Get Hooked ~ Crochet by Erin

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. My fiance had the weekend off so I was unable to get to the computer and post week 39 and it was a good week, I got a lot done! here is week 39..... I made this cutie to remember my mom's pug Max. He would be 17 this April. My step dad had to place him in a Pug Rescue when it was time for my mom to go to a hospice 5 years ago when she had cancer.  And a few more Hook Challenge projects crossed of my list I used an F hook for this Gingerbread man bust And I used an I hook for these bunny coasters . I made these for my fiance and my Easter dinner . (Tater Tot casserole....mmmm) I also learned a new stitch  that was on my list... Standing Double Crochet. that post is HERE *************************  Week 40 was just as good a week..... I am almost finished the Stewie Amigurumi. 3 down 9 to go.  I am making a curtain for my porch. For the 2 windows I want to cover (bott...

I wish I could show you a bunch of finished projects but I can't . I can show you this adorable BB-8 droid hat. ( also part of 52 hat challenge... I hope I can make 52 hats this year. -- besides orders that is) . pattern by Lesley Karpiuk  Check back next friday to see if I finished anything else :) 

Project # 14 : Troll Beanie Pattern designer : Spider Mambo I love trolls . I had a bunch growing up thanks to my grandmother who spoiled me :)  When I saw this pattern I went nuts. My headband isn't really finished. I need to get a better brush to fluff out the hair.

I am a little behind with these posts.  So 11 and 12 were posted on the same day. Project #12 : Crowned Elsa hat/wig Pattern designer:   Rebecca Lueck I just noticed this almost completed hat in one of  my project bags. I started it in March for a customer who changed her mind. So it sat.  I just had to add some more strands for the hair and braid it.  I like this version pattern than the other version I sell in my shop. This will be limited .. it takes a lot of white yarn.

Project # 11: Tigger Slouchy Hat Pattern designer: Here's a hint... this list is mostly from her patterns..lol yup, its Snappy Tots.. again. I couldn't resist this pattern . Tigger is so cute. No one in mind to gift it to but I am sure I will find someone who likes Poo and the gang. Now on to make Eeyore.. maybe Poo and Piglet too if I have enough pink yarn. 

I love how Etsy keeps track of my sales. I realized this week that I have made over 200 Cabbage Patch Kid hats in the past few years. WOW! It seems like more, When I first made them ( Aug. 2013) I didn't think I would ever make 200. I guess alot of people what their little girl ( and themselves - I've made a few adult size hats too) to look like those adorable dolls. :) I think the most popular color has been dark brown followed by maybe blonde or light brown. I recently got an order for a cream colored hat/wig. Most popular size: 18-14 months . I want to give a BIG thank you to all the people who helped me get here. Here is to 200 + more !!

Getting back on ( to my ) schedule I made for August I made and finished the Pokemon Pokeball hat, Jack Skellington hat and most of the Snoopy Scarf!! I just need to crochet the house for the other end and make Snoopy's body.  I also sewed more of the Boston Bruins Blanket. I think I may be done with it this month. I have to make 2 big squares . I noticed that a few were too small. I have to sew the yellow to the black. i wanted to make sure everything matched up.  I accomplish alot when I put down that lily pond blanket..hehe   Ive also started my hubby to be's Shark blanket,....

Ok this lil guy is so adorable! I don't have kids so I will have to watch Big Hero 6 in secret so my hubby to be doesn't laugh at me :) Pattern by Repeat Crafter me !    Made to order hats are now available in my Etsy shop !
