The Hot Pink Valentine's Hat

The hat is finished! I just completed weaving in the ends. This is the hat I started crocheting yesterday morning (See previous post). It is also #8 in the 52in52-2012 challenge that I'm participating in on Ravelry. The first 7 items were knitted and can be seen on my knitting blog at http://bayareaknitter.blogspot.com If you also enjoy knitting, check it out!

Groundhog Day Cupcakes!

I'm volunteering in my son's kindergarten class today and just had to share these adorable groundhog cupcakes. One of the mother's made them and brought them for the class to enjoy at snack time. I think they're just too cute! Happy Groundhog Day!

A Crocheted Valentine's Hat

I just started working on a super soft, hot pink hat this morning. It consists of mostly double crochet stitches. It will be sent to Florida to be included in a friend's Valentine's Photo Shoot. I can't wait to share the photos after the shoot. I will post a picture of the finished hat before I send it. Hope to have it done later today! ~Christine

A New Year... And finally a New Post...

I do apologize for being away for so long... Life and time have a way of getting away from a person if they don't slow down a bit. I have decided to make a point of doing just that. I've also been doing alot of thinking about where I wanted to go with this blog. In the past year I have been teaching knitting/crochet classes at Beverly's Fabric & Crafts store in San Jose, CA. So I would like to incorporate my class info into this blog as well as providing information about my own custom knits and anything else that relates to crocheting.
You will notice some changes over the next month or so. I'll be cleaning this blog up and making it a bit more user friendly. Out with the old and in with the new!
In the meantime, stay tuned as I plan to start blogging more often again. And as always, feedback is always welcome!  :)

Alpaca Love

I just adore alpacas and thought that this video was just too cute not to share!
