Baby It's Cold Outside

Join us at Maker Festivals Pennsylvania, the ultimate crafting extravaganza in Lancaster from July 31-August 3, 2024, and we will once again be bringing our fiber artists with us! Our festival lineup will have thousands of fiber artists, and jewelry makers!

It's busy over here, behind the screens of Crochet me. So busy that I have taken the time to crochet a scarf. Just one scarf. In the last two or three months. But now I'm presented with a problem: Months ago I promised a sweater to a baby. A really cute baby. I started knitting the sweater in October and I never finished. Now the baby went and grew too big for this unfinished knitted sweater, and I have four more days until the sweater needs to be handed over. *Trumpets sound.* Crochet me to the rescue!

Thanks to the brilliance of Julie Holetz, I'm more than halfway through crocheting a bigger sweater. Julie's pattern is simple, adorable, and really is a quickie. Here's my progress so far:

I'm using Sirdar Denim Chunky and a 7mm hook, and I tweaked the pattern a bit so that my sweater will be somewhat larger than the 12-month size. I got some ridiculously soft and fun-coloured yarn for the trim, and I'll show you the pics when I'm done. It feels great to be actually crocheting again!

Update: I lied. I just remembered I've crocheted almost an entire hat.
