Have a Ball, Ya’ll!!

A Ball: part 1 and part 2

Hmmmm. Well I can crochet booties that are sized the same, left foot bootie and right foot booties match. So, I should be able to make two halves of a ball match, right? You bet! And so, voila! I present to you my first and second crocheted balls. 

Variegated Crocheted Baby Balls - My First!

Yes, the second ball is larger than the first one. I used a larger hook for the second one. 

I have to ask. How do you keep up with stitches and rows completed? Do you use a stitch counter? Or, do you do it like I do with pen and pad? I find it helps my concentration to actually write it down.

Granny Square Baby Sacque

Here is my latest crafty endeavor, the Snowflake Holiday sacque.

Granny Square Baby Sacque

If you are a beginning crocheter, I would highly recommend learning how to make granny squares. This is actually the way I learned! Granny squares make up quickly and give you a sense of accomplishment. Once the squares are made, you can manuever them to create anything from a bootie to an afghan. It all depends upon the sizing and number of squares you crochet. You, the beginning crocheter, are in total control of your project. Yea!

The Best Handmade Baby Products

Welcome to our new blog! Do you enjoy creating new things, especially baby items? Do you get excited and inspired by the creativity of others? So do I! On this blog, we’ll share wonderful websites and blogs to keep us happily crafting handmade baby items like baby booties, blankets or afghans, scrapbooks, photo bookmarks, hats, sacques or sweaters, bodysuits, and more! What better gift for a baby than a gift from the heart?

 So, let’s get to it! This first photo of a crocheted alligator reminds me of the joy I had as a young mother eager to create some fun for my children. Little did I know then that my grandchildren would also enjoy this soft cuddly creature. Now that’s a fun heirloom!

Inspired fun!

Here is one more crocheted item. I love to crochet! I tried to knit once upon a time. In fact, the first and only project I ever created was a pair of bright orange slippers for my husband. We were dating at the time and I guess I was trying to impress him. He graciously accepted them. I wonder what ever happened to those slippers? Anyway, knitting was a bit frustrating for me with dropped stitches and having to be coordinated enough to handle two needles at once. Ha! Now you know why I love to crochet! One hook! I wonder if crocheting is quicker than knitting. What do you think?  Ah, the one more crocheted item, here it is. Baby booties. When I think “baby”, I always think “baby booties”.
