Ooooh baby DAISIES and Flower Child Sweetness!

I'm so proud of this one! Couldn't be more basic, but I'm find of the look and the simpleness of this quick as lightning daisy chain and breezy hair tie. My girls have taken a couple, I hope they're not just trying to make me happy. Hah! If you want to see the pattern on etsy, here it is: Flower Child Hair Tie
I hope to be putting up a listing for a sentimental and very green ivy garland...should have done it before now in time for St. Paddy's Day and Spring in general, but too bad...
Ta ta for now and have a wonderful day of spring hopefulness and fun romping in the daisies!!

Finally done with Red Wool Hearts

I finally finished this pattern and the little extras that go with it....had a lot of fun wearing my Valentine's scarf (pushing the season a bit). So cheerful! Here's the pattern on etsy: Heart Scarfette

Ooh... new, Red Wool Hearts Pattern I'm finishing up

Fun Stitch

I may have been reinventing the wheel with this one, but did some stacked shell stitches for a super-fast edging idea....what fun! It goes a mile a minute, and I've been using all of my odds and ends yarns lying around to make cool coiled thin scarfettes and headbands. Pretty! You can see the listing for the pattern at http://www.etsy.com/listing/64529321/pattern-make-easy-stocking-stuffer  AND have a lovely holiday weekend. Lots to do!!

Amazon Ho (why does that sound wrong?)

http://www.amazon.com/Susans-Small-Animal-Crochet-Collection/dp/1456389858/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1292419878&sr=8-15
Ok Now I Really Really am on Amazon, woo hoo! (See my Animal Applique Patterns book above) Now I just need to publish the full-color version. Am working on the treasury of all 150 pages of patterns to publish, what a blast.

Cold cold day! Wish I could crochet a cocoon around myself!

Createspace and the Stitch that's Tangling my Brain

I think I have figured out why my CreateSpace Store AND Amazon don't show my new paperback, duh. Here's the link which actually does work.

That bit of info aside...

Here's the stitch which I've been trying to create (although it's so simple I'm sure it's been "invented" a number of times)...I wanted an edging which could be used as a headband or belt, which filled a couple of requirements: it had to be FAST to crochet and it had to look nubby and interesting. This one looks either like a zigzag pattern or a mottled pebble pattern, depending on your yarn and gauge. But boy, does it go fast, and you can do it almost without looking, just a glance with each round. Yay! I'll form it into a pattern for an edging and headband soon, maybe will put it on etsy. In the meantime, thanks for all of the suggestions and kind comments, I have really been enjoying being a part of the offbeat crochet community out there. Toodles!
