Been Busy Again!

Good Sunday Afternoon Crocheters!

I've been busy again this week...I mean seriously I'm out of work and there's one computer in the house that useable for searching for work...so what else do I have to do...CROCHET duh!

So once I finished the Christmas afghan I moved onto finishing the Halloween one I started weeks ago, got it finished and here it is!

So once that was finished, I also found a cute pattern for a Dobby the House Elf!

So once Dobby & The Halloween Afghan were finished my son Asked me to make him a Terriermon Toy (A Digimon Character) so we did some digging online and found a pattern, here is the finished product

So then when he was done, it was mid-afternoon on Halloween and I decided I needed a hat to wear while the kiddos were trick-or-treating, enter this beauty

And last but certainly not least, my daughters kindergarten teacher sent me a message on Facebook wondering if I could make this for her

This is a finger crochet pattern that's sold out, so I decided to see what I could come up with that might be remotely close to this, and here's what I came up with

It may not be 100% close, but I sent the woman these pics, so we'll see what she says.

So what have ya'll be working on?

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!

Good Evening Crocheters!

I've been busy the last several days, yesterday I made a cute little girl bunny, all the while writing up her pattern that I'll share here later in the week.  Then I also finished the lattice wrap I've been working on and made a hat for my daughter!

Whew, like I said busy!

Check out the end products here

Both were my own creations - no patterns, just freeform crochet! Got some help with Hops' ears (brown one) but otherwise both mine!

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

FINALLY Got me a Head Form so I could show off...

Good Friday Evening Crocheters!

Hope Everyone's had an awesome week!

It's been good here...being unemployed sucks, but I am trying to make the best of it.

That being said I just had to make a Hobby Lobby run the other night with my son, he's requested a new Christmas Stocking and I figured, meh why not! I'd just finished one for my nephew, why not make him one too...sooo...while I was there I picked up a Styrofoam head form so I could show off some hats/scarves I've made recently!

Check it out

This set is probably my Favorite! The Andy Wrap Scarf & Hat!  I am in love with the Oatmeal color and texture of the Vanna White yarn!

Patterns:

I made the hat without a pattern, but later found one on Pinterest, click here to get the pattern from Rescued Paws Designs

The Scarf Pattern is also located on her website, click here for the Pattern

This set isn't quite finished yet - I need to add to the scarf and add some buttons to both the hat & the scarf, then it'll be done.

Patterns:

You can find the Hat Pattern here from Melanie Ham (BTW she's one of my Favorite Designers, just LOVE her stuff!)

And the Scarf can be found on Crafty Red's Site here.

Have Fun Kids!

Productivity...Productivity...Unemployment = Productivity

Hello Crocheters!

Are you catching a theme here?  Being home, unemployed means when I am not taking my turn looking for work, Hubby is also unemployed, I am hooking.  Which means a TON is getting done!

Lately I've finished the top banner for my Christmas blanket, finished two more squares for the Halloween blanket, made some more baskets and some doggie hats...check it out! No pic of the banner, waiting to get the bottom one done before I share them...I know I'm teasing ;-)

This pattern is my own, I used a Bulky yarn and some of the basics of making an Amigurumi to Put it together last night

Pattern Altered from Niftynnifer's Dog Hat Pattern, Link to Pattern in Image

Still working on the Halloween squares, have three more to do before its completely finished and ready for assembly, I honestly can't wait to see the finished product.

I've also been asked for the pattern for my Christmas basket, I am going to work that up as soon as I can, along with the Rabbit I shared earlier this week!

That being said, for all the non crocheters who are following-along, if you want your own Crochet Creation, please check-out my Etsy Shop!  I've added the baskets and will be adding the doggy hats as options!

And, I am still running my special for Buy One Stuffy, Get one 1/2 Off!

Being Unemployed Has its Perks...I've Gotten Crochet Happy!

Good Sunday Evening Crocheters!

Hope Everyone has had a great week! It's been a very busy one here for sure - this past week I've been home, unemployed, taking a week off post layoff to rest my head, recoup and just recover from working or 5 years straight with no breaks.

So in that regard I've spent the week doing nothing but Crocheting! Got a border on my Christmas Squares, finished two more Halloween Squares (which I need to photograph) and made two hat/scarf sets that need buttons before I'll photograph them, and a couple of baskets + a Rabbit!

For now I can share some pics of the Rabbit and the Baskets...I didn't have a pattern for him, and just opted to wing it to see if I could create something without one, here's what I came up with:

The entire thing less his ears is winged, I got a little help from another blogger (can't find the blog again - sorry) but the carrot and his tail are 100% mine!  Super Happy with him!

Then the other night it was getting late and I was bored while watching TV and threw this together

It sits all of 6" tall and is roughly 8" at its base, but I am thrilled with it!

So then I decided to try and use a varigated yarn to see what sort of pattern I'd get and BAM! This happened last night!

The base is about 2" wide with the top at about 6" wide with a lid! I am pleased with the end result for sure!!!

Thoughts?!?!

I am going to add the baskets and bunny to my Etsy Shop, so come on over and check them out!

Remember, Buy one Stuffed Animal, Get One 50% Off! That'll include the Rabbit!
