November Recap and Free Wreath Pattern
This November was a super busy month! I had a market in St. Augustine early November so the first week was frantically spent finishing up getting ready and doing any last minute makes. I spent the week making a bunch of smaller items like tiny axolotls, loaf cats, and scrunchies. I sold a couple of Halloween items, and now we’re gearing up for fall and Christmas items! It was great to get out and see other crocheters and other crafters! I have one more market in Palm Bay on December 7th from 10am-2pm at 590 Malabar Road. If you’re in the area, come check us out!
This month I was also excited to release my Phoenix, the Husky Reindeer pattern! This pattern was modeled after my husky, Phoenix and I love how cute he turned out! Keep an eye out for the regular husky pattern and more dog breeds coming in the future! Thank you to the amazing testers who helped me test this pattern and get it ready for release: @whimsycrittercrochet, @crochetedbyMandy, @Mist_Owl_Crochet, @amethyst_moon_artistry and @brookies.24. Check them out on instagram!
This month we also had a lot of fun making patterns from other designers. I made a Christmas themed version of Winnie the Dragon by @redmillscrochet. She has beautiful Christmas eyes that I hand-painted and fairy lights that trail down her fur stripe so she can light up! The chubby moth man also by @redmillscrochet was super quick and easy to work up! I plan to make a mothman in black with red eyes as well. I made the @LyreLuneSofties Pteradactyl from her Dino friends bundle. And probably my favorite pattern to try this month was Kain the Quetzalcoatl by @Maris_Stuffies! This pattern took a bit longer than I expected, but it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed learning about short rows! I definitely plan to learn more about the technique so I can use it in my own designs in the future.
And finally, my free pattern for this month is a little wreath ornament! If you want the pdf version of this pattern, or just want to support me, you can buy it in my shop!
