JFlah's Blunders

Been crocheting a lot of gifts lately and I think it's probably time for me to put away my hooks. This was a house warming present for a co-worker's family. I hope they enjoy it.

I'm typically in search of people who like to wear handmade items, especially crochet and knitted items. This is a project I did recently for one of those stylish people.   These are for a person who always makes me smile. She said her favorite colors are blue and green so I went to Walmart and found some pretty yarn. Had to use a tiny crochet hook since the gauge of the yarn was tiny, but the final pieces turned out great. I hope she loves them even half as much as I enjoyed making them for her. Here's a link to the pattern I used for the "neck warmer" one pictured here with the buttons and the pendant. Here's a link to the pattern used for the infinity scarf.

Sarah won the Picot Cowl! I hope you enjoy it. She can expect a special package any day now. Only had 28 entries for this first giveaway. Next time I'll have to do better with the build up via social media, huh? Do you have an idea of what you'd like to see here as a giveaway? Leave me a comment.

My birthday is coming up next month and how better to celebrate than to sponsor my very first giveaway? I know I don't have many... er, "any" followers, but it would be fun to start doing this on a more regular basis if the response is good.   I've been making things from free patterns all winter so I have lots of them sitting around - probably more items than I may ever wear. One of them is a beautiful picot cowl from a pattern I found at Cre8tion Crochet (probably through pintrest ) and some great off-white chunky lion brand yarn. I've included three photographs. Would've taken a photo of someone wearing it but no one was around when I had access to a camera. Enter the Giveaway! Entries accepted from March 1-March 31 from residents of the continental United Sates. Winning entry will be chosen at midnight on March 31. Estimated retail value of Picot Cowl: $50 (+shipping)
