Crochet Hats

I have the crochet bug! I admit it, I am totally hooked, ( excuse the pun), hehe.
I found this gorgeous, local, 100% Cotton yarn on a sale the other day. For 2 days, I just kept looking at and rearranging all the lovely colours.

Then, inspiration hit me and I started crocheting baby cloche hats.


Preemie to Newborn


Newborn


Toddler


 3 - 6 months


0 - 3 month

I don't know what got into me..... You think I'm ready for a grandchild?
Lol, a granddaughter please.....?

And then I finished Penny's (our dog), blanket.
If you look closely, you can see that she has used it already.....lol




And......... wait....... I am already busy with a new crochet project.......
here is a sneak preview:




What do you think ?  Maybe a baby blanket......?????

Left over yarn

I have always wanted to give Granny Squares a try. The other day I was searching for wool and I was reminded about all the lovely little bits of left over wool and yarn, not to mention all the bargain odd balls.
Do you do that as well? I am such a sucker when it comes to Sales. I keep buying odd balls of crochet yarns because they are marked down. And even though  a little voice at the back of my head says,: "Its not enough yarn to make something", I make the same mistake again and again. I have some quite convincing excuses, like the colour is beautiful or the price is just too good to let this ball go. Hence, I have a whole box full of odd yarns and wool.


So, the other day I thought maybe its time to use some of these precious bargains, (some of them have been in my possession for 15 years already)

What do you think?  I will probably turn them into a knee blanket, or pot holders? Or a bag?

Any ideas anyone? Please help me, otherwise I will be stashing these squares for another 15 years?
