Off the Hook Crochet

These owl hats worked up really quickly and turned out super cute! I used the gauge but they still seemed a little big at first. Don’t worry, this is normal. They fit the kids like a charm! Now I want one, lol!

Recently made this baby blanket for a co-worker that just loves green! I used a free afghan pattern that I like (http://bloomingknitter.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/bubble-afghan/) and just adjusted the size. The blanket has a raised bubble pattern on one side (hard to see in the picture) that gives it a nice texture. The flower is actually my first ever attempt at needle felting! 

I will be teaching an amigurumi class at my local library this June. These little monsters will be our project. I wrote the pattern myself with inspiration from this pattern: ( http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-monster-beginner-amigurumi ).

I made this monkey for my niece by holding two pieces of yarn together as I crocheted. If you use a previously used ball of yarn (like I did) I would suggest wrapping it into your own center-pull ball.

Made these little baby booties over the weekend! It is a purchased pattern, but well worth the $3.99! The shop I bought it from has some of the cutest baby-crochet patterns I have ever seen! I have also made her “orange flower booties” before. Her patterns can sometimes take a little bit of deciphering but they are always accurate & have helpful pictures.

I just completed this comissioned baby blanket! I am still going to add a little flower embelishment in one corner.
This is one of my favorite blanket patterns. It works up quickly, is always soft & cute! (And best of all FREE! http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/cpl-bafg.html )

Made another Amigurumi Batman today for an Etsy Commission!
I think he turned out great!
