February in a Nutshell

Ahhh February; cold, bleak dreary February! Unfortunately due to hitting my head my February hasn’t quite gone according to plan! Even though I bumped my head I did have a lovely time spending some quality time with Little G on holiday and for that I am thankful!

Crochet-wise some of my plans have had to be put on the back burner as I am still struggling with a bad head! I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to release my ‘February’ afghan square but these things can’t be helped; I’m hoping as my head improves I will be able to get it finished off in early March.

On a more positive note in my crochet world this month I released 3 new patterns and 2 new FREE patterns into the world…

The first free pattern I released was ‘Margaret’s Hug’ Healing/Prayer Shawl and I am absolutely chuffed to bits that this pattern has been downloaded from Ravelry and Craftsy over 1,500 times! I love the idea that people are making hugs for people who need them! If you’ve made one I do hope you will share a photo of it with me; either email me or send me a photo over on my Facebook page.

I also had fun playing around with some Jute string for my second FREE pattern release in February for my Shabby Chic Twine Heart; I definitely see more jute projects in my future!

Patterns for sale I released my Lovers Ladder Infinity Cowl and my Inca Kisses Ladies Hat which is one of my favourite patterns to date, even if it was the trickiest to get from design to paper, and my final pattern release for February was my Elephant’s On Parade baby blanket which I’m excited to have published in the Baby Edition 2014 of Too Yarn Cute Crochet e-magazine.
