Hello lovely followers! My class got canceled for today, so I have a few minutes to update good ole Once Upon a Yarn. I thought it might be nice to post the links to the last few months’ designs on Crochet Spot and tell you a little about them. I miss posting free crochet patterns here, so I’m really happy to be designing again.
By the way, I’m updating Ravelry regularly with my designs. I recently discovered that my Ravelry links have been directing to my old URL for a good six months. Which explains why my views have been low. So I got to update all 50+ of those. But that’s fixed now so Ravelry is pretty much up to date. In case any of you thought I had my act together… 🙂
Of course I’m the most excited about this one because, well, it’s a Barbie outfit. That’s pretty much the reason I learned to crochet. 🙂 I’m happy with how the texture on this one turned out, especially the ribbed fins.
A classmate last term always wore scrunchies on her wrist and I became intrigued enough to crochet one. I wish these would come back in fashion, I really like how they look. Even if this one is a little frillier than usual.
My dad asked for juggling balls for Christmas and I was happy to take him up on that. I made him a pair of socks from this yarn a few Christmases ago, actually, and I had an extra half-skein of it. So since he liked the stripe pattern on the socks (he came with me to pick out the yarn) I used the same yarn for the juggling balls. And there was extra yarn, so a carrying case was made. This whole project was super fun. I wish I could juggle.
This was the first pattern that was published on Crochet Spot, back in February, when snow was still relevant. (For the Pacific Northwest, anyway. I know some of you may still very well be getting snow…)
This was last month when I was going through a bit of a flower crown phase. Although, arguably, my entire life could be described as a flower crown phase. A classmate asked me last term, “Are you sure you’re not from The Lord of the Rings?” Which is pretty much the biggest compliment I can imagine. 🙂
I can’t wait for the next pattern to go up on the site, it’s my favorite one yet. I get so excited every time a new one gets published. This is honestly my dream job and I’m just so happy to be part of the Crochet Spot team! It’s been one of my favorite crochet websites for years, and I can’t recommend it enough. (I would’ve said that even before I became involved. 😉 )
What have you guys been up to? Do you still have snow in your part of the world? What should I design next?
Ooh, they all look so good! I’ve never considered that scrunchies could be crocheted, but yours looks great. 😀
Thank you for the kind words, filliefanatic! Your support means a lot and your comments always make me smile ^__^
