Barefoot Sandals

Last month... ok 2 months ago I posted about winning an awesome contest from Bizzy

Crochet. I completely forgot to link to the patterns I used to make the barefoot sandals included in that post.

These patterns are not mine.

The Stars were originally designed for babies and I am NOT baby sized so I added a few stitches here and there to make it work :)

You can find the Hearts HERE and the Stars HERE

Cute little Sandals

One of my beautiful cousins is having a baby in December so I’ve been in baby mode. This is one of the first projects I made for her.

This pattern is not mine. You can find the pattern HERE

My Hooking History :)

My grandmother first taught me to knit when I was in highschool. I picked out a hideous orange color, made a small square and packed all my yarn away so I could focus on school. One day, several years later, I sent all my needles and yarn to my sister. And wouldn't you know? I got the fever less then a few weeks later :) This time my mom taught me to knit and I made a long, long scarf. I had no idea how to cast off and we lived miles apart so I again took a brake. It wasn't until one of my friends pointed out that you can learn how to knit on youtube that I finally finished my first scarf (9 months after I started) Soon after I became addicted to youtube tutorials. I have since taught myself how to crochet and I cannot stop. I still enjoy knitting but most of my projects nowdays are crochet. I crochet for my friends and my family and occasionally for hire but it really is just a hobby for me.
I love finding new patterns and writing new patterns and I hope you enjoy reading about what I make.

I live in the middle of nowhere and am very limited on stores. The places near me sell almost exclusively Red Heart yarn so most of my projects are done with Red Heart. I do on occasion get to use fancy yarn and I will share when I do but those times are rare.

Also, those who know me know that I am a photographer by carreer. But when I crochet or knit, I usually just take a photo with my cellphone and send it to the person I'm making that project for. I guess what I'm saying is please forgive me if my photos here aren't as pretty as my other blogs. I don't always take the time to shoot my projects :)

Also, if you notice a mistake in any of the patterns I write, or if I have a link to the wrong pattern, please let me know and I'll update them.
