I love to crochet, especially in the fall and winter when the weather turns cool. It always reminds me of my grandmothers (Granny and Big Mama) who both crocheted and who taught me how.

I have been working on a line of toys for the shop and they are turning out so cute.

A puppy, a monkey, and a kitty…

A bunny, a bear, a dinosaur….

A better view of the dinosaur and a giraffe.

Several sold at the festival on Saturday but they are so much fun to make I’ll get busy and see what else I can come up with soon. 🙂

Sweaters for the Boys

Posted in Crochet, Dogs, tagged Crochet, daily painter, dog sweater, Dogs, sweater, Virginia Artist on October 12, 2010| 2 Comments »

I have been working on sweaters for the boys to wear out at the cabin during hunting season. I worry about them running loose there with all the hunters around. Last year I put an orange t-shirt on Jed thinking that would work and he came back about 30 minutes later without it. I never did find that shirt.

So this year I am making crocheted sweaters that fit tight enough that they can’t pull them off. Here is Lincoln modeling his Hunter Orange sweater.

And here is Jed in a teal one that I made first as a prototype. I had to play with the pattern to make it fit my long and low dogs. Now on to make an orange one for Jedder Bean! (Although he looks so handsome in Teal!)

Too tired after the Festival to do anything. I’ll take photos of the paintings I worked on and get those on the blog tomorrow.

This is Lincoln’s favorite sleep position. We were napping….or trying to. 🙂
