have things up like what abbreviations stand for, and helpful links to size charts and things.<br />
<br />
I'll be sharing some other things too like links to some of my favorite patterns, and other crafting related stuff, but mostly new patterns.<br />
<br />
Along with this change, the blog will look a little different soon! :)<br />
<br />
Also, if you don't have a good way to follow along and get new updates for posts and patterns here, I will be making a facebook page soon too, so watch for that.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to the changes the future will bring here! Thanks for following along!<br />
Sarah<br />
<br />
P.S. Two of the things I used to post about here are Block Party Updates, which can now be found <a href="http://blockpartyukraine.weebly.com/">HERE</a>. And updates about my business, Handiwork for Orphans, which can now be found <a href="http://handiworkforelijah.weebly.com/">HERE</a>.

Now that you've seen the day in picture's let talk about the day in numbers... :)<br />
<br />
I was a bit concerned with the snow that we wouldn't have a very good turn out, but we did, <b><i>with a total of almost 30 people coming to help sew!</i></b><br />
<br />
We had 6 big blankets (twin size) pre-laid out before everyone arrived. We finished all six and another big one, <i><b>with a total of 7 big (twin size) blankets sewed!</b></i><br />
<br />
We had near 1300 blocks donated before the Block Party, and more were brought the day of, <b><i>with a total of 1769 blocks for this year!</i></b><br />
<br />
<i>Thank you</i> so much to Jill, Anna, Rachel, Isaac, Rebekah, Anita, Betty, Amy, Lora, Jenny, Sydney, Hazel, Ellie, Ellie, Tracy, Darlene, Jim, Jeanne, Laurie, Diane, Link, Sheri, Lisa, Lisa, Rochelle, Klara, Jocelyn, Heather, and anyone else I missed for coming and helping sew!!!!<br />
<br />
And thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person who made blocks, whether it was 1 or 1000, each one mattered!<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
Many people will feel the love stitched into each blanket, and they will be blessed because of your efforts. Each blanket and block is bring some joy and hope into the lives of the hopeless in Ukraine. <b><i>Thank you!</i></b></div>

Yup. So I failed at keeping this blog updated about the Block Party.<br />

Contrary to previously announced date, the Block Party HAS NOT happened yet. It's being held a week from tomorrow, on February 23rd (we moved it from the 2nd mainly due to me traveling).<br />
<br />
Here's this year's flier.<br />

In 2010, while in Ukraine, I made slippers for a sweet old lady at an adult mental institution. He name was Valla. A couple months later I blogged about it here. This is what I shared:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Most of the time we ministered in an adult handicapped home. We were at the facility most of the time but we also took them to outings to the beach a couple of times. We also go to visit the teen dorms, new mother dorms, baby orphanage, and children’s handicapped facility. There are only about 15 ladies at the adult handicapped home, and 300 men. One of these ladies is named Valla. From what I heard after, she had talked to almost everyone on our team (through a translator) and it just happened to be me who she talked to when she said she needed new slippers, because the ones she was wearing were getting old and had holes in them. I told her I would make some new ones and bring them to her next time I saw her. So I was able to go back to our apartment that night and crochet her a pair of slippers. I brought them to her the next day, and she loved them and kept saying how beautiful they were. It was so special to me that I was able to see what my hobby could do in the life of one of the lost and forgotten of Ukraine. I hope they fit her as she didn’t try them on as she was saving them for winter.</blockquote>
That was 2.5 years ago. Assuming she was wearing them all winter (or year) long, they would have been long worn out by now. When I heard that the mom of the kids I am staying with was going to that institution while she was in Ukraine, I knew I had to make Valla new slippers and send them with Stephanie. (She is in the same city I was, and I was at also the orphanage their new little guy is at.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqHEg5Ff-en7h5vGf7Wo9ilpvIG2rs4jIiboxUgTaViGffa9IIYRWlWQa5pknF6irMjflUMjyn_KtHd5vbl-EVfHy1xpo3tIXKH7lsSWHCMJjH9pIq4vffKbazEdkA3vVFuGl9xveIG_KM/s1600/valla+and+sasha.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqHEg5Ff-en7h5vGf7Wo9ilpvIG2rs4jIiboxUgTaViGffa9IIYRWlWQa5pknF6irMjflUMjyn_KtHd5vbl-EVfHy1xpo3tIXKH7lsSWHCMJjH9pIq4vffKbazEdkA3vVFuGl9xveIG_KM/s320/valla+and+sasha.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Here is Sasha (a sweet guy with Ds I also met at the institution, Valla, and Stephanie (the mom). It sounds like she really liked them... Stephanie said: <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">Valla got her slippers today. She wouldn't let go of my hand. The boy in the photo has a toothache. His face is even swollen. Pray for these lovely people please.</span><br />
<br />
It breaks my heart. They have nothing, and no hope. I can't be in there in person to minister to them and show them the love of Jesus, but I am soo blessed to be able to show Valla and others that they are loved in this small way and keep their feet warm.<br />

