We moved!

We just moved into a new home. I haven't been able to crochet much, and I can't wait to de-stress with a new project. Moving with an almost 4-year-old and a 12-month-old is a challenge! We love our new place, though. Lots more space, storage, hardwood floors, basement, garage, and each child gets their own room. I'm thinking of making something for each of my uncles who helped us out, I'm just not sure what yet. On my list of projects to start next are market bags for my sister and for my etsy store, a custom baby blanket for a customer, a plush throw to use up some homespun and chenille thick n quick I have, slippers that I promised my husband, and anything that can use up the stash of crazy yarn I bought on clearance.

Yellow Star Baby Blanket

I had fun making this one. I figured it would be great for a nursery with a stars and moons theme. I am hoping to sell it through etsy, but if not it will be donated.

Cotton Market Bag

I wanted a quick and easy project, and I love sugar n cream cotton yarn, so I decided to try the pattern for a market bag found on the label. It was super easy, and only took about 3 hours to make. I am selling this one in my etsy store, but I am definitely going to make a collection of them for myself, as soon as all my other projects are finished!

Homespun Coming Home Poncho

Here is the Martha Stewart Coming Home Poncho referenced in my previous blog. I used the L/XL version of the free pattern on lionbrand.com. I never make a pattern as written for some reason, though. I didn't like the collar so I cut it down to 3 rounds, and the last round of the edging made it curl, so I left that last round off. It is made of Homespun in Nouveau as a gift for my mom. I'm going to make one for myself in Windsor next, and then offer them custom made at my etsy store, GideonandEve.etsy.com
