<br />
After Christmas I put away all my crochet stuff. I ignored the yarn sales (I have bins full) and got myself and the house ready for our new puppy.<br />
<br />
When my sisters came to visit, at the end of April, I hauled out all my stuff and let them pick out a few things.<br />
<br />
While I had it all out I did a purge of my yarn and then put together a few balls for projects. It still left me with a lot of yarn and in search of a project.<br />
<br />
I found this <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-its-cold-outside" target="_blank">easy baby sweater pattern</a> - adapted it for the way I crochet - and made these fun little cardigans.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAEa_efschI32CWmoYFiVCiVC4I2f61QpJtNKeI8IHO7WnKz1UaktbwGyMmupXVlAQKXJ3idgmkvMtWbq4RoPDaCS2n1GP6gQGSFQiQdjLplA35j5cmQo9zilG032QCCmZKd7fQlKlayU/s1600/IMG_2653.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAEa_efschI32CWmoYFiVCiVC4I2f61QpJtNKeI8IHO7WnKz1UaktbwGyMmupXVlAQKXJ3idgmkvMtWbq4RoPDaCS2n1GP6gQGSFQiQdjLplA35j5cmQo9zilG032QCCmZKd7fQlKlayU/s640/IMG_2653.JPG" width="480" /></a><br />
<br />
These are all going to my mother-in-laws charity project. I have enough yarn to make 12!!<br />
<br />
I'm happy because it keeps me busy and it's using up my leftover yarn.<br />
<br />
In the fall I'm hoping to find another project as well as post all of my crochet stock on my Square Store.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I'm getting ready for a craft market my house is a total disaster. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am focused on getting all my crochet finished and my table set up right - never mind laundry, cleaning and other non-crochet related errands and chores.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this time of year, my house looks like a yarn factory exploded!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

What are you doing next weekend?</span><br />
<br />
I'll be at the <b>Portobello West Fashion and Art Market</b> at the <b>Creekside Community Centre</b> both Saturday, November 28 and Sunday, November 29 from 11-5.<br />
<br />
Drop by and say HI!<br />
<br />
<i>This weekend </i>I'm working on a mock set up of my market table (in my dining room) and taking inventory of ALL my crochet.<br />
<br />
Here is a pic of my <b>FINGERLESS GLOVES</b> mid inventory.<br />
<br />
I make these more like wrist cuffs with a thumb hole. They are approx. 6 inches long and one size fits all.<br />
<br />
I LOVE to arrange them by colour. Don't they look so pretty?<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
These fingerless gloves are perfect for when it's cold outside and you "need" to text or use your smart phone!<br />
<br />
They are also great if you or someone you know has arthritis in their wrists and hands - keeps them nice and warm but their fingers free to do stuff around the house. <br />

I like to wear mine while I'm working on the computer late at night. So cozy!</div>

<br />
She liked it so much she asked me to make one for my niece. So I made her one, for her birthday this year.<br />
<br />
My sister also asked me to make one for Zoe - my niece's min pin. Apparently she loves my sister's afghan but really needs her own.<br />
<br />
This was a first time request for me. <br />
<br />
I've never made a doggy blanket before but she is a small dog and I had a couple balls of yarn leftover so I thought "why not?"<br />
<br />
She loves it!<br />

<br />
I'm expanding my crochet product line - don't worry I'll still have my HATS, FLOWER PINS and INFINITY SCARVES - but I'm adding SHRUGS and BABY BLANKETS!! See bottom of this post for sneak peeks of BABY BLANKETS.<br />
<br />
As requested I've brought back FINGERLESS GLOVES and CABLED HEADBANDS (see below for pics - both in a wide variety of gorgeous colours!!!).<br />
<br />
I'll try and post some SHRUG photos soon - I just have to convince my daughter to model them for me!!<br />
<br />

I'm also trying to expand my selection and add some different items this holiday season.<br />

<br />
Craft Fair Holiday Season will be starting for me this coming weekend.<br />
<br />
I'll be selling my crochet at the <a href="http://westvanpumpkinfest.ca/#!/harvest-festival_oct5/" target="_blank">West Vancouver Community Centre Pumpkin Fest Artisan Market </a>this coming Sunday, Oct 5 from 10 am to 3 pm.<br />
<br />
I've been working all year - crocheting a little at a time - to prepare for this.<br />
<br />
If you bought some of my crochet in the past - hats, scarves, gloves, headbands, boot toppers - or if you missed out please stop by and say Hi!<br />
<br />
You might find the perfect handmade gift for someone or something you love!<br />
<br />
I'll have more of the same and this year I'm adding a different patterned scarf and some beards!<br />
<br />
Yes you read that correctly - crochet BEARDS!!<br />
<br />
Here's my brother-in-law Mark wearing his. It looks so natural on him doesn't it?<br />

These are fun for dress up, halloween, or make great face warmers.<br />
<br />
See you there!<br />

<br />
If you have some of my crochet and you don't mind sharing a photo of you or someone else wearing it (maybe you gave it as a gift this Christmas) please email it to me. <br />
<br />
I'd be happy to share it on my blog and make you "famous"!<br />

Zona and I had lots of fun at last weekend's market. We sold many hats and scarves and met a lot of new people!<div>
I've already started crochet-ing for next year!<br /><br /></div>

<br />
Right now I have a lot of stock but it won't last long! <br />
<br />
FYI I'm keeping my prices the same as last year $20 for hats and scarves, $15 for headbands/headwarmers and boot toppers, and $10 for fingerless gloves, flowers (or 2 for $15 for flowers).<br />
<br />
If you would like to buy something but can't make the sales, please call me at 604-921-1590.<br />
<br />
I'm home most of this week (getting ready) and I'd love to have you come by and pick something out (while I have the stock).<br />
<br />
Here's a peek at some of the colours I've got in the Newsboy style brimmed hat.<br />

<br />
It's funny that when I wore something most people asked to try it on and ending up buying it.<br />
<br />
Is that the power of suggestion at work?<br />
<br />
Anyway if you did come by but didn't find what you were looking for or wanted something a little more custom - please email me or leave a comment here and I'll work with you to make just the right piece of crochet for you.<br />

<br />
Last year I did one - maybe next year I'll do 3. Who knows....<br />
<br />
My first Craft Sale was yesterday (Sunday, Oct 6) at the West Vancouver Pumpkin Fest.<br />
<br />
We had such awesome sunny weather here yesterday and it was perfect day for all the families that came out to enjoy all the pumpkin-y goodness at this free event.<br />
<br />
I had a great time participating in the Open Air Artisans Market and sold a lot of crochet. <br />
<br />
It will be fun to see people around town and on the seawall wearing my stuff!<br />
<br />
Everyone was so friendly and helpful.<br />
<br />
Next to my booth was the Happy Water people and the West Van seniors. The seniors sold out of everything by the end of the day and I missed out on getting one of their delicious looking pies!<br />
<br />
Here's a photo of Zona and I at my booth (I actually took this photo with <a href="http://groopic.com/" target="_blank">Groopic</a>).<br />

Next up is the Gleneagles Christmas Festival on Saturday November 30.<br />
<br />
Yes I will replenish my crochet stock and will be bringing along the boot toppers and more kids hats!<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll see you there?MarieKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09978858839911959261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262540464262996077.post-23165575368520856832013-10-05T21:31:00.003-07:002013-10-05T21:31:41.639-07:00Crochet - Not just for girls anymore!I've been trying to make some crochet cowls for the guys in gray, brown and black.<br />
<br />
But they are going fast and it's hard to keep up with the demand....<br />
<br />
This is a photo of my son wearing one of my cowls that he picked out for himself.<br />
