Hey all! Just a reminder that a new featured Craft Corps crafter goes up every Tuesday. Take a moment to read, connect and share today with these amazingly creative people. Oh, and if you haven’t done so already, please tell your own story by filling out a profile. Craft is community; community is craft. Join the movement!
In unrelated news, as some of you who follow me on Twitter or Facebook know, I had been working on a crocheted 4th of July dress for my wee girl. My boys were with their dad this holiday, so they escaped my crafty costuming. Clover however, was alllll mine to decorate! 😉
I had originally planned to come up with something for her made completely out of red, white & blue granny squares. The squares morphed into triangles however and once I’d made two of them, I couldn’t resist how cute they’d be as little chi-chi covers. The result is this patriotic, halter dress. Tee hee! I may make her another one in a less Americana colorway too and if you’re interested, I’ll (eventually) write-up the pattern and make it available to you.
Which brings me to my questions: Are any of you interested in me putting together a project that’s all baby pattern related? If so, would you want a book, an e-book (something you could just download), more individual projects, or some other format? Lastly, would you want it to be all knitting & crochet or would you prefer there be some sewing, embellishing and/or paper crafts involved? Or, are you so darn sick of all the baby stuff out there, that you’d gag if you saw another one? I’m just doing a little informal poll so if you wouldn’t mind posting your thoughts here, I’d really appreciate it!
