Last year around this time, I shared my first baby shoe pattern - my Double Strapped Mary Janes. It was admittedly a slightly confusing pattern, both for myself and my readers. I've also gotten requests to make different sizes. With M's feet getting bigger every day,...
I crocheted a shoe. It was a very adorable little shoe, but it seemed a bit plain. I thought about flowers, but there's more to a little girl's life than flowers. I thought about buttons, but then someone would be worried about buttons being a choking hazard. I...
Sorry this has taken so long! Here's the striped fish that many of you saw when I shared the shell fish scrubbie pattern. I don't have a lot of in-progress photos in this post, but there's step by step photos in the Invisible Stripes post and photos for creating the...
You might have seen a glimpse of my two-toned granny squares in a recent post where I shared my granny square blocking station. Now I get to share what I made with all those squares – a granny square chevron afghan! This is a baby-blanket sized project made with 36...
