Crochet Stash-Buster 2013 Update

Just a quick update on my Stash-Busting for 2013...



Since 2012 brought me a sweet grand baby Emma, its not a big surprise that I would have some leftover baby yarn in my stash. I am so glad that I do because we have lots of babies coming this Spring.  So I made a dent in it by  making these cute little baby hats.




The purple one is from my new stash of Stylecraft Yarn from Deramores.

I also got the Stylecraft white in the mail for my tiny granny square blanket.

It was on sale buy 9 skeins and get one free! I couldn't resist plus you can't have too much white DK yarn, right?!!

Tah Dah! Better Late than Never...

Finally I have pictures of some of the little things I made for Emma before she was born

A cute little cupcake hat form Crochet Today Kids Edition this last Summer

This little Baby Sleeper Set w/Diaper Cover is what I made while waiting 15 hours for Baby Emma to be born.

This little sweater, matches the cupcake/bobbles hat above.  I got a little creative with color and this was a fun one that I gave to Angela at her baby shower. The patterns is actually called last-minute quick baby set.

Happy Crocheting!

Baby Giraffe for Baby Emma!

Meet baby Emma's new baby giraffe toy...

I know...isn't she something else? (Not sure what but she is something?) Please don't look to close...this little baby giraffe is far from perfect. This is my first attempt at Amigurumi, I'm sure you can tell.

There is nothing straight on this little baby. Everything is crooked, which I hope adds to the charm. My daughter laughed when I gave it to her and said she loved it. Not sure the laughing was a good thing. She was borderline Hysterical laughing!

Well, all I can say is I'm so glad it's over and I will not make anything, (teddy bears, etc.) again in the near future. I am not saying never again because I may have a total lapse of memory and want to make another little something. But...I hope I don't forget what a pain in the a** this was to make.  So...if you are glutton for punishment...here is the pattern and details on Ravelry.

More tah dah's coming soon!

Happy Crocheting!

Another Baby Blanket Tah Dah!

Here is another finished baby blanket for baby Emma...

I was planning on a yellow border but it was just to bland...

Since we know she is a girl I went with the pink.

This is my own pattern/design and I'm please with how it came out. I've never made anything without a pattern before so this was fun...

It was super simple so I guess I should write it down so I can remember what I did in case I want to make another one!

I had to add this one to show the texture!

Baby Blanket in Progress...

This is my current project...

A baby blanket made with Red Hear Soft Baby Steps yarn.in Binky Prints. 

I'm having fun making this one. I struggle with a pattern on this one. They all seemed to be too lacy, (holey) or too textured, (wafftel Stitch) and it didn't show the texture with this variegated yarn.  

So, I am just doing my own thing with a sc than a dc in the next stitch and so on. I'm loving how it is turning out. I am stitching in the back loops only. It's a very TV watching friendly pattern that is turning out so pretty. 

I'm not sure what edging/border I will use but I have a pretty soft yellow yarn for the trim.

Thanks for stopping by and as always...Thank you for your kind comments!
