best seller

these pretty fingerless gloves are one of my top sellers.

every year, no matter how many i make, i sell out of these.  they are my original pattern, and such a breeze to make.  i have found that the gals in the office really like them too for many reasons...

*can drive with them

*can type with them

*can still use the touch screen on their phones

i'm currently working on quite a few new sets for the shop.  keep your eye out for them!

cowls

for whatever reason, i never considered making or wearing cowls. i see them all over the interwebs, advertised on crochet and knitting subscription emails. everywhere. 

and then i stumbled across this pattern, the motif is one of my favorites. 

then i grabbed a ball of my favorite yarn, and one of my favorite yarn bowls and got to work.

it was such an easy pattern to follow and finished beautifully. i liked it so much, i made them in a few colors for myself.  and they sure have come in handy with this cold spell we are having!

top nine

happy new year folks!!

if you follow me on instagram, you'll see i followed along with others and posted my #topnine. it really did sum up my year. lots of crochet, although, i never did finish any of those doilies. and lots of good and healthy food.  also, lots of time spent in workout clothes and definitely lots of packing and moving. but that middle photo... not nearly enough time spent outside or at the beach!

with the new year, i've been thinking a lot of what my plans are for crochet. there will obviously be lots of crochet (and knitting) done, but what will i make??? right now i've got a few knitted projects i am making for myself.  i'm not an advanced knitter, but do enjoy knitting simple scarves. 

now the crochet stuff. i've got lots of ideas and working on gathering some pattern ideas to get started.  there will definitely be more doilies this year. more fingerless gloves. and maybe some other fun stuff. here's to another productive and crochet filled year!
