It's Cold Outside!

Hello again craft world! How has everyone been since my last update? Are you staying warm in this crazy weather? As many of you know, I live in Southern Louisiana where the temperature is normally just hot, but this year it has been crazy. In January it felt like March, and now that it is March, we have a freeze warning tonight! With that little rant, I believe it is time to share some blankets I've been working on.

First up, a spiral blanket worked in four colors. You can find the pattern for this here on Ravelry, but be warned, this is not for the novice crocheter! Working with four skeins of yarn at one time is challenging, even if the pattern itself is easy. 

Next up, a Mile-A-Minute project I started today. I've been wanting to try this technique for many years, but never got around to finding a pattern. While at Hobby Lobby today I found a book that show how to do this step-by-step. Now, I don't need such basic instructions, as you should all know by looking at my work, but I have a friend who is learning to crochet and while at her house the other day her grandma was talking of mile-a-minute blankets she used to make in her younger days. I think this book will help my friend once I'm done with it. 

In other crafting news, I'm now on Etsy! I have one pattern up for sale, with another on it's way. Click here to see my shop! It's only got one pattern for sale so far, but more are on the way. This next picture is of a coming soon pattern. It's Luther's Rose and would be wonderful for any church, pastor, or home!

And I've learned how to use a bead loom! Look how many bracelets I made in two weeks!

Ya'll be blessed and stay warm!
