Summer Skimmer Slippers…

.

Another awesome project finished for the Artwalk…  I have made several pairs of these great Skimmer Slippers by Hook Candy.  You can find the pattern at hookcandy.com or on Ravelry.  It is a great pattern and it is available to purchase, but well worth it.  I love free patterns, but I also don’t mind paying for a great pattern!  A lot of work goes into writing and testing patterns, so I think its great to support a fellow crocheter in their business!

Summertime Skimmer Slipper…

Super comfortable and non skid…

.

The soles are double layered and very comfortable, I added Glow In The Dark Dimensional Fabric Paint on the bottoms for a non skid effect.  These work up in just a few hours of work and are a great gift or a treat for yourself!  Give them a try and check out her other patterns too!

.

So here is to slippers, Artwalks and Glow in the Dark!

Hats and Bags….

I have been working on a few new items to take to Alpine Originals for the upcoming Artwalk…  I am finally getting a good variety of different crochet items to share and sell… Since the Artwalk isn’t until the 21st, I have a couple more weeks to get a lot done!!! I have some really great things planned… But, for now I thought I would share what I just finished…

Large Square Bottom Tote Bags…

These cute cotton hats are a pattern I found on Ravelry by Drops Designs and you can find the pattern here

.

These awesome totes were also found on Ravelry by bobwilson123 and you can find the pattern here

.

Both of these patterns are very easy and work up quickly… I was able to complete each one of these in just a few hours…  They would make great gifts or would be nice to keep for yourself too!!!

.

Stay tuned for some really great 4th of July items I will be working on in the next couple weeks!

So here is to Bags, Hats, Artwalks and Summertime! Enjoy!!

Holiday Weekend Crochet…

.

This weekend was a little quieter than most… I had the house to myself for the majority of Saturday and Sunday… So, how would I spend it… Crocheting of course (and some gardening)!  I couldn’t wait to dig in to some new projects…

.

My crochet work will be  featured at Alpine Originals for June’s Artwalk the fourth Friday of June…  So, I am building up a large variety of crochet items for everyone to enjoy.  I’m hoping to show crochet as more than just Afghans and Doilies… Over the next month I will be showing it off here too!  I will also be making my “Annual” Flag Rugs and Flag Potholders… They are always popular and each year I make one Flag Rug to sell… This year I may make two being that I am featured right before The Fourth of July…  Stay tuned for pictures of these Rugs…

.

Here is what I whipped up this weekend…  Whew!

This cute hat is based on Karla Rae’s pattern for her Big Girl Bonnet on Ravelry. I made a few changes to the bill and used a smaller hook than recommended… Great pattern!

These Spiral Potholders are adapted from Barbara Langer’s Spiral Coaster/Potholder Pattern on Ravelry. I loosely followed her pattern and made several changes to get them just how I wanted them to turn out!  Another great Ravelry pattern!

This is a great pattern by Lily/Sugar’n Cream for Mobile Phone Covers… My phone would love to sit in one of these… I closely followed their pattern,,, with only a few small adjustments…

.

I just love Ravelry… If you haven’t found it yet, check it out… It is the best Crochet  Site for all levels of crocheters!

.

Well, 14 more items on their way to Alpine Originals… Wow, that was a lot of crocheting this weekend!

.

So here is to Ravelry, Artwalks and Crocheting!
