Summertime Crochet Shell!

.

So I finally finished the cute tank top I have been working on!  It turned out better than I imagined it would!  Usually when I make myself a garment it doesn’t fit as well as this one does… I made a couple adjustments to the pattern, but this is a super simple, quick pattern if you are looking for something to make for yourself this summer!  It is on Ravelry for a free download, by Kim Guzman… Shell Shell is the name of the pattern…Click here to check it out.  I made mine using a Black Cotton Yarn from Knit Picks!  It is a little hard to see the details in the picture, but it is really cute… I am going to buy some bright Cami’s to where under it so it shows off the pattern!  Tell me what you think!!!

I added some extra rows to the shoulder area and finished all the edges with a reverse sc, those were the only changes needed to make it to my taste!… This is a size small…

I am about halfway done with my next True Colors Afghan for my Etsy Shop… I will post the pictures when it’s done…  Summer seems to be a slower time for crochet… But I still do a couple of hours each evening!

Crazy Good Mat Pattern Test….

.

A few days ago, I mentioned I was testing a pattern for one of my favorite Crochet Websites… Felted Button.  The pattern is called Crazy Good Mat!  It is a super cute project and I was so excited to work on this mat!  I made a smaller version of the original pattern… The original pattern will be the size of an average mat… The one I made is 12″ x 12″… I am going to use it for a seat cover for my antique children’s rocking chair… My Grand Children will love it!

.

Here are a few photos of the finished test project… I will definitely be making a full size mat soon!  Make sure to watch her website for the release of the pattern!

Small Steps…

.

I am so excited today is here!  All the hard work making tons of crochet projects for my display at Alpine Originals for the Art Walk this evening… And now I  get to show it all off!  I couldn’t resist last night making a couple new items though!!!  I thought I would make one more pair of Skimmer Slippers using the pattern I bought a couple of years ago over at hookcandy.com… The pair I made a few days ago already had sold and I thought it would be nice to make one more pair for the Art Walk…

.

I couldn’t resist the temptation of something new… I had been talking to my Sister-In-Law Laura a couple of weeks ago about the pattern and we were saying how much we both love making these slippers,,, She then told me she had also purchased the children’s pattern and LOVED it!  So… I hopped over to  Hook Candy and purchased the children’s pattern!   I couldn’t wait to get home to give it a try… They were so easy and quick,,, I whipped these up in just a couple of hours and they will be the final touch for my display… Debbie at Alpine Originals had just mentioned how much people liked seeing Baby Items in the store!  We live in such a small town,,, Sometimes it’s hard to find what you need,,, Now,, They can find Baby Skimmer Slippers!
