Crazy Insane Granny Square Madness

Well, I started something new.  Needing to get a fix on my granny square addiction I picked up my basket full of embroidery floss and started the insanity.  I think I am going to make a large mat for my dining table. 

And check out the back side!  It's reversible.  Each square is actually two squares sandwiched together by a row of single crochet.  It almost gives it a quilted look.

I love this pattern.  I am doing the circles in reds and building out in rows of different color backgrounds. 

This is my thread stash I am working from.  It looks like a complete mess! 

I also made a cuff for moi!  With beads, too! 

This is the underside of it.  It's just something I was toying with.  It has a groovy lacy look.  I've been wearing the mud out of it ever since I finished it.  LOL!

It's been a week, and seems like the weekend has flown by.  I'm off to crochet some more insanity!

Christmas Time Crochet

It's like a little workshop here...yarn everywhere, buttons, embroidery floss.  And I keep miss placing my scissors!  LOL!!!

More little stockings are in the works.  I love the little snowman!!  Isn't he cute!!  Then I crocheted up the little stripe-ity to go with it.

I like his little face and scarf...it just flat out makes me smile!

 Here is another color combination I am working on.  This one is destined to have a little snowman on him.

I am calling him "Chicken Love"!  I do think I need to tighten up my stitches and work on the body shape a little, I want him to be a little fatter.  But the wings and head I am completely satisfied with!!!  He is so folk-art-ish I can't stand it!

Check out what one of the girls at Knitting taught me!  Yes, broomstick crochet.  It's so easy and fun I can't stand it.  I made myself this little cuff and can't seem to make myself take it off.  I want to make one that is wider, oh if I only had more time on my hands!

I managed to find some time to make these up for an etsy order.  Note the tail!  I changed it up a bit.  Oh how I like making these.  My favorite is the black one.

Well, goodbye for now.  Tons to do, and time is flying by way too fast.  I'll be back soon!  Everyone have a great week!
