Baby Showers

There are a lot of babies in my life right now! Until about a year ago, I had never even been to a baby shower - but I think I'm getting the hang of them, haha! I love making gifts, as you can tell from my earlier blog entries. I started crocheting not too long ago, and I wanted to make a hat. I searched and searched, but every pattern I found was too... something. Too fancy, too plain.. So I made my own!

I made a few with different colours for my Etsy store for anyone else looking for a unique shower gift!

Maya's Hoodie and Dress

Here it is, my first foray into crochet!  I made this sweater, which was pretty adventurous for a first project, but that has been the way I learn - go in way over my head and try to fix my mistakes as I go along.  I discovered just how fast crochet is, and am wondering whether I may become a convert.  Knitters and crocheters seem to stay firmly on opposite sides of the fence, but I am intrigued by these new skills.  I get excited when there is so much more to learn, so expect more crochet to pop up for a while...  

Here Maya is, wearing wearing her hoodie in combination with the dress I knitted for her a while ago.  The dress is following the same pattern as the one I made for Sage last year, but I decided to try using a different colour for the trim.  I unintentionally made a set, because the trim on both is in the same purple yarn!
