Just finished this poncho for my 2½ year old granddaughter. No pattern, just made it up as i worked along. Yarn is Red Heart Roly Poly, colorway is called ‘Happy’. It is 19″ (48cm) from shoulder/neck to bottom edge, and 22″ (56cm) width side-to-side. This was a request from my son and his fiancée for […]
Hugs and Kisses Baby Blankets
I had three granddaughters make their appearance into this crazy world recently. One born in late September, and fraternal twins born in late December. I made each of them one of these blankets, but not identical in color. The pattern is free, and can be found on the Crochet Crowd website. There are also YouTube […]
Elephant Lovey
Finished this Cuddle Buddy Lovey for my sister-in-law to give to her friend’s daughter. It’s the daughter’s first pregnancy and baby, and the first grandchild altogether! So exciting! They chose to not learn the gender ahead of the birth, so I went with a fairly neutral theme. I used I really wanted to put a […]
Casablanca Mosaic Afghan (completed)
I FINISHED THE BEAST!!! lol Finally got it all done! I may try for better pictures another time, but…. here it is!!! I left pillows off the bed so you can see the entire blanket. There is the same amount of drape on the other side of the bed, but I didn’t take a pic […]
Mouse Lovey
Made this Mouse Lovey for my boss’s first grandchild. She was born several weeks early on Leap Day. I think it may be bigger than the sweet little newborn! Grandma and Mom loved the mouse, and I hope Baby Girl did too! For those who are unsure what a Lovey is, it’s basically a piece […]
Creeper Pillow
Made this for my grandson Z for his birthday. He is a Leap Day baby, so he has an “actual” birthday this year! He is semi-obsessed with Minecraft. Didn’t have the ambition to make all the pixel squares, so I used “camouflage” yarn. Hope he likes it! It was pretty easy to make. I just […]
Quick Dishcloths
This used to be a huge thing… crocheted or knit dishcloths. Not so much anymore… But I still love them! Some of the ones I’ve made I’ve had for several years! And if they do wear out, they are really easy to replace. Just make more! I have not bought sponges in years because I […]
Bailey’s Dog Sweater
My nephew’s fur baby, Bailey. She’s strutting her stuff in the new sweater I made for her. She is such a great dog! I can’t recall where I found the pattern, but I modified it quite a bit, because this adorable girl is a bit barrel chested! But she looks so darn good in royal purple!! […]
Sunrise Over Lake Champlain
Something different. No yarn, no recipe… just simple beauty… View from Cumberland Bay on Lake Champlain, Plattsburgh, NY. Looking eastward toward Grand Isle, Vermont and the Green Mountains beyond.
Controlled Chaos?
I love to create with yarn! I’m also sort of a pattern hoarder. I have probably THOUSANDS of patterns saved on my computer and in cloud storage. I can’t help it! I read patterns (and cookbooks) like other people read novels. I know I’ll never use every single pattern I have, but you know… someday […]
