Snowflakes at the First Excuse

I've been making snowflakes and other little doodles like crazy....here's my latest, inspired by real snowflakes from nature: etsy snowflake pattern

I'm blown away this last few days by the sheer volume of listings and human creativity on etsy. It's daunting to jump into that marketplace with so much talent all around you; but I guess there's a place for everyone, be it ever so humble. Show me your fave etsy stuff, I love looking at neat things I've not seen before. 

A Good Winter for Crochet

A CD Collection of Appliques and Ornaments

I'm hoping to crochet a roomful this winter, I'm so jazzed about loading up etsy and ebay; why, I do think there's a crochet audience out there which is vibrant and happy to have yarn and hook in hand.

The cool thing about crochet is that you are never bored or anxious: start working, and worries melt away. Creating is such an antidote to all those negative vibes, I hope others can see this craft the way I do! I know that it's not been around for millennia like knitting has, but it still has the feeling of ancient human culture about it. There is something so basic about making an object out of string, and so very satisfying. Crochet on!!! Yay baby we're cookin' and hookin'!
I'd love to have you check out my patterns and odds and ends on etsy and also at the Instruction Page of my website. I'm also a watercolor and oil painter, and you could take a peek at my more snooty stuff at susankennedy.com. Thanks for looking!

Thread Crochet Crosses - Christmas Ornaments for your Tree

These are a pair of fairly simple crosses, done in thread crochet cotton. Thread crochet ornaments are a specialty of mine, and these two are a little crochet pattern I've been needing to revise, but haven't yet (they need step-by-step photos.)

I love designing crochet, but producing it, not so much....so if you want to make and sell these designs on etsy or elsewhere, feel free! Just please respect my copyright and don't distribute my pattern! http://susankennedy.com/CrochetCrossDuo.pdf

Have a wonderful day of crochet!

Christmas Crochet Designs, Beautiful and EASY Thread Crochet Snowflakes

These are a very simple collection of Christmas Snowflakes. Thread crochet snowflakes are something I've been making for decades (I'm not too too old, but old enough!) and I finally put together a pdf e-booklet of these easy ones. They're great as gift tie-ons for Christmas gifts (you stiffen them with fabric stiffener) and window decor, too. There are many many more designs in my head, so come back to see them. You can see all of my fun and wacky crochet patterns at my website and also at my etsy store.
