Granny Ripple

Finally, after a few years of working on this it is finished. Well maybe I shouldn't say I was working on it because most of that time it just sat in my sewing basket. Anyways it was such an easy pattern to work on while sitting in front of the TV in the evenings. I prefer the easy patterns that I can work on night after night without having to have the pattern right in front of me to refer to with each stitch that I make.
I took a picture of it draped over Katie's headboard but I'm not so sure that I'm actually giving it to her. I don't really think that she will take care of it. We'll see. The bright colors in it just scream Katie. 
Oh, and speaking of Katie and her love of bright colors...I took her yesterday to get her eyes checked and of course she too needed glasses so she picked a pair of bright purple glasses. I'll have to sneak a picture of her wearing them once she gets them.
I'm off to enjoy the rest of our SNOW DAY.
Stay warm and safe!

Crocheted Snowman Cocoon


I saw the instructions for this on Pinterest a few months ago and thought it was so cute. Luckily I saved it because I have a baby shower to attend later this month and thought it would make a nice gift. I used Lion Brand Chenille yarn, which I had never used before, and a little larger crochet hook when I worked it up. I crochet very tight so it worked out even though I used the bigger hook. 
It took me a few days to make but was pretty simple. I'd say the worst part was having to sew on the buttons. I'm in love with the yarn that I chose. It is so soft. I think it will be my new baby favorite to use. Just wish they had it in a few more colors.
If you'd like the pattern you can hop on over to Repeat Crafter Me. Sarah has lots of fun patterns to try.
