MIA
Hello Friends...I know I've been MIA of late, but ah, life gets busy. I have however, have had time to squeeze in some crochet time. Here's a couple of projects that I've managed to finish off so far this year:

My first shawl!

Cotton Crochet
Hello Friends...so I recently ordered this great crochet book online called The Complete Photo Guide to Crochet, by Margaret Hubert. It's amazing, over 200 stitch pattens with great photos. I tried a couple simple patterns out with some left over cotton yarn, and made these cute dishcloths:

I also recently saw this cute bath scrubbie pattern on Ravelry. I used some extra organic cotton yarn I'd previously used for a scarf. I think this little scrubbie is just so adorable, and bright and cheery:
The Cooler Weather is Upon Us...
Hello Friends...
With school starting last week, we seem to be getting back into the swing of things. The kids are adjusting to the new school well...making new friends and both are happy with their new teachers. My little one, has a different schedule this year (her final year of Kindergarten)...she attends every day in the afternoon. Last year, her school district had a full day, 2 days per week schedule. Pros and cons to both, but we are enjoying the new change of pace.
With the cooler weather last week (it has since warmed up again), I was inspired to whip up a simple cold weather scarf...especially perfect for fall. You may remember awhile back I'd found some great organic cotton yarn on clearance...always an exciting experience. Anyway, I went back and picked up 3 more balls in a different colour. The result is a simple, long hdc stitch scarf with tassels on each end. The thing I love most about this scarf is its vibrant happy colour variations:
Last week before school started, we went down the lake again...this is what we found:

Crochet Cowl
Hello Friends...
Just wanted to share with everyone this pretty cowl I made as a custom order. I love this yarn (Red Heart, Light and Lofty), it's so soft and chunky and super quick to work with. This cowl couldn't be easier to whip up...I simply chained enough stitches to measure appox. 26" and hdc'd my way up until it reached about 8" wide. I then added two matching buttons for easy closure. Honestly, total time working on this project was no more than an hour. What do you think? A little warm for our coming summer, but will be perfect for the fall...
