What's in YOURS? Granny A Day 109 & Seeing Double!

Today is Granny A Day #109

I really did use scraps of wool / yarn today and I was nearly caught out on rows 1 & 3 when I came very close to the end of the yarn at the end of these rows!!

Phew - I got there in the end.

 I will be making Granny A Day #110 tomorrow in a VERY special place, as I have been invited to a Top Secret Location for a "day out"

All will be revealed tomorrow

What's in Yours??

These pictures are of the contents of my Crochet Case

I have various sizes of Crochet Hooks

Scissors

Darning Needles

Stitch markers

A Pencil

A Ruler

Some Post It Notes

&

Sewing Needles

No you are not seeing DOUBLE

If you remember I made a Bear yesterday from my Crochet All In One Toy

  CLICK HERE FOR THE PATTERN

However, as I have a commission for a Lion, I simply removed the Bow & added a lovely Lions Mane

And Hey Presto - another Lion!

So Bear is no longer a Bear, but a Lion instead

Granny A Day 108 & A Bear joins in the Fun

Granny A Day 108 is another variation of a "traditional" Square, however it looks very similar, but, as you can see, rows 2 & 3 are made with more trebles, so one in each stitch of the row below, instead of Granny Shells all around.

I like the effect of the finished square, don't you?

And now for the "MAIN EVENT"

Yes, a BEAR joins in the fun 

He's made from the same pattern as the Lion

And the Bunny

However you don't make the Bunny Ears or Feet

Nor do you make the Lions Mane

You simply put a lovely bow around his neck and 

You have a gorgeous Bear!

Thanks for reading and hope you like the new Bear!

Headless Lion & Granny A Day 106

 Yes I have a Headless Lion!

He's the one I am making on commission, but I have run out of Safety Eyes!!!!

So, I will continue a little more of him tonight, up to the top area of the head, but I will remember not to stuff or close him up before the eyes have been purchased!

At least I can make the Mane and the Nose ready to sew in later, if I have the time.

Thanks to all of you have purchased Crochet All in One Toy Patterns so far and for all the GREAT feedback too!

Granny A Day 106 is here

I do love these colours together.

Hope you've all had a great Sunday & if you do stop by for a read, then why not leave a Comment or become a Follower!!

Thanks

A Star Pupil & GAD 103

First and foremost is a special mention for my STAR PUPIL 

NR

After only 2 lessons, she came to class with this today!

2 weeks ago she was a TOTAL beginner and wanted to learn to crochet a Multi Colour Granny Square.  I remember her original emails saying 

"Looking forward to finding out if I can achieve this!!"

Well guess what - she did achieve it and she told me that it will continue to grow!

I love the colours too - White, Baby Blue & Fuchsia Pink.

So today we progressed to a Ripple Blanket 

And look at this!  Ok so there were a few mistakes in the first row, but it was her first attempt and by the end of the Yellow row, continuing through to the red row, it was perfect.  Well done NR. You know who you are!!

Now for GAD 103

Once again, I have as many followers as I do GAD's so thank you for joining - is this starting a trend??  Will I have 104 followers tomorrow???

I really did use scraps of wool today, as you can probably tell by the colours!!

Don't laugh will you?

Now for the All In One Toy Pattern - I will make it available for sale NOW

GAD 102 & News on the All in One Crochet Toy Pattern

It's Day # 102 of Granny a Day and I have 102 Followers today, so thank you to my new Follower!

Now today's Granny A Day started with me tipping out my Wool / Yarn stash basket, so that I could make use of the little scraggy bits hiding at the bottom!

(Yes I did tidy them all up afterwards!!)

And here it is - GAD 102

A white centre, a light blue 2nd row, a slightly darker blue 3rd row and a bright fuchsia pink used in the join as  you go 4th row.

The photo doesn't really show the blue colours well, which is why I took 2 photos, in the hope that one would show the colours better than the other

Now for more news, the news you've all been waiting for......

Yes, the All In One Crochet Toy Pattern is now ready - I spent most of the day typing it up and double double checking  what I had written etc. and I have finally finished.

I have written the All in One Toy Pattern for use as a Bear, Lion & a Rabbit

All I have to do now is get it online for sale, so that will probably happen tomorrow.

So if you are interested in this very very very little sewing involved toy pattern then check back with me tomorrow!

Oh did I mention that I have written it for both Left & Right Handed Crochet People???
