Snowy day and some crochet



Hello, It's already March and this is my first post of the year!  I've been working on writing some of my patterns down.  I need to try writing them as I go so it doesn't take as long lol.  This is the one I'm currently working on writing a pattern for-


Here are some other things I've been making this year-

Flower bookmarks made with Knit Picks Curio thread and a 1.5 mm hook.


This bookmark has a shamrock charm on the tassel

A Valentine's Day angel with hearts on her wings and skirt

A heart ornament

This is my current project!  The pattern is called State of the Art.  I'm on round 42 and using size 20 thread with a 1.25 mm hook.

I will try to post more frequently and also get these patterns written down!  Here's one last picture from today.  After some warm weather I guess winter is back!

Mini Stockings and pot holders


I was looking through some patterns I bought from a sale last year at e-Patterns Central.  One of the patterns I had to make were these mini stockings!  They are in the book Christmas in Crochet, Holiday 2013 and designed by Mickie Akins.  The stockings measure about 2" and I used size 10 thread with a 1.75 mm hook.  


I've also been making mini pot holders!  These are from the book Silhouette Hot Mats designed by Fances Hughes.  I used Aunt Lydias crochet thread and a 1.75 mm hook.

Here are some other things I've been working on-

This is a set of 2 pot holders (normal sized lol)

One of the new bookmarks I listed in my etsy shop.  It has a snowflake charm on the tassel.

Small cross bookmarks in the colors red, light blue, and muted lavender.  

I've been packaging lots of orders!  For this one I used a snowflake bag and ribbon :D

The top and bottom pictures are of two different angels.  I have three more of them to make.  The pattern is Pineapple Seraphim designed by Cylinda Mathews.

Halloween update


I wanted to share some things I've been making for Halloween!  This is a spider bookmark I made yesterday.  I want to try combining a few of them to make a spider doily!  

A candlestick dripping red wax.  I will try to have patterns available for this and the spider bookmark soon.

Orange flower bookmark with black leaves.

October Pumpkin doily by Karla Hartzell.

Fall Splendor doily designed by Gemma Owen.

Mister Fox visiting a spooky forest.  The pattern is by Sharon Ojala.


This isn't crochet related but I've been playing the World of Warcraft Legion expansion and love it!  My warlock recently got a new artifact weapon appearance and the title Netherlord.  Here she is holding up the new weapon.

I got the artifact fishing pole last night!  Now I need to catch more rare fish to unlock all of the traits.

A Few Projects

These are two doilies I'm working on.  One of them is a gift for my grandmother and I couldn't decide between white or ecru lol.  The pattern is called Majestic by Patricia Kristoffersen.  It's one of my favorites!  I'm using size 10 thread and a 1.75 mm hook.

Here is the white doily with a few more rounds completed.  Also shown are some other doilies that I'm making.

These are mini pot holders that can be used as ornaments or for decoration.  They measure 2 1/2 to 2 3/4".  The patterns are in the book Silhouette Hot Mats by Frances Hughes.  I used size 10 thread and a 1.75 mm hook.


A cross bookmark with an angel wing charm on the tassel.  The pattern is called Gothic Cross in the book Marks of Faith Bookmarks by Annie Potter.

Round doily by Mayumi Kawai in the book Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts Lacy Crochet.  It's a great pattern and only 16 rounds.  I've made it twice and plan on making more in different colors!

Succulents and a doily that kinda matches lol

A Few Projects

This past week I made two doilies and worked on some orders.  I'm also preparing to update my etsy shop with more doilies, bookmarks, and other things soon! :D  Here are a few crochet projects that I've been working on-    

I finished this order of flower bookmarks yesterday.  The pink flower is made with Garden size 10 thread in pink and fern.  The red flower is made with Knit Picks Curio in Hollyberry and Ivy.  The light lavender flower is made with Knit Picks Curio in Ice Lily and Sagebrush.  All three flowers are made with a 1.75 mm hook.

    
I'm almost finished with an order for 100 bookmarks.  Just a few more to go and then I will block them and make the tassels!  The pattern is called Picot, Picot by Annie Potter.

                       

For this doily I used size 10 thread and a 1.5 mm hook.  The pattern is called Pineapple Portrait by Patricia Kristoffersen.  It's in the book Masterpiece Doilies, available in her etsy shop.  




This is an order i'm working on to recreate a doily.  There will be 24 motifs which are crocheted together.  The pattern seems close to Pinwheels Turning but sort of different.  I'm using size 30 thread and a 1.00 mm hook.  

This doily is made with Knit Picks Curio thread in white and a 1.75 mm hook.  It measures 10 1/2".
