Owl coffee cozy

Better late than never, right?  Here is my owl button coffee cozy. It's just a straight forward ribbed cuff in a cream (half and half?) yarn stylishly accented by Mr. Owl.

I have one more owl project in the works!

Nesting Doll CAL week 1 complete

Well here is the first doll of the nesting trio.  She is the largest of the three.  Fairly simple and straightforward to work up the red top and blue bottom.  As always, the detailing is the time consuming portion of the project.  Note to self:  continue practicing making french knots until it's second nature.....

I'll be working on the second of the three dolls once the pattern has been released for the crochet along. Stay tuned for more progress updates!

You can find the pattern at www.petalstopicots.com

My first crochet-a-long

I'm excited to participate in my first crochet-a-long (CAL)!  This is when someone selects a project to crochet and invites others to complete it as well at the same time.  I have chosen to join the Petals To Picots CAL for the August nesting dolls project.   I will post photos of my progress as I complete it.  Stay tuned!

Here is the link to the project
