Crochet Diaper Cake

I am very proud of how this turned out! Gorgeous diaper cake that I crocheted for my sister-in-law's baby shower. It sat as the centerpiece of the refreshment table. All items except for blankets, ribbon, pins, bottles, and of course diapers, were crocheted. The pattern can be purchased from Annie's Attic "How to Make a Crochet Nappy Cake."

Flock of Owls for Fall

I have given up on finishing my WIPs. It's Fall! My favorite time of year. I made tons of pumpkins last year and this year I wanted to make some owls among other things. I have had my Fall yarn purchased for weeks now and I have anxiously been waiting to use it!

These large figured owls are flying in for free from Coats and Clark's "Cutest Little Owl."

These small owls that kinda look more like robins are provided by Curiouser and Curiouser's "Adorable Owl Amigurumi" also for free!

And of course everyone should recognize The Itsy Bitsy Spider's "Baby Owls" from her CAL and now available for purchase on Etsy and Ravelry.

Just Ducky

I made these ducks back in August and forgot to take pictures. Cute duckies made out of soft baby yarn to accompany baby blankets or alone. I used them as table decorations at my sister-in-law's baby shower. The pattern is from Leisure Arts "Just Ducky Baby Afghans."

Crochet Ripple Baby Afghan

Continuing my week of finishing up WIPs here is a soft and beautiful baby blanket. I began this little afghan sometime in 2003. I finished about half of it and I'm sure I got bored and set it aside. I can't believe I have kept it and the yarn for it all these years. The pattern is from Leisure Arts 1976 "Baby Afghans to Knit and Crochet" Leaflet 64 that was purchase by my Granny in 1981.

Graphic Granny Afghan

This week I'm finishing up my works-in-progress. First off is this Graphic Granny Afghan that I started in February. After making the 95 motifs I set it aside because sewing them all together is such a big chore. But now I have finished it! I am absolutely in love with the striking design and colors. You can download the free pattern from Coats and Clark's "Graphic Granny Afghan." I added two extra columns and rows to make it a little bit bigger.

My Pal Patches

 

Look at this cute little farmer boy! He is so adorable with his little hands in the pockets of his overalls. I made this little guy for my cousin Jennifer's new baby boy. The pattern can be found in Crochet World issue June 2010 "My Pal Patches."
