Courtney's Double Pocket Purse

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm sharing a picture that Courtney sent me of the Double Pocket Purse she made using my pattern, found here


Didn't she do a lovely job?  Courtney used only one front pocket and also added a flower. 
If you've used any of my patterns or ideas, I would love to see pictures!
God Bless!

Crochet Shrug Progress

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing a few pictures of the shrug I am working on.  I was using the pattern  for the 9 to 5 shrug, found here, however, it seems that the pattern has been removed as it is going to be published in Crochet World magazine this June. 



I really like how it is turning out, what do you think?

Granny Striped Purse

Hi Everyone!

Here are some pictures of the Granny Striped Purse I made using this pattern at Tangled Happy.  I highly recommend this pattern, it was easy to follow, quick to make and resulted in a beautiful little handbag. 




Let me know how you think it turned out!

Crocheted Wallet Pattern

Hi Everyone!

I made this little wallet a week or so ago and I thought I would share the pattern I wrote for it with you all. 

Materials:
Yarn
Size H hook
Button
Needle
Thread
A piece of fabric around 11 by 4 inches (optional)


Pattern:

Chain 37
DC in 2nd chain from hook and in each stitch across. 
*ch 3, DC in each st across, turn*   
Repeat from * to * 4 more times. 
End off

I recommend sewing a liner onto the wallet.  I also sewed a little pocket in mine big enough to hold a business card. 
Fold the wallet so that a small flap folds down and sew a button onto the front.  Now just slip the button into one of your chain 3 spaces. 

I would love your input on this project, if you find anything that is written incorrectly or difficult to understand, please let me know.

Have a wonderful week!
