Hooked!

Posted in: Uncategorized

It started innocently enough.  I simply wanted to crochet some pumpkin hats for my kids, but, before I knew it, I was HOOKED!

While I have not given up the hope of returning to quilting someday, at this point, it’s just too dangerous to have Baby Tad in the craft room with me while I’m sewing.  The iron, rotary cutters, scissors, etc., etc. pose too much of a temptation for my busy boy.  Fortunately, crocheting is portable and can be done on the couch while he plays with safer toys.  It’s also a wonderful way to pass the time while waiting for Ariana at piano lessons.

After much experimentation and searching, I’ve found my absolute FAVORITE pattern for the most perfect little baby booties.  I even came up with my own little flower embellishment for this sweet pair that, coupled with a little flower headband, are going to a baby shower tonight.

    Oh my gosh, SO cute. My mom taught me how to crochet a while ago but I can’t remember how to do it and I’ve been meaning to re-learn. I want to make some little things for Hads so thanks for the inspiration 🙂

    I think you are so talented. Everything you do is to perfection. I wish I lived closer, then I could learn so much from you.

    They are the cutest booties I have ever seen in my entire life! I want some. I don’t even have a need for them but they would be so fun to admire. So cute!

    Crocheting must be in our genes. I love that it is a forgiving handicraft–unlike knitting. You know, if you drop a stitch, it’s all over! My sweetest memories of Grandma Hess revolve around our crochet lessons.
