This is my version that I made earlier this week!!

.

Last night I sat down to create a new item for Alpine Originals (the local shop I sell in)…  Last year I whipped up some cute little beanbag owls for kids…They were a big hit…  I wanted to make something different for this shopping season… First, I made some Magic Balls of yarn,,, I found this technique for using scraps of yarn in a fun way over on Fresh Stitches...  Then I crocheted this cute little doll… She is about 5′ tall and worked up quickly…

Her name is Rainbow Rachael

I love her hair and it reminds me of my wonderful sister-in-law Rachael… She has fabulous curly hair!!!  I was wondering if you like this latest creation and if you would like another FREE PATTERN???  Let me know by commenting on this post!!

On another side note… My Shells and Bobbles Fingerless Glove Free Pattern was featured on Hookin on Hump Day #60…  It was 3rd place… So exciting!!!

Quick Crochet Giftables…

.

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend I had lots of Grandsugar and family time…  All my children were home with their kids and we had a blast!!! We attended the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting along with Santa’s Workshop… We ate so much food, talked till we couldn’t and stayed up late!  Sunday afternoon after the kids headed home,,, It was time to get my hook out and get some quick crochet projects done… Time to stock up for Christmas!..

.

Last week over on Facebook I featured some really cute items in my daily Free Pattern Find segment… They were really popular with all of you and so I thought I would make some of them up… The first project was an adorable Animal Wash Mit…. the pattern is free and worked up easily… It was by chart and written instruction…

The second project I worked up was another Facebook favorite… Victorian Candy Cane Covers… They were very fast!!!  I made 12 of them in just a couple of hours!!
