My First Blog!!!

So this is me entering the blogging world. I am so far behind on the internet trends! My hope is to use the social world to get my craftyness out there. I learned crochet a very long time ago from my Great Grandmother Halvorson when I was little. I played around with it throughout high school but never really got into crocheting until she passed away in April of 2013. I only wish that she should see what I do now, this is all thanks to her. I also knit but not as much as I would like to, I am still new to that world as well (since late 2012.)

This week in the spirit of fall/halloween season I made up a couple of Pumpkin Hats for toddlers. So cute...
 
My next was going to be making Turkey Hats but I have MAJOR ADD when it coming to my crafting ideas so I started graphing out pattern charts for some of the SuperHero geeks in my family. So far I have made Green Lantern, Batman i had Superman done but I decided I didnt like it so back to the drawing board I go.
 
Until next time!

Round 2: Chain 2 [always counts as Doubl...

Crochet - "The Office" Blanket (Start)

"THE OFFICE" So I just started a "The Office" themed blanket! I am very excited for this project. I have been looking for a reason to make this item for a long time and its finally here. This is not my pattern (the photo above is not mine either) but I will be sharing my finished work with you. The actual pattern was made by Jessica from Psychedelic Doilies. You can get the pattern from either Ravelry or Etsy, I am not sure which one you would perfer so I will leave you a direct link to both sites.  "The Office" Ravelry  or "The Office" Etsy   For the Blanket I will be using a I or 5.5mm sized hook and Red Heart Super Saver yarn for the majority of the blanket.
