Valentine’s Goodies!

Leave a comment

I’ve added a lot of goodies to my Ko-Fi page this past week for Valentine’s Day including the above pattern that you can use as a background on your phone, tablet, or computer. You can find all of them in this album. Click on the version you want and then click the red “hi-res” button to download it to your device.

Then there’s the coloring pages. I created three different versions, which can be found in this album with previous coloring pages I have available. Same steps, click the page you want and then click the “hi-res” button to download it to your device. Then you can either print it or color it digitally. I have found that you definitely have to save it to your device because it is way too large if you try to print it from the web page.

There was supposed to be something else releasing this week, but it’s taking me slightly longer than I expected to get it ready, so I will save that for next week.

Crochet The Day Away

Leave a comment

Fell into a bit of a crochet pit recently. After finishing my Betty Boyfriend Sweater, I wanted to do something with the extra ball of yarn I had ordered. And by after finishing, I mean immediately because I stayed up way too late that night starting on this bag:

And once I finished the main body of the bag, it needed flowers. And once I made those flowers, I was struck with the idea for the belt after finishing the flowers. It was a mad flurry of hooks and fiber for a few days. Once I finished those, I still felt a need to crochet something else. So I grabbed my Crochet One Skein Wonders book and created this yoga mat bag:

I ended up making it twice, because the first time I went way off course from the pattern. The second time I followed the pattern exactly and it ended up being about a foot too long. Luckily I was able to put my mat in, rip back to about where I wanted it to end, and redo the final round with the mat still in the bag. It’s not a crochet project unless I have to do at least one part twice, I guess.
