Weekend WIP’s and Pattern Review… Whats on your hook?? Lets chat!!

It Saturday and I am sooooo excited!~!!!

I am off to buy my yarn to start the Viewer’s Choice Crochet-A-Long… I have the design sketched out and a color scheme decided…  Today I will head to JoAnns… along with my coupons to purchase my yarn…  I will also be grabbing a few other much-needed supplies for my crochet addition!  The closest JoAnns is over an hour away… So it is a big treat to go buy yarn!  We do have a local yarn shop here in my town… So don’t get me wrong… I love to buy yarn there…But for this project, they don’t have the yarn I need at the price I can afford…  I try to make at least 1-2 purchases a month at our LYS…

So, My weekend WIP is getting started with the CAL Afghan!  I will be posting the materials list this week after I get a little more of the design put together…  On Saturday January 18th I will post the first Pattern Segment for our CAL… Each Saturday I will post a segment for a week’s worth of crochet… Each segment will be easy to complete in the time-frame… The following Friday we will have Show and Tell” over on Facebook… And if you get a little behind,  the pattern will remain posted throughout the whole process. Are you ready???  You can either follow along here or on Ravelry!!

Now for a little pattern review… This week I worked on two of my own patterns…The little shop I sell in Alpine Originals needed to be restocked and so I had fun working up these two patterns… Amazing Grace Hats and Twisted Stitches Coffee Cozies…  Both of these patterns are available for free in my pattern tab at the top right of this page… It was fun to work on these patterns again… They are easy and quick to work up!!! Let me know if you have made these and what you think!!

Time fly’s when you’re having fun…Especially when you are crocheting!!  It has been another busy week… Getting packages off to family and Etsy sales… Crocheting new items for sale at Alpine Originals, a cute hat for a friend’s son and trying to get ready at home for Christmas!!!

Here are a couple of projects I whipped up this week…The first one is an adorable Sly Fox Hat...  I can’t believe how cute it turned out… And the pattern was easy to follow… The Free Pattern is available on goodknits… She has great patterns for both Crochet and Knitting!

The next pattern is a hat I tested for my friend Maria over at Pattern Paradise… This is her latest free pattern… The Rina Hat… The pattern is written for a variety of sizes ranging from newborn to adult… Super easy and soooo cute!!!  The one I made is child size and only took a couple of hour to make!

The last project I worked on was a hat for my friend’s son…  I made it up as I went… So there is no pattern, but you can find similar hat patterns and beard patterns on Ravelry by typing Santa Hat and Beard in the search bar…

I’m now in the home stretch and finishing up all the last-minute crochet goodies…  And getting a NEW FREE PATTERN ready too… Do you know what it is??   That’s right… our pattern for the Viewer’s Choice Crochet-A-Long…  A gorgeous AFGHAN!!!  I have been having fun sketching out the design.  I hope you will be joining in the fun… We will be working on this project for several weeks starting in January.    Each week I will post a pattern section that will be  easy to complete for all of us!  We will be sharing our progress photos on Facebook and our Ravelry Group…   In just a couple of weeks I will post the materials list so everyone has a chance to get what they need in plenty of time to get started…  I am so excited!.
