Crocodile Stitch
If you have ever seen the crocodile crochet stitch and wanted to do it, I have found a great tutorial for it. I looked all over trying to find one. This is a video from Annie’s Attic. The best thing about it is there isn’t a lot of chatter, they just instruct you like a pattern would read. I really liked it.
I will have to make something with this stitch and post a picture so you can see what it looks like. It’s pretty neat.
Bow Board
My First Beard Beanie
Hooray! I finished a beard beanie! This one is reserved by my mom. I’m pretty excited about it. This one is fuzzy with earmuffs:
I also can make them non-fuzzy and without earmuffs. I based this on a FREE PATTERN by Jen Spears, but varied it a little bit and haven’t put the pom-pom on top.
Brown Baby Cowboy Booties
Yet another Christmas gift…can you tell I was busy?
These are some more of the fun little cowboy baby booties that I made for my nephew for Christmas. Unfortunately I didn’t finish the ones for my 4-mo-old daughter, but I will.
Again I used this FREE PATTERN but this time I left off the little “heel.” I absolutely love these:
I have to admit, it was a little challenging for me to keep the rows lined up. They kept working in a diagonal. I had to use stitch markers and count a lot to keep it straight. I’m currently looking at some tutorials to see if I can figure out anything I’m doing wrong. If I do, I’ll share so I can maybe save someone else the frustration.
