Crocheting fun!

Here are some photos to show the creative process of some of my afghans. This is almost the beginning crocheted little squares.



Squares waiting on the outside edge of black. I love working with granny squares you get to see little bits being finished as you move along.



I crocheted the black as I went and attached them together to create the rows and columns that make up the crocheted blanket. The bright colors speak to me and I had to wait to list it in the shop. I am still not sure that it needs any home other than our own.







Here are a few of the others that I have been working on.



The black and aqua became a throw pillow for our oldest son. The blue, ecru and cranberry diagonal stripe is listed in the http://www.chocolatedogstudio.etsy.com shop.



I have been busy working on filling out the Etsy shop and creating some pretty new pieces.

Talk to you later,

Yes, I have been doing some research for new items in the shops. Pinterest has been my downfall. There are so many crocheted goodies on pinterest that I am in love with Yarn..... AGAIN! When I originally opened my shop I was making crocheted goodies like hats, scarves, shawls and items like this. They weren't really selling, probably because I had no feedback. I have been looking at these wonderful little items and just falling in love all over again. Isn't that afghan gorgeous doesn't it make you want to wrap up in it on a cold dreary day and drink something warm and wonderful!

I love all of Attic24's pages. They are bright, cheerful and she has so many tips and tricks. It keeps inspiring me to try crocheting again. So I am and I hope to have some pictures up soon. My camera isn't working so I am slow on new photos. I can't wait to show you what I have been working on and what is in the works for the shop. I also have some great new items that are en route to the photographer and I should have those back soon!

 

See you all later.
