Sharing the Granny Goodness...

There are so many talented crocheters out there

and while looking through Flickr

I came across many that have

loved using patterns from my blog

and etsy shop...

So here are some favorites that I would love to share

with everyone...

A Grandma Love cushion of comfort by
Casey...

A chevron of gorgeous colours by

And a innovative creation using Nanna Squares by

and last but certainly not least...
I sweet Sukie doll by
Victoria...

 Thank you ladies for adding your pictures to my
Grandma Tutorials Flickr group...

I love seeing my patterns work so well for others...

and your amazing pictures make me feel so proud...

Thank you all so much...

Babushka Darling Tea Cozy...

This is what all of my sidetracking

has come up with...

Babushka Darling Tea Cozy...

There is also a bag that I have finished but

haven't taken any photo's of yet...

But with "help"

like this...

It will not be long...I am sure...

So while I spend some time this week
taking step-by-step
photo's
and lots of writing...

Pop the kettle on
and have a few pots of tea...




and hopefully it will be out
very soon...

Sidetracked again......

As always

I have been sidetracking myself...

In between a few orders

for Granny Neck Warmers...

and
pattern listing...

I had some spare yarn, so last night I did this Little Hoot...

At the start of the week

I was totally sidetracked

with this..

Yes I can see another pattern in the making...

Are you getting sidetracked?

What have you been crocheting?

Add a comment and a link...

I would love to take a peek...

You never know it could get me sidetracked all over again...

Granny Neck Warmer Pattern

This pattern is very quick and easy...

I have used two strands of 8 ply yarn, 100 grams..

It will depend on your tension 

but you will use about 3- 4 balls...

I have added a braided cord to this, since this picture was taken

You can easily thread it through the top row of Trebles
and tie in a nice bow...

And it does make it cozier...

I will have the Kitschy Koala pattern out soon...
Just a bit more proof reading
to make sure it is all prefect...




But it will be worth the wait...
They are soooooo
CUTE!!!

Mother's Day Cards...

Tomorrow 

I will be having a stall

at our local markets...

I wanted some lovely cards to sell for

Mother's Day...

So with a few black cards...

Some pretty paper...

and a crochet hook and yarn...

I made some to sell...

To all my lovely dears...
I hope that you have a gorgeous
Mother's Day Weekend...

Thank you
to everyone that has
purchased my latest

Granny Hoot pattern

There are more available

in my Etsy Shop

I will be a tad slower to send them out because of the markets etc...

But I will try very hard to make sure that they arrive quickly...

Pattern Out...

The Granny Hoot Tea Cozy and Bag Pattern

is now listed

A huge THANK YOU

to CASEY

for all of her help

with proof reading and

Pattern testing...

I have included some lovely pictures that she has sent me

of her Granny Hoots finished...

They are just lovely!!!

 

 Don't forget to share all of your finished Granny Good photos

with me

Loving The Vintage Facebook page too...

Now time to get back to my Kitschy Koala pattern...Oh..

and adding the bag conversion to that too...

A Hoot of an Idea...

Time to soar to new heights...

The great unveiling...

Turn your Granny Hoot Tea Cozy into a "BAG"...

This adaptation will sure to make many a owl lover flutter...

It will be included at the end of the Granny Hoot pattern when it comes out...
Which will be very soon...

Stay turned...

P.S...They are not just for the little ones...

Kitschy Koala Tea Cozy...

Just when you may have thought

I had slowly started

to cross the line from

"Granny Goodness"

to borderline 

"Kitsch"

with my

Granny Hoot Tea Cozy...

I lost the plot...
and
dove head over heels into kitsch...

With the Kitschy Koala Tea Cozy...

I knew there was some "twee" in me...
just waiting to pour out...




So with a lot of patterns to finish writting out...
I will just
have to leave you for now with some
pretty kitschy pictures to enjoy...



*** The little "Budgie" is a new thrifty find from the markets..***
