My creative space is all over the space this week.I have been crocheting on trains, at the skate park, while caravan shopping, in my car, in front of the fire at night, at friends' houses, at cafes , at lunch time, and any other moments when I can steal a second to put the hook in, take the yarn over and draw through a loop.
I am working on Amanda's gorgeous poncho pattern.
Since I started reading Amanda's blog last year, I have been hinting to her that I would love to try out her poncho pattern. Imagine my delight when it turned up in my inbox late last week.
I have finished the hood and am working on the poncho bit now.
Thanks so much Amanda. The pattern is perfect.
I am crocheting tiny bear beanies for some new babies.I still find the sizing of beanies a bit tricky. That top pink one is too small for a doll's head but the other two should fit.
These are motifs nine and ten from Beyond The Square Crochet Motifs.

Wow Kate... crochet queen! I love them all but those bear beanies are just the best :) Kx
ReplyDeleteI am tickled pink and letting out a huge sigh of relief that you didn't have any issue's with the pattern..YAY..
ReplyDeleteLove the bear beanies, and that fabric will make a beautiful dress for sure!
Love all the crochet :)
ReplyDeleteoh those bear beanies are so cute! Learning to crochet is on my list of 101 in 1001 but last time I tried I found it really difficult. I'm not sure if it is cause I knit but working with just one hook feels wierd.
ReplyDeleteHow was S & C? Did you have fun? I love your little motifs, they are like mini pot holders, great colours honey. Hope you are keeping warm xo
ReplyDeletei love crochet it's so fast & fun & rewarding too! i love the tablecloth fabric, i'm sure you'll dress will look FAB!
ReplyDeleteI am feeling the urge to learn to crochet! I can't wait to see this poncho, good luck with it and I hope that you get it finished for winter.
ReplyDeletecrochet is "so hot right now" ;O) ...each site I am going to including my own has such lovely crochet pictures. I love the lil hats, too cute!
ReplyDeletecolors and textures .such fun!!
ReplyDeletethey look gorgeous! Amanda's creations are always so amazing.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your dress making, I love the colour.
hope it's not too cold for you today
♥
Oh my goodness you have been busy. Love it all!
ReplyDeletelove it all kate. may the hook be with you
ReplyDeleteha ha i'm the same.
ReplyDeletei crochet on the bus, on the train, waiting for said public transport, before lectures, during lectures, while eating lunch, while watching tv, while in bed, at friends places...
and i think that's why i love hooking so much, so portable! so much easier to pick up and put down than knitting!
xox
You've been busy - the little hats are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly tell you that beanie sizes are very tricky after my two failed attempt, but my ones rather then too small, are too big!>< But crocheting is so addictive!
ReplyDeleteI love the poncho!!! How nice that she sent you the pattern!! ^^
Love the look of that beautiful poncho. Is it cotton? Looks divine. And so does that table cloth fabric. It's going to look amazing!
ReplyDeletethe pink poncho looks lovely and cosy already, need it with this winter chill that is starting to settle in.
ReplyDeleteOMG I LOVE the bear beanies! I want one! FOr me!!
ReplyDeleteLoving your new motifs and of course the poncho is progress. Can't wait to see this new dress for you either that fabric is stunning. xo
Poncho looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your dress too.
So very productive and inspiring and enabling! ;)
All of those little things are just about the cutest things in the world. You are one hot crochet woman.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting you got the pattern, and how sweet of her! You are going to do a fantastic job at it. Great colour choice btw.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the tablecloth fabric with the birds on it. What a find.
x
The bear beanies are so sweet! Where did you find that pattern if I may ask?
ReplyDeleteI think the table cloth will be a lovely dress. Can't wait to see more. :)
Love that brown tablecloth...you're a busy girl this week!
ReplyDeletehats are crazy and as I am unable to read patterns I just guess.. and I don't make more than one hat a year.
ReplyDeletelove the fabric.. hope it's racy ;)
All gorgeous as always. The table cloth is going to make an amazing dress.
ReplyDeleteyou're sounding pretty flat out! lucky the hook and yarn are so portable. love the pics of the dress you made in an earlier post {sorry i didn't leave a comment saying so!}
ReplyDeleteYour frequent frenzied crocheting should motivate me to finish my current (lagging) project so I can get on with the next. Really should.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could donate the top beanie to your local premmie ward? They often hats on the little ones. A friend’s bubba was a really early one and its astounding just how little they are.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you happen to accidently make that brown dress just a bit too big for yourself, you could always send it my way. I bet it is going to be divine.
Delightful!
ReplyDelete... and ain't crochet the best how it can be taken where ever you go. Tania @ M+E is crocheting at red lights! Brilliant. I think I will be too now... looking forward to my partner's reaction next time we're in the car together.
In order of the photo's, gorgeous, super darn cute, clever and chocolatey yumminess:)
ReplyDeleteOooo, lots of lovely things on the go! That poncho is going to be adorable & great fabric for your dress...

ReplyDeleteThat Poncho looks adorable as does the chocolate brown (my favourite colour :-) ) material, love those birds! Good luck with the crochet in motion at least if you drop a stitch its only one!!

ReplyDeleteThe top one might still fit a newborn for the first few days.
ReplyDeleteVery Cute!
