Sweet Baby Hat for Spring

When I found out my good friend had a baby girl, I couldn't wait to crochet a girly pink hat for her. I ended up finding a pattern on Pinterest and adding on a little flower to make it a bit more feminine.

Here is the pattern to the hat http://www.whistleandivy.com/2013/04/faux-ribbon-baby-hat.html. I used Rowan handknit cotton yarn so had to adjust a bit for gauge but I really like the colours so made it work.

The pattern for the flower embellishment can be found at http://www.alittlebirdtoldme-craft.com/2010/10/crochet-flower-tutorial.html.

Handmade - Just for You!

Last weekend I attended my first ever Christmas market to sell some of my handmade items. I have been very excited about this and started working on inventory months ago. As I have been telling my friends and family about the sale, all sorts of people have been asking me to make certain items for them. I am very flattered that my items are taking off and that people are buying them (and that I'm currently backlogged on orders!) but I have come to realize that I need to formulate a plan for future sales and craft fairs so that I'm not caught in a scramble the week before each sale to whip up some more items. As part of getting organized, I am posting items and prices on this blog so that people can easily see the items I make and also what the pricing is. Face Cloths These soft face cloths are made of durable 100% cotton and are machine washable. They come in a variety of modern colours and have a loop for easy hanging. $3 each or 2 for $5 Reusable Makeu

Sophie's Universe has taken over my universe

It has been a long while since I blogged partially just because life is busy and partially because I have been crocheting like a fiend. I have been a Ravelry member for a while but had only joined so that I could get access to free patterns. Recently, I started adding project pages and joined some groups to help me out and provide support for a CAL that I joined in the spring. Within the comments on that group, people kept mentioning "Sophie". At first I just breezed over these comments but then I saw some pictures of the Sophies people were working on and I immediately fell in love. Sophie's Universe was designed by Dedri Uys and she is nothing short of brilliant. I cannot wrap my mind around how she came up with this design, let alone wrote a clear pattern for us to create her beautiful work of art for ourselves. Everything you need to know to create a Sophie for yourself (or one of her other amazing designs) can be found on Dedri's amazing website
