Ahhh, Warm Weather

Oh how I love the warm weather. Finally warming up a bit here in NH. Although it's always perfect crocheting weather in the winter, I do look forward to the warmer weather. And I plan to continue on my crocheting projects. I have so many things on my "to do" list that I'm just going to knock them off one at a time. I usually wait until there's a need for something...like a baby coming to make baby things. Well, I'm not doing that anymore. I'm just going to make all the things I think are cute and I'll have them whenever the need comes up.

I've already got a great start on Christmas....in fact, I may even be done! LOL I have to check my inventory though.

I'm still working on the "Vintage Popcorn Granny Square" afghan, and I should have it ready for shipment to my friend by May 11th.

I just finished a paperback book cover tote that was a crochet along in my Forum. I really love this little tote, no one can spy on what you are reading at the beach or wherever you might be.. :)




Right now, I am working on a hat, but mostly working on the popcorn afghan. Well, that's about it in my crochet happy world...If you are interested in learning to crochet..and don't know where to start..you might want to check out my Website There is a variety of videos that you can learn from and you'll be crocheting in no time. I've received SO many responses back from people that have used my videos to learn crochet and they are so excited that they now know how to crochet....especially after trying to learn from books or pictures and directions. These videos are the way to go! Until next time...Happy Crocheting!

Sunsuit completed!



Well, I've completed the sunsuit I've been working on...I added some socks to go with the sunsuit! I was pleased with the way it came out.


I am now working on a paperback book cover that we are working on as a crochet along project in my Forum. It's using a basket weave design and coming along nicely. I'd love to have you join my Forum
We have a lot of fun there!

I've just put out another video on my Crochet Website
This video is a sock video. It takes you step by step through the creation of a sock. I picked the sock because socks can be a difficult project to complete. I think the next video will be a hat since I had a request for that.

I'm still working on the Vintage Popcorn Granny Afghan for my friend. I only have 4 more weeks to get it done..so I will be working on that a little more often in the next few weeks! I can't wait to see it when it's done..it has some pretty colors in it...... Pretty soon I'm going to have to find a scrap yarn project to do..my leftover yarn stash is building up...LOL

I'm still here...

I've just been busy with the Crochet Forum and the Crochet Site. Things are going well on those fronts. I've been working on alot of projects also. When I went to see my mother last weekend, she saw the poncho I made for myself and love it. She asked if I could make her one...so......say no more!!!! I was thrilled to make another one. Here's how her's turned out.... She loved it.








She's going to Maine to visit her best friend and staying with her for the spring/summer...so I wanted to do something for her friend. I made ponchos for her grandchildre. The poncho and hat set that is in a previous post will go to the 8 year old granddaughter, then I made a poncho yesterday for the toddler. It came out pretty cute!











In my Crochet Forum we did a crochet along working on a granny square bag. The all came out really nice. Here's mine:

Right now I am working on a baby sunsuit for my niece's baby that is due next month. So I need to have that done as well as my friend's popcorn granny square afghan. The afghan is coming along great!
