crocheting on the road

im taking a ten hour road trip. and im getting together some suplies so that i can crochet if i am able. plus a whole weekend of sitting and listening to seminars.
so im getting together some patterns for the purses for the older girls from God's Resort.
this one is a pattern from 1944. very vintage.
a granny square hat for a pattern for the kids. im not completaly sure. hopefully i can find another partn i like more.
this link is an interesting one called spike stitch. i think i would work great for a scarf and a purse.
another pattern for the yarn i have for A's scarf. i will have to look into it when i get back. A manly beane pattern, just in case y decide to make a boy a hat.
a shell hat pattern for little brenda, it has a pompom on the top! how cute!
also a cap with a brim. i think it makes it look really modern, ans if you use the right color of yarn it wont look so homemade.
this one is a nubby brim. its very old fashion, but for a little girl i think it will work just fine.
some free patterns. in particular a lacy flower granny square type thing and also a snow flake blanket.
here is a thro blanket worked in pannels. a pannel by it self could be a scarf. dont ya think? i think a test run should be taken!
another pattern, lacy kind. called windom blue scarf. i might use it for an adult. a one skein scarf also on this site a purse that has a square pattern that i would like to learn how to do.
a patern for a flower, i really like it because the pettals are realy defined invidualy. ill just past it so i can find it easy

Push gathered sts against center ch (the ch all dtr were worked into) to flatten; dtr will fold in half and make “spokes” around the center ch – this is the right side of the flower center.


Secure center in this position with a stitch or two. Bring ends of flower center through the center of the flower; tie all ends together tightly; trim. Sew or glue pin back to wrong side of flower. Form each petal with fingers into curved shapes as shown. Spray heavily with hair spray on top and underside of petals. Reshape petals if necessary. Allow to dry.
