Hello, and welcome to the Crazy Crochetin’ Mama! I’m glad that
you have stopped by today. I want to wish everyone a happy New Year.
I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas 2019, and that you enjoyed
your New Year’s celebration as 2020 begun. My children and I
celebrated a quiet Christmas here at home, watching movies, reading
books, and playing with toys. New Year’s Eve was much the same as
all my children are young, and we live far outside of town. They
went to sleep early, and I stayed up a little while longer listening
to an audiobook and crocheting on one last cardigan.
Ignore the faces on my boys in blue and red. Trying to get the one in yellow to stand still for a picture is hard enough. I take what I can get. |
December was a
whirlwind of finished projects. I made all the kids’ teachers and
bus drivers scarves, hats, and gloves this year (or some mix match
combination of those three items), and I crocheted each of the kids
and myself a cardigan. I, unfortunately, did not take any pictures
of the teachers’ gifts as I barely got them finished in time for
the kids to give them to their teachers before Christmas. I did get
a picture of my kids in their Christmas cardigans. (Mine still isn’t
finished.)
I still have a lot
of works in progress because I can’t just work on one thing. My
Christmas cardigan is about halfway done. All I have left is the
sleeves and the collar. I just ran out of steam when everyone was
sick. I’ll be picking that back up this week.
I also have a woven
blanket that I am working on, I’m still plugging along on the
Tetris blanket, and I have three new shawls that I am working on. I
also have two patterns that I wrote up after Thanksgiving that I am
trying to crochet up so that I can set up the patterns for my blog or
my shop (I haven’t decided where those two patterns will end up
yet). And I have a knitted shawlette that I am working on and a
knitted washcloth pattern that I wrote that I am in the process of
knitting up.
The shop will be
experiencing some growth this year. I will be adding patterns as
soon as they are ready for release, and I have several
crocheted/knitted/woven items that I want to sell that I will be
adding soon.
That is it for now.
I’m hoping to have more growth as I share more in 2020, and I hope
that you all enjoy. Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your
week!
