My Other Pastime: August 2017

My Crochet Journey So Far

I learned to crochet when I was 16. My Great Grandmother was living with us at the time. She was a prolific crocheter. I had broken up with a boyfriend and was moping around the house. My Grandmother couldn't stand it so she sat me down and taught me how to crochet. She taught me how to crochet the granny square and let me tell you that that was the HUGEST granny square afghan that anyone has ever made! I just kept going and going and going! I slowly branched out from making afghans to making sweaters and other things. I don't intend to post patterns because these are not my original designs. I just thought it would be fun to have some sort of record of what I have made and who it went to.

Winter Sweetie doll(Anna)- August 2017

Here she is almost all put together

Here she has her face and her wig cap getting ready for hair...and arms!

She has arms now!

Finished! She's so cute! I'm not a hair professional, so it looks okay in the picture, but I see all of the flaws. ha!

I made this doll for my youngest granddaughter for Christmas. I had to cut the cape a few rows and probably could have not done several more rows because I crochet a lot bigger than most people. I thought she turned out pretty cute.

I got the pattern from Made By Mary. At the time I got the pattern she was offering it for free along with all of her super hero dolls. I don't know if they are still available or not.
