Here’s one of my latest patterns, the Shoebeedoo Loafers. I’m in baby crochet overload you guys. 

What do you think?

And a little more. Aren’t these stairs lovely?

Been neglecting this blog for a little bit but I’m back! About to pop. And thought I’d share a little lovely yarn art with you all. 

Here goes a free pattern for a Croco-Flower. It’s quite easy… literally, just a couple of rounds that gives you an interesting 3-D effect. It can be worked in any yarn weight. However, heavier weight yarns like worsted or bulky weights works best to give it a sturdier texture. Even the good ol’ Red Heart Super Saver works fine for this flower. Enjoy it!

I am thrilled with the positive response I’m receiving since I launched these booties’ pattern. Sweet!

Today, a little over 2 months after its launching date… the printed version of my book is now Back Ordered and temporarily out of stock at my publisher!  Yay! Celebration time again! Glad to know e-book inventories are infinite ;-).

This is my design for a Crocheted Wedding Gown.  It is entirely crocheted with the Crocodile Stitch in a fine microfiber satin thread.  It took me 3 weeks of insane crocheting.  My wrists almost fell apart.  Luckily I was able to finish it in time to model it at the Crochet Guild of America Fall Conference Fashion Show.  The Calla Lilly flowers in the bouquet were crocheted by my mother. Yep, it takes a family to make a crocheted wedding.
