Early morning!

I guess it's an early morning for me today! My guess....the 2 king size blankets I need to make before Christmas lol. Yeah. I'm just assuming anxiety. But hey the earlier I'm up the longer I have to work on my many projects! :) It's a good thing I LOVE to crochet haha! But I need to get my granny on and start stitching out some squares! I'll definitely be back around later! Wish me luck!

Baby Booties!

My first attempt at baby booties! I love them!

For Pam's Grandbaby :)

Whoa!

Ok! So I've just received some great but slightly stressing news! My husband has been promoting my crochet and it has taken real quick! Now I have 2 king size blankets to make before Christmas along with a baby blanket, some booties, and my Mom's cross-stitch lol. I need to get started RIGHT NOW! But hey you never know how great you can be until you're pushed to the max! :) Now I just have to find some good patterns because I always love doing something different!

This is my first actual sale item! :)
Also my first post-stitch baby blanket! It also had a matching wrap for the car seat!

photos!


These were my first attempt at slippers! :) The came out great but they stretched out too much
so I definitely invested in a different type of yarn even though I still swear
by Caron Simply Soft!



Love The Zig Zag pattern! I made this for my cousin's new baby
boy! I wanted to do something different
than the stereotypical baby blanket!




These are my second try at slippers! Much, much better!!
I used I Love This Yarn!
Works great! :)

:)

So, this was my very first project when it came to crochet! It's a baby blanket for what I call my niece :) but she is technically my cousin's daughter and I figured, what better way to start! It actually came out really well and it really gave me the motivation to get better!

Can't Sleep!

So, this is my first jab at blogging but hey it can't be that hard! 

Well, I've only been crocheting for about 10 months now but I have progressed a lot faster than I expected! I surprise myself with some of the things I'm able to do just by reading patterns.  I love learning so many different things and seeing how far I can push myself. 

I would definitely call myself a crochet addict! My iPhone is filled with crochet patterns that I find when I get bored.  Heck, crochet even effects my sleep haha.  I'm always just laying around thinking of new ways to do things and patterns and what looks good and what's in style.  I will definitely give all credit to Google though!  If it weren't for Google, I never would have been able to broaden my crochet abilities!

But, I'm always looking to try something new, whether it's new patterns or new stitches!  I just love the art of crochet!
