A new crocheted Goldfish Edging and my Darling Betta!

I just finished a little bitty pattern, perfect for a burp cloth. Preferably a blue burp cloth, with those orange goldfish swimming along the edges, too much cuteness!
I finally worked out my Betta Fish applique, too, only it's a little different in fin shape from the typical betta. But a fun one nevertheless, you can see the fish pattern which includes both at my Etsy Crochet Store

Q: When does Crochet Look like Watercolor?

Answer: when it's done by a talented freeform crochet artist. Beautiful, beautiful...this is an example of a recent show of  freeform crochet at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio in New York. I believe this piece was by Margaret Hubert.


I'm sticking with my humble flowers and animals, but do they ever make me happy. Summer's coming up and that always means itchy hands making tiny bags, necklaces, whatever they can make while driving and driving. Catch the bug! Crochet is such a versatile medium, an antidote to the blahs and the artistic equivalent of a worry stone. To me, at least.

Blessings and greetings to all, and if you'd like to see my latest Treasury of other cheery crochet pattern collections -- all original designs by me -- check out the links below:

"Susan's Small Project Treasury of Crochet Patterns"

Above are the skeins that are shuffling along after me, trying to trip me up and get me to use them!! I'm so sick I dream up crochet patterns while I'm driving or am in church! That is just ...pitiful, and evidence of a very sad fantasy life: BUT I'M NUTS OVER THIS STUFF!! I can't stop crocheting, I go on jags like this, and there aren't any drugs involved. You guys who have got it bad like me know what I'm talking about.

Coming up soon are some irresistible designs, baby items, travel items, and beach items.  I've just got to get them out of my head, through a crochet hook and down on paper.
If you want to see what obsessed me all last fall and winter, check out

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
