first post, little things

Here is some stuff I have been working on. This is my first post, I’ve been lurking the past couple of weeks.

I have to get a christmas gift for my 13-year old cousin Arnaud, but I have no idea what to give him. Any crochet ideas for boys?

This is a shawl I’m working on. This is just my first try at the pattern, if it turns out as fabulous as I hope it will, I’ll make one for my grandma too. It’s really elegant and I hope I finish soon.

This is one of the basic birds I made. It’s hot hot pink, not as pale as pictured. I’m going to give it to my cousin this Christmas because he learned me to crochet when I visited my family in Argentina. (yes, a guy!)

This is my favourite piece! A casse

tte cover I designed myself. the sides were the difficult part. It’s a really bright red, I don’t think the picture shows that enough. The button is a blue plastic ship 🙂 It’s for a tape trade I’m doing with some friends. My tape is bird themed.

Thanks for looking!

poinsettia

Getting into the Christmassy spirit, I just finished making this poinsettia:

The finished piece is about 6.5″ in diameter. I also designed a simpler version with only one row of petals and smaller leaves. I can write up and post the patterns for both, if anyone is interested?

 UPDATE: The pattern is finished! http://www.planetjune.com/blog/free-crochet-patterns/poinsettia/

My First Post

Hi, everyone. This is my first time posting here, although I’ve been crocheting like a mad-woman lately, trying to get things made for the holidays.

So far, I have a stocking for my daughter, done in purple at her request:

I also have a traditional red stocking for the new baby in the family, as well as a hi-top shoes & “basketball” gift set. (I was going to put black lines on the ball so it’d look like a basketball, but they looked tacky, so I took them out.) The patterns for the booties & ball came from past issues of Crochet Today magazine.

I’ll be crocheting at least two more stockings in the near future. I also have plans to make a sweater/coat, a adult afghan, and some baby items for the next new addition that will arrive in March, among a lot of other things.

My Little Monster

Here is my last Halloween project.  This is my little monster made from a pattern I purchased from Emily Millers Emporium on Etsy.  It was actually  for a ghost but she suggested getting creative and making a monster from the same basic shape. So I did. Didn’t get time to make a ghost.  I have started on some things for Christmas(not all crochet) but nothing ready to post here.  Was bound and determined to finish what little I was doing for Halloween before jumping into Christmas.  Now  I can go for it!

one skein scarf

A quick project (and an early Christmas present for myself!): the one skein scarf!

I made this in Red Heart Soft Touch yarn and I think it’s just right for the current chilly weather. 

The pattern is from the book ‘Stitch ‘n Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker’ but it’s available for FREE from the Patons website.

Candy Corn Man

Sorry, no Christmas yet.  Hope that’s Ok.  But I’m working on some things. Here’s my little Candy Corn Man courtesy of  a pattern I got from Stormycrochet at Etsy. I thought he was so cute so I made one of him for my kids also.  Since they are fairly recent homeowners they haven’t had time to accumulate  yet.  I just am helping them along.  I am enjoying the little amigurumis because they give some quick gratification of finishing something.  I have a little monster that I’m just finishing up so I’ll get a pic posted here for you to see.  Then on to Christmas.

Christmas present (for myself)

I almost never crochet things for myself. I’ve gotten most of my experience by doing little gifts for other people. But for this topic, I decided a little Christmas present for myself would be a cute little rag rug to go underneath our piano. I used the pattern found on the sidebar here. One thing that I am learning is that no matter how consistent the sizes of my stitches are, the type of material makes a big difference, too. The coral pink rows on this rug are made from a thick knit top, so it changed the size of the stitch. But hey, at least I’m learning something! 😀

New theme!

The new theme is here – welcome to the Christmas Crochet Along!

Remember this theme is very broad – you can crochet Christmas-related items (e.g. snowflakes, tree ornaments) or Christmas gifts for others (e.g. anything crocheted) or even a gift for yourself. There are lots of pattern ideas in the sidebar, and if you find any other great free patterns, please send them to me (craft@planetjune.com) and I’ll add them to the list.

Enjoy the new theme!
June