He likes my hat. He was smiling like crazy kept putting it back on when he would take it off. Love him!</div>

So, not that it hasn't been, but forgive me if my blogging is a bit sparse in the next few weeks. I am getting lots of crocheting done for some reason (I can't figure it out!), but not much worth blogging about or anything DONE enough to blog about. :)</div>

But.. one of the other little ones found my camera yesterday, and so here is a rarely seen picture of a work in progress. ;)</div>

A friend of ours asked me to make a lion hat for her little one's lion themed birthday. It was fun to make and a pain to make at the same time, but she really liked it, and he is absolutely ADORABLE in it, so it was worth it.</div>

And don't forget the real reason of Christmas - about the One who humbled Himself by coming down to earth as a helpless baby to save you from your sins!</div>

<i>What did you say?? Christmas is in 3 days?? Oh... ya I haven't thought that far ahead yet. Making Christmas presents isn't even on my radar yet! </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>What's that? Your Christmas presents are all made and done?? And even wrapped??? Well, good for you. I'm glad you have had lots of time to do that, and you are soo on top of things!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Why aren't I done yet? Why haven't I even started mine or decided what I'm making for that matter?? </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Well because, I just got home today from spending 3 weeks in another state caring for some awesome kiddos while their Mommy went to Ukraine to adopt their little brother. </i><i>There were 8 kids I was responsible for, the last week they were all on Christmas break, most of them were sick, and two of them ended up in the hospital with pneumonia and are still there. Crocheting really hasn't been very high on my priority list, nor have I had a lot of spare time on my hands.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>No, I'm not a saint. I'm tired, sick, and a bit cranky - not feeling very saint-like. I was just doing what God laid on my heart to do by helping them out in that way with their adoption.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Nice talking to you too. Glad you don't have to work on Christmas presents the next few days like someone else does. Good bye.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Just a conversation I am having over Blogger with my imaginary friend... ;) You should try talking with them sometime. It's fun.</div>

Isn't this turkey awesome? Right now, and through the next week, until the 8th of November, you can download it for free! It's not to often that you find great patterns like this for free. So, go over, right now, to <a href="http://www.crochetme.com/content/2012CrochetMeCalendarAmigurumi.aspx" target="_blank">Crochet Me</a>, and download it for yourself!</div>

Just realized that I never posted about Jimmy's Benefit on this blog! Below is a repost from my other blog.<br />

<br />
Tonight was Jimmy's benefit. I blogged about the benefit/him here. There was a great turnout, but no total yet!<br />
<br />
Rachel and I had a table of our stuff, including some Ghana flag themed items. :) The donation basket on our table (we did prices labeled as suggested donation, not actually sold it) $166 for Jimmy!! Praise God! Ironic thing is, that's the same amount as our farmers market last weekend for Lilly! :)<br />

