I hope everyone enjoyed their October. This past month I did a few little projects, and one big one. The big project I did was a crochet pattern - the froufrou sweater from the Happy Hooker book. It's a pretty easy cardigan pattern, and I used some yummy yarn I bought at the Lamb Shoppe. I used Aslan Trends Invernal which is a angora, merino and nylon blend. It's so soft and warm, and super easy to work with. A bit pricey, but I had extra play money last month. I used just over 5 skeins. I'd guess I used right around a yard from the 6th skein. The body was done in granite stitch and the boarder was done by pulling up loops and joining them together, with a chain 3 joining the groups.
I also crocheted myself some hand warmers for my car using acrylic scrap leftovers. They were done using a DROPS design I found on ravelry - 108-25 crocheted shell wrist warmers. It was a free pattern :o) Finally I joined some ATC swaps on craftster.org and finally made some new Artist Trading Cards. The themes I had were my hometown, handdrawn map, gingerbread, and ladies of the seasons. I have some more cards to do this weekend, so my next post will have more ATC fun. If you like papercrafts at all these are a lot of fun to make, and are the size of a baseball card.
