What's News These Days!

WoW been a While since I've popped in to say Hello!

Things have certainly been busy, but with no real movement in the productivity department.  I am currently working on three different afghans and they are moving slowly

1.  My temp afghan, we're 60+ days into 2016 and my afghan is HUGE already! Thinking I am going to split it at the end of June so one child gets the first 1/2 of the year and the other gets the other 1/2.

2.  My daughter's Girl Scout afghan is still moving along, getting close to the decrease portion of it so I can finish it off and get the border on it, then I'm going to try and put a fleece backing on it.

3. The Harry Potter CAL - still stuck on the crest, I've put it down because I want to finish Ashley's blanket first.

And in the middle of all of this I've produced a Sock Monkey hat and several other Dobby's - check them out!

I just Love making these House Elves! Aren't they cute?!?

So that's what's new with me!

What's on your Hook?!?!

My 2016 Project Wish List

Good Monday Afternoon Hookers!

How is everyone's project list rolling?  I still have a LOT to get done, let's see

1. The Harry Potter Crochet-A-Long, yeah still working on the crest.
2. The Girl Scout Logo Blanket I posted last week - no more progress has been made on that.
3. Another Braided Cowl to get over to the Retail Location, have one made, want to make one more.
4. A Dobby the House Elf, need three of these - one is an Etsy Order, one will be for the giveaway I am running on my Facebook Page (click here to enter) and then another one in case I get another order.
5.  Finish compiling notes from the testers for my recent hat pattern - here's a photo of the finished product, I've had 8 others send me their final projects and I am pleased with the results I'm seeing!

Whew TONS going on!

So then why do I have a Wish list of things I'd like to do that's a million miles long?

Then there's a secondary graph pattern that I'd like to try - instead of doing the Corner-to-Corner pattern I am used to doing, you instead make a small square for every block in the graph and assemble them into the picture, I think that would be really cool, I am calling it Crochet Quilting

But then I have this innate desire to make something super cute for my nephew's 1st Birthday - he got a lot of Sock Monkey stuff for Christmas, so thinking about going a Sock Monkey Hat...

So those are some of the main projects I have a burning desire to do! Not entirely sure why, just do!

But I think the main goal is to just up the sales on my shop and find more ways to make a little pocket money doing what I Love!

I think that's all for today!

I am hoping to have my next hat pattern published by the end of the Week! I am thrilled with it and the testers have given me a LOT of really positive feedback!

Happy Hooking One and All!

Just Because it's Girl Scout Cookie Season Doesn't Mean it's All About the Cookies!

Good Friday Morning Crocheters!

Yup you read that right, Girl Scout Cookie Season is underway! However, we're Girl Scouts year round, and in honor of that I started last fall a project for my daughter who is a Scout, she's a 2nd Year Junior and just an amazing young lady!

Here's the Project in Progress right now

So I shared this on the Girl Scout Gabber Group on Facebook and the Mom's there asked for the graph.  Well it was lost when my computer crashed last fall, so I had to start over, and today I finished it!

I adjusted the pattern so it's bigger and will make a full-size afghan vs. the lapghan/wall hanging size you see here.

So for those Crocheting GS Moms/Dads and others who know a Scout, here's a link to the PDF Pattern
