IT'S DONE IT'S DONE IT'S DONE!!!

Good Evening Crocheters!

I finally have finished my Christmas Squares Afghan! I opted for a Multi-Colored Varigated Metallic yarn that just  looks like a Candy Cane for the border (Hubby has 100% input there,was his choice)

I am thrilled with the final product!

Christmas is Coming...And in Our House That's Meant a Christmas Crochet-A-Long!

Good Evening Crocheters!

Tonight I am happy to announce I've finished the banners for the Christmas Squares afghan!

So thrilled with the way they've turned out, I still need to stitch the whole thing together, but I am soo excited with the way it turned out!

Please excuse the crud photos, lighting in our room is horrid and the afghan only fits on our king bed

 Super Super Excited about these! I just LOVE them!

Now here's the entire thing in pre-assembly getting the layout together

What do you guys think?

So in between working on these lovelies, I also managed to make another basket! This time all one color!  And slightly bigger than the other one!

So now on my hook I have a scarf in Lattice pattern I'm working on for myself to match a hat I made last week!

Here are the patterns!

So then I went looking for a Scarf Pattern that would offset this beautiful hat (which I wear ALL the time) and found this lovely pattern! Super Simple too!

So that's what I've been up to lately! Got another Halloween Block finished but failed to take a pic of it, will take one when I finish the next square!

Have a Lovely Evening Crocheters!

And then to give myself a break from working up these squares I decided to use up some of my stash and make some items, first was a basket - my first! I am very happy with it!

Pattern Found at Melanie KM's Blog, link in image

And then two items I created on my own without patterns! An ear warmer and a hat for myself!

I am also in the process of working-up a corner-2-corner pattern scarf to go with the hat!

So what's everyone been up to?  What's on your hook this rainy weekend?

More Projects Completed - Yet There's Always More to Start

Good Saturday Afternoon Crocheters!

Hope Everyone is having a Great Day So Far! I know I am!

Spent the better part of the last week finishing up some projects - rather portions of projects - and now we're getting ready to start another Christmas Square, and a Hat & Scarf package.

So what did we get done?  Well I added a hat & a lovey to the shell baby blanket I posted about last week, remember?

I completely free-handed the Lovey and I like it - the face is throwing me off...

But hopefully the lovely woman who ordered it will love it! It was a gift added to the order!

THEN yesterday I worked more on the Halloween Bobble Graph blanket I started - adding a Pumpkin to the Candy Corn

This one was trying to say the least, had to pull out that 3rd row several times, and in the end I just left it the way it was...needs some blocking, but I'm happy with it.

And last but certainly NOT least, the Elf Square from the Repeat Crafter Me Facebook Group Crochet-A-Long!

Here's the graph as a refresher

AND my finished product! I am thrilled with him!

Can I just say I am addicted to the C2C Graphs? The Bobble ones are trying on the hands, but I love that too!

So What's Everyone Up To this Weekend? What do you have on the Hook?

Order Your Own Crochet Creations from my Shop! I am gearing up for Christmas Orders, and starting to work on Specialized Christmas items NOW!

Finishing Touches are What Make it Special

Good Thursday Morning Crocheters!

Hope Everyone is Doing Well This Morning! It's Rainy & Cool here in the Port City, so we're hanging out indoors for the most part today.  No worries there's always a hook & some yarn to keep up occupied ;-)

Anyhew, the other day I posted a shell baby blanket I'd made for a former co-worker, well she requested the shell border on the sides, so of course I obliged, check out the finished product!

You can also see the color a LOT better in these pictures.  I also have a hat to add to this set to complete it, BUT that means a trip to Hobby Lobby, oh darn LOL!!!

I also had another order for a teddy bear, this one was very specific about what they wanted, but I was able to add some creative liberties to it! I started using this Lions Brand pattern, but finished by winging most of it, and I am proud of the end result and the customer is happy!

Cute Huh?!?! Now I've finished all my orders I can re-direct my attention back to the two Crochet-A-Long's I'm working on, I finished square #2 in the Christmas one last night - still need to weave in some ends and add a border (again need to hit Hobby Lobby) before I'm going to share a pic of my finished product, but here's the Graph

So that's where I am at right now!

I am Opening my Shop for Specialized Small Christmas and Halloween Items in Preparation for the Holidays Coming Up! So Jump on Over to the Shop NOW to Order Your Own Creations!

Square # 1 in the Christmas C.A.L is DONE!!!

Good Friday Morning Crocheters!

Tried to do him in the Bobble Square, but no success - started the normal C2C and had an issue, lost my place on the Graph and had to start over again, but I got it done last night!

Finishing touches went on this morning!

Here's the Graph

And my Final Product!

SUPER Excited!!!!
