November Crocheting
November is my birthday month and I was celebrating a special birthday.
For my actual birthday I decided to wear a green dress. I had been collecting this green yarn for the past few years to create a sweater. I had never made the sweater so I decided that I would use the green yarn for the dress. It would be special since I had never made a green dress before.
The birthday partywas the following weekend in December and I needed a second dress for the party. The colors were red, blue and gold. I chose red to wear. I went into my red yarn stash and found that I had silk type yarn and a merino wool yarn that worked perfectly with the additional red glitterspun (Lion Brand) and (yes, I still had some) and added a ruffle yarn at the bottom.
I created two blankets that I gave away as raffle prizes.
The first Blanket was made with Lion Brand Homespun yarn in various colors. Most of the squares had been done in the past and I just connected them to make this blanket because I love this yarn so much.
The second blanket was made using Tapestry Crochet. I took a scene from a cross stitch book because I love tapestry crochet.
The birthday party was Saturday and on Sunday I had a baby shower to attend.
I created this blanket with a teddy bear head using granny squares as the base. This was the first time, that I created this type of blanket.

October Crochet
October has been a busy month for me to crochet.
I completed a project for a dress to be worn at Dancing Event in Washington , D.C. in October.. I created the skirt part of the dress by crocheting various blue yarns in stripe form to create different shades around the skirt. The front is Issaye Misake yarn which is a blue yarn with speckles of gold flowing through it.
My Annual Guild Luncheon- Theme: Crochet Flowers
I created a dress to be worn to the lunch in purple. I had loads of purple left over from previous projects this summer and I thought I would used it up. In addition, I created a blanket for the luncheon to give away as a prize for the trivia game that related to the theme.
Fashion Show at the Luncheon.
Since the theme was crochet Flowers, I went in the stash and pulled out a dress that won 3rd place in the Crochet Guild of America Contest to wear.
The second dress that I wore to the fashion show was Golden Galaxy. I won third place for this dress in the 2016 design contest.