Random facts about the sale:<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
-The weather was at one point predicting rain and wind, but PTL it was only cold! We took a chance not taking a tent, and at one point we thought we may have to squeeze under our nice neighbors tent.... the pink tent - the people on the other side of us were dressed up (last farmers market before the 31st) and they were freaking Rachel out because we couldn't figure out if the one ladies hair was a wig or real and she didn't take her sunglasses off ever (it wasn't sunny)... like I said, random facts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-We made $166 for Lilly, which is a LOT for a craft sale! Thank you Jesus!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-We had a newpaper reporter take pictures of friends of ours who stopped by our booth, and he was asking about our booth and Lilly and what we do. I said all the sales go to Lilly, who is a little girl waiting in a Russian orphanage for an adoptive family or something along those lines. He says "So she is from around here?" Umm no, you aren't understanding. ;) Don't know if anything will come out of it, but it was a great reminder how uneducated the majority of the population really is about the orphan crisis. Makes me want to advocate harder.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-We were cracking up at how many BOYS hats were getting brought for girls. Mostly for babies, but one teen girl who was with some friend bought one of the red with grey border 3-5 yo size owl hats in the pictures above. For herself!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-As one lady was paying, I said something to the effect of all money will go to helping orphans find families, and here's a business card (everyone was getting them with purchases). She says "That's nice. Oh I don't want that!" and put the business card down. Ummm ok. Some people you just gotta laugh at because it's ridiculously funny how rude they are. ;)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm tired and I'm going to bed now. 'Nite all!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About the only thing that comes to mind right now that I finished by myself this week without any part of it done by Rachel (she did part of the <a href="http://forhisgloryhandiwork.blogspot.com/2012/10/my-little-pumpkin-munchkin.html" target="_blank">pumpkin hat</a>) are these two hats for Steve and Shad Clanton. Maybe I should post stuff she and I worked on together anyways because she isn't posting FF herself?? Hmm.... And I should really start calling it Finished for the Clanton's, not Finished Friday!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pattern I based it off of can be found <a href="http://osuraccoon.blogspot.com/2010/10/pumpkin-hat-crochet-pattern.html" target="_blank">here @ nothing's creative anymore</a>. (I never follow any pattern exactly, and the fact I followed this one as close as I did without making major alterations is a huge compliment! ;)) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was very easy to make (not saying it was super quick, but it didn't take forever!), and very easy to adjust the pattern to the right size.</div>

I also finally got these two Angry Bird Hats done.... and again, I can't take all the credit as Rachel did most of the facial parts, and actually she did the main parts done as well.... I just sewed them together. (Which is the reason why I HATE making these - sewing them together!)<br />

I also have a football have almost done.. it's missing the stitches, and am working on several other hats, but you'll have to wait until next week to see those! :)<br />
<br />
It's hat season! Happy Friday!<br />

A crocheting/knitting tip that might be of help to you as it gets colder and we kick into making winter gear - when making scarves, I've found that the best way to figure out how long it should is to make it as long as the person who will be wearing it is tall. Of course, if you want a shorter or longer scarf that doesn't apply!<br />
<br />
On that note.. here are some scarf patterns that look like they are worth a try! :)<br />

Well, I'm home form NY (as of yesterday!)!! I didn't get too much done at the airport/on the plane, when I wasn't too tried to crochet or read I was reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kisses-Katie-Story-Relentless-Redemption/dp/1451612060" target="_blank">this book</a>, it's SOO good! (Thanks Summer!!) So anyways, all I got done this week was another pair of slippers.<br />
<br />
Last time they were for Yvonne, this time they are for Steve, Yvonne's son, and Selah's big brother. I forgot to take a picture before I sent them... thankfully Yvonne sent me one. So now I have a picture to blog! :)<br />

His feet are quite large, so I was a challenge getting them big enough and still keeping them the right proportions, but it looks like they fit! :)<br />

I haven't made slippers in a long time! I almost forgot how!! :) These slippers are for Yvonne, Selah's mommy. Clanton's are from Flordia, so being in upstate NY as it's getting colder is a little hard for them to adjust too. Plus Yvonne says they keep it really cold in Selah's room to keep her a good temp.<br />

I need some more things to blog about besides my projects and the Block Party....<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any questions for me, any questions about crocheting, any how-to's you want me to do, and patterns you want me to create/write? Reviews on different yarns, my opinions on techniques, help with a pattern not written well, etc?? Or anything else you want me to blog about??<br />
<br />
I need suggestions, and I want this blog to be helpful to you crocheters without recreating all the tutorials and things already on other's blogs.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help!<br />
<br />
Also, feel free to <a href="http://forhisgloryhandiwork.blogspot.com/p/contact-me.html" target="_blank">Contact Me</a> anytime with any crocheting question you have, and I'll get back to you right away so you can finish your project! :) I'm by no means an expert, but I do have a good amount of experience, and I have taught many people how to crochet. (Successfully! ;P)</div>
