2012 CAL

I've decided that 2012 is the year I'm actually going to do a CAL (Crochet-A-Long). I've been thinking about it for a while. I wanted to do one this past May, but I didn't find it until about the 3rd, and I didn't want to be behind! That one was a square a day, and while I still want to make the squares, I have to figure out a time to do it. Then I thought maybe I should figure out one myself, but like, a square a week, or a square a month. Then I found this one!

I initially found it from Eileen's blog, Crochet Attic. Check out her blog, if you already haven't. It then sends you to SusanD's blog, CrochetAddict. You can find all of the info on her blog. There is a link to Ravelry, where you will find her group and all of the patterns.

I am excited to start this CAL. It goes along perfectly with my stash busting goal for 2012. I have the wool I want to use picked out, but I just need to find it! But, the best news is that I don't have to have it done for a month! Once I get through a few little projects that I have on the go, I'll dig through my wool and find the right stuff. The first pattern is super easy, so I'm excited! I think I could easily make it larger if I want to, which I love.

Anyways, I hope you all have a great new year's eve! I'm relaxing in bed right now, and I'm thinking I should go and get my crochet to keep me busy!

Mini Stockings

I hope you all had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! I was very spoiled, once again. It was a good Christmas in our household.

Before Christmas, I made a couple of the cutest stockings for a friend and her daughter.

Made using Red Heart Super Saver in Shaded Dusk & Lt. Blue

Made using Red Heart Super Saver in Calliope & Cornmeal

Both stockings were super easy to make. You can find the pattern here. I definitely plan on making more of these next year!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and I wish you all nothing but the best in the new year!
