It's been a bit of a weird day today, and I haven't done any crocheting. So, instead of an update on the candy hearts project, I'm going to show off yet another one of my awesome creations. This is one that I made for my niece when she was born. I got the pattern off the internet,

 

I did find the pattern for the granny squares off the internet, form here

The pattern shown is all white, but I just switched from the flower colour to green for the background at about round 9 I think. It's been a while since I made it. I think this has to be one of my favourite things that I've created. It was a lot of work but it turned out beautiful. And if you'd like of one these yourself but don't know how to crochet or don't have the time, just leave a comment below or contact me through facebook, and I'll get back to you!

 

Hope you are all doing well! Have a great night and keep smiling.

January 22, and I'm well on my way on being completely caught up! Or rather, I am caught up as far as things go. I'm right around the halfway mark on this project, and I know I'll easily be able to finish it up in the 2 days that I have left. So here we go.

This is the Baby Doll Puff Shell Afghan, designed by Maggie Weldon at Maggie's Crochet

I'm using the Baby Luv that I used with the granny waves blanket, 100% acrylic. And here is what I have so far.

This is a great pattern. I love the way it looks, and I definitely want to make a full-sized baby blanket with this stich pattern someday. It's quite simple, considering the effect that it creates. The pattern calls for a couple of rows of another color, but I decided to make the base white and then make the border blue.

Well, that's it for this project. But I've got a bunch of stuff on eBay for sale that you can find in the "For Sale" page over to the right. Check it out and let me know what you think.

January 19 - Infinity cowl completed!

Well, the cowl is completed. It's so nice! Cozy and warm. And so soft!! I love it. So it took me a total of four hours to complete from start to finish. And yesterday I forgot to say that the color is Dark Country Blu, no dye lot. I also made it from a medium weight yarn. So, for this pattern I added two extra rows just so that it would be a little wider. Final dimensions are approximately 52 inch circumference and 5.25 inch width. And here is Maggie to model it.

Maggie has the infinity cowl here, paired with a toque I made a few months ago from my own pattern. It's made of Caron Simply Soft, and the colour is Country Blue. It didn't take quite a full skein to make the cowl, and I am really pleased with how it has turned out. I've decided that I am going to try to sell it as a set. $20 for both of them, free shipping. Check out the 'For Sale' page to the right to learn more!

And yes, that is a Christmas tree in the back. Haven't taken it down yet.

Happy New Year's Eve!

I put in another hour and a half about last night on the blanket, but there isn't much more of an update on that front, so I decided to showcase some previously-made works that I now have for sale on Ebay!

These are Cloud 9 Slippers. I made a few of them for Christmas presents this year and kept a pair for myself, and I absolutely love them. They are so comfortable and cozy that just like the name implies, they're like walking on clouds. They're really warm as well.

They're made from Bernat Blanket yarn, 100% polyester, and you can machine wash and dry them. Right now they're only available in the turquoise and red that are featured above, but come in US size 5-10. You can find the listing on Ebay at:

For those of you who are crocheters, you can find the pattern by The Lavender Chair online here:

With this New Year's Eve, remember to be responsible and stay smiling!
