A Superhero!!

Good Gravy look what I found!! How cute is this little guy??!

I found him in Lisa's Etsy shop -- Sisa's Stitches

There is a pattern out there than is for sale for a girl version of the doll- but the lady that I linked to above winged it and made her own little guy!

I think he's awesome!!

More Random-ness

I LOVE this blanket!

Isn't it awesome!!?

Blankets

After that post yesterday I got excited about blankets again! I have about 4 of them on the order list right now, but I'm always looking for new ones- so here are a few of my new favorites.

This one is called the Classic Baby Blanket by Rayn Blair. I think it is PERFECT for any little boy or girl, and also would be a great piece to be passed down from generation to generation.

A friend sent me a link to a blanket similar to this one and I knew I had to find a pattern for it. Can't you just see your babe sitting on here poking at all those little dots sticking out??! So cute! Also, another blanket for boys or girls- just take the ruffle edge off and add a simple border and you are all set! This pattern comes from Lauren Brown and is called Polka Dots & Frills Baby Blanket

Lion Brand has some awesome free patterns, like this one called Delicious Colors. Pick colors to match your decor and you have a great blankie to snuggle up with! This one measures about 30"x35" when finished.

Awww, I really like these little loveys! This little grey bear was found on Etsy in the missybdesigns shop. It is absolutely adorable and would be a best friend for any little person! Love it! I would guess it's about 17" square when it's done- that's the typical size for these. I also have some patterns saved for owl and doll loveys.

Now on to the big boys! This is a very simple pattern for a Chunky Afghan Sofa Throw. I can just see this on my couch, your couch, my mom's couch... everyone should have a chunky throw, don't you think??! I found this pattern on Etsy also- in the MouseAndThimble shop. They have lots of cute stuff!

This is another chunky throw from Lion Brand. It says it's a 5 1/2 hour throw- but it takes a little longer than that- not much though! I have made a few of these and everyone that has them LOVES them- they are great for snuggling up with a good book. I have this pattern bookmarked on Ravelry and it can be found here.

This blanket is one that I actually made and sold to a girl I graduated with who now lives in California. I am excited for her to get it- I know her little girl will love it. It's just the perfect size for kids. Or grown up laps, too! I have made a few of these and haven't had a complaint yet! The pattern was a mix of Mamachee's chevron throw and this throw by Judy Hice for Coats & Clark. The stitch pattern was taken from Mamachee and the color from Judy Hice, obviously. :)

These are just a few of my favorite blankets, I have SEVERAL more bookmarked on Ravelry, Etsy and on my Crochet board on Pinterest. You can find me on any of those sites!

As always, I am willing to make any of these blankets for you - just let me know which one you are interested in and I'll be happy to send you pricing info!

Get It While You Can!!

I have listed a blanket in my Etsy shop! It is gorgeous!!

This Aqua and White Chevron style blanket/throw measures 39" wide and 47" long and is great for your lap or your kiddos! It is the perfect size to use anywhere... the car, the couch, the chair, the bedroom, the floor- everywhere!! I love it and almost hate to sell it, but I can always make another one!!

Here are a couple photos

You can click this link to go to the Etsy shop and snatch it up!

If it's gone before you get there and want one of your very own just let me know and I'll be happy to make another, and another, and another!!

Etsy

Etsy is another site I am using more and more. It's a fun place to look for patterns but also a great place to SELL the pieces I have made.

If there is something you love but want a different color or size just let me know and I'll do what I can to meet your needs!

Thanks for looking!
