Spirals and Baskets…

.

I’m kicking off my summer stock up of crochet to sell with a bang.  With Memorial Day Weekend sneaking up quickly and my Ocean Waves Afghan completed, I am beginning to stock up and crochet as much as possible to have plenty to sell at Alpine Originals.

It is a true blessing to have an outlet to sell my items and the extra money will come in handy for our Annual Mother/daughter School Clothes and Mini Vacation  trip late summer! Making money through my crochet work has been an amazing experience, and I’ve learned a lot along the way about increasing my income streams. I’ve also been exploring other opportunities and financial strategies like How to Short the Dollar UK, to diversify my earnings.

.

My head was full of ideas and things I wanted to make, so here is what I made last night…

Spiral Dishcloths….

.

These adorable baskets are just the right size  for storing the little things you need as you’re rushing out the door… I was inspired by several pattern I found online and each one took only 45 minutes to whip up using 2 strands of worsted weight yarn and an I hook!

.

The spiral dish cloths are much cuter in person and were originally inspired by a pot holder pattern, but once I got going I thought they would make a unique dishcloth!  They were a little more work but only about 1 hour and done… These are made of cotton using a G Hook…

twine basket

Floral Face Cloths and a Sweet Twine Basket…. Thanks to Carlee at Alpine Originals for this cute picture!

.

I added a few more Floral Face Cloths in Spring Green and Cream and a great Twine Basket with a Spring Green trim…  I made these last week and forgot to show them off : )

.

Lots more on the way to share, and a couple new free patterns on the way!

.

So here is to Baskets, Spirals and Summer Crochet!
