Be a Crafty Hooker A Guest Blog From Theresa M.

Dawn asked me if I could do a guest blog for her and the glutton for punishment that I am, I said yes.  She knows that I am a somewhat crafty person and suggested I do one of some stuff that I make.

I love to crochet and I do knit also.  As a small child I can remember my grandma crocheting all the time.  I still have afghans and some dolls that she made me, years and years ago.

This year will be 10 years since my grandma passed away, and I used to kick myself because I never took the time to have her teach me this art.  By taking a piece of hooked metal and some yarn and turning it into something beautiful is art in my opinion.

Angel Pinafore Dress and Diaper Cover

It took me several years before I finally got into crochet.  I actually taught myself to knit first.  Well actually I tried crochet, couldn't get hang of it and decided to trying knitting.  So I knitted for a year before I tried crocheting again.  I found this video and finally understood what was going on.  

The first item I made was a bunny hat, of course that ugly thing went to Dawn, since she's the bunny lover.  Anyway, I got better over time and even now, I am still learning.

Nordstrom Crochet Hobo Bag

That bag was one of my favorites that I made another cousin for Christmas.  I made her husband a boobie pillow.  He loves that thing.  He's used it so much it needs a boob job ;)

All the links I have given for the items are all from Raverly.  That is a great spot to get patterns, help and finding local crocheters or knitters.

Penguin Hat

Course we can't forget a picture of Dawn in another of her favorite animals.

If Dawn has me back, I can do posts of single projects or whatever tickles your fancy.  I hope you enjoyed.
