My job....stresses me out. Even though I thoroughly enjoy what I do, dealing with sick people, injuries, and death daily does not lend itself to relaxation. Much of the stress at work follows me home and really puts a damper on my evenings. More stress is usually waiting for me at home as our house is still full of projects....which seem to multiply.
On one of my days off I decided I needed to find something that would allow me to relax and escape some of the daily stresses. Thus came my new hobby....crocheting.
I have a lot of friends expecting sweet little babies this year, and wanted to make something for their little bundles of joy. Did a bit of research, bought some supplies, and taught myself to crochet. I am still experimenting with different stitches, styles, and designs. Hopefully I will be able to expand my projects over time. I am still wanting to find some baby blanket designs I like...
These are some of my little creations: (the flowers and details are not permanent but placed on the hats to give examples. All are interchangeable, and i am still experimenting with different designs)
Shell Stitch Beanie (soft green)
Single Crochet, Skip Stitch Beanie with Shell Border (Pink Rose)
Single Crochet, Skip Stitch Beanie with Straight Border (Pink Rose)
Loose Beanie, Muffin Top (Pink Rose)
Muffin Top, Half Double Crochet (White)
Headband (pink rose)
Coffee Coozie with Button Accents (Maroon)
I will probably add some blogs matching patterns with pictures so I remember what I used for each item....but until then, pictures are it.
I hope to eventually be able to sell these items....but first I must figure up reasonable prices and details. If you are interested or have ideas let me know. I am always willing to try new items or styles people would like.
