June

Hello Friends...oh my gosh, I can't believe how fast this month is flying by! I want to share some exciting news that happened over the weekend.

I had an opportunity to go to a Crochet Crowd event at the Toronto Michael's Store, where Mickey and Dan were present to meet a bunch of us local crocheters. They had some Caron Cakes giveaways, and I was fortunate to win the top raffle prize, 10 balls of Caron Cakes! I was so shocked and so very excited and fortunate to win. Check out the beautiful balls and gorgeous colours:

I had recently finished off a beautiful shawl with this yarn and just loved working with it. So thanks again to Michael's, The Crochet Crowd and Yarnspirations for the fantastic haul. Mikey and Dan are just as lovely and witty in person as they are on their FB page. I've got some great charity ideas already in the works for my Caron Cakes!

Trendy Baby Blanket

Hello Friends...check out this great baby blanket in Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn.  Pattern can be found on the Crochet Crowd's website and tutorial on their You Tube channel.  I love the grey and red!

Charity Challenge

Hello Friends...here's the finished baby blanket I've been working on for The Crochet Crowd Feel Good Charity Challenge.  It's called The Cluster Baby Waves Blanket and it was super fun and easy to make. I used Loops & Threads, Big Ombre.  I've donated the blanket to my local Crochet For Cancer chapter.

From The Middle Blanket

Hello Friends...Here's another great baby blanket that I've just completed for Project Linus. I followed along with Mikey's tutorial from The Crochet Crowd.  He has many great tutorials on their Youtube channel, they are worth checking out!

WIP - Crochet Corner Blanket

Hello Friends,

Found this great pattern by Red Heart for making a crochet blanket by starting in the corner:

There's a great tutorial by The Crochet Crowd on YouTube, which has really clear instructions by Mikey.  Keep you posted with the finished results...
