My first Afghan

I'm finally done with my Americana Afghan! It took me a lot longer than I thought it would because all 3 of my kids got sick. Not all at the same time either. They all took turns, back to back. Ugh. Well now that they are healthy again, I finished it up. I really do love it and since I still have lots of yarn left from this color lot, I'm thinking of making a Chevron Afghan to match! Ahhhh... I love crochet. If you want the pattern, I did put the link to the blog where I originally found the granny square in my previous posts. I just joined the squares with the 5 stitch flat braid join and then double crocheted for the border and added a little bit of a scallop for the last row to give it the ruffle look. Feel free to send me questions or comments!

Crocheted Leg Warmers

Leg Warmers!!!

I've finally finished crocheting my leg warmers. I was winging this one so I don't have a pattern written yet. I will try to write it up and post it tomorrow. I think I like them. Despite the lacy texture, they are quite warm. They have some stretch so I can pull them up around my calves for higher boots as well. They look really cute with flats too. Yay! They also work up fairly quickly if you can sit and crochet uninterrupted. :o)

Coming soon...

I'm currently working on a pair of faux leg warmers. I actually don't know what to call them but you wear them under your boots to make it look like you have awesome leg warmers or crocheted boot socks on.  I am making the pattern up as I go and if it turns out good I will post the pattern free here on my blog. Here is a sneak peek. :)
It's just the first row, the rest is a surprise.
