I know I haven't been around lately

I just wanted to let you guys know that I haven't been feeling well at all. My health problems are getting the best of me.

I'm crocheting a little bit here and there but not a whole lot.

When I get to feeling better I'll be posting more often.

Error in the Round Ripple Pattern has been corrected

I cannot apologize enough. It was brought to my attention that there was an error in the 12 point Round Ripple pattern.

It has been corrected both here on my blog and in the pdf on my download page.

If you have the original copy of the pattern please update it to the correct version.

Once again - my apologies. I always do my best to give you the most accurate and correct patterns that I can.

Most wonderful Swap Gift!

I have my very own 8 Pocket Tote now.

My very dear friend Ann made this for me as a swap gift. I just love it! The colors are a little deeper in real life and they go so incredibly well together. The lining is just amazing! I wish I could do linings like that.

It is the PERFECT size. It hold 3 Caron Pounders or in this case 2 pounders and a cake in the center with room to stuff a ghan in it too. You can see the red and blue, the cake is black and this is holding the latest spidy ghan that I'm working on.

I've gotten so many compliments on this
when I take it out with me.

I just had to say another great big

Thank You!

Another Gift Doily

I love making doilies. Not one I would keep for myself tho. It still needs to be blocked. I love the center with the diamonds and spiderwebs but I'm not thrilled with the zig zags. I thought they would be a little more prominent.

Camera Cozy's

With Popcorns & Puffs

I just love these little camera cases. Hubby got me a great little camera for Christmas. I'm such a clutz I was afraid I would drop it and wanted something adorable and cushioned. This is what I came up with.

The popcorns are great for cushion. The front and back don't match. There's room for the closure in the front. The popcorn and the closure made is so thick across the front that I just was not happy with it.

I wasn't sure what to do with the sides. I already had the front and back cushioned. I settled on puff stitches. The cozy's just looked silly with popcorns sticking out of the sides. You'll have to use your imagination on that one.

These are made with Simply Soft. They whip up in less than 2hours for me. (Yes, I know, I crochet fast) and I can use up my little scrap balls of leftovers.

You can make these with bigger yarn and bigger hooks and they just get bigger and bigger. Notice a trend here - the bigger the bigger.

Please don't mind me tonight - I'm in a silly, silly mood.

The pattern is tested and it'll be up in my Etsy store really soon. It's been a hectic couple of days or it would already be there. It's going to be nice to have a day to sit still tomorrow.

I'd like to thank my testers for doing an AMAZING job!
I couldn't do it without them.
