Patterns & designs

Good morning.

Sorry, I actually forgot to blog yesterday until about 2 a.m. (which would have been today anyway).  I will try to make up for it today.  I will show you the hand crocheted multi-blue/black granny/ripple afghan my sister made.  It is beautiful!  I love this crochet pattern and have been making it for gifts, sale, etc. for many years now.

I bought a pattern years ago (28-ish as I was pregnant with Tiffany my 27 year old daughter) for a crocheted baby blanket.   I believe it was called a rainbow set.  It was 6 different pastel colors and it was such a hit everyone loved it.  I had a problem pregnancy and had to stay off my feet so, I began making the baby blankets to (try to) sell in the swap sheet in Buffalo, NY.  It took off from there.   I decided that I liked the look but not the actual pattern so I began to work on one of my own and made a beautiful blanket/bedspread for my king size waterbed in 6 shades of brown and white.  I also offered it for sale.  We did not have the technology we have today i.e. Internet, Ebay, Etsy, Craigslist - we lived in a small town, Holland.  We didn't even have cable television.  I sold several of these and had customers from as far away as Niagara Falls, NY. ; ) So, with the technology we have today, hopefully this will take off good even though I'm not in the frigid cold of Buffalo, the Internet will take me everywhere.  Coming soon in shades of purple.  We have the blue, shades of pink, and shades of green available on Ebay, Etsy, Yardsellr, Craigslist, etc....
