New Turtle Crochet Pattern

This turtle did his best to test me, but he's finally finished. I hope you turtle lovers like him.

Simply Cute Turtle Pattern is available through Ravelry, Craftsy or from The Wool Purl on Etsy

Heavy Snow Day

We sure have been spoiled this year with just a little snow and mild temperatures. It's been so nice in fact, I almost forgot what February in Illinois was supposed to be like until yesterday. We got hit with some nice heavy, snowball packing snow. The flakes where about the size of potato chips. It was definitely pretty this morning if you didn't have to drive. I was lucky and got to see it from my kitchen window while finishing up my newest pattern. What do you think. Are there any monkey lovers are there?

New Crochet Patterns

I've been wanting to get some crochet patterns down on paper (so to speak, how about typed and saved on my computer), but thinking about it and actually doing it have definitely been two different things. I'm thrilled to say it's happening. Two are finished and more are on in the making.

I've added both new patterns to the Etsy shop, "The Wool Purl" and my Ravelry Store is up and running.

Both patterns are quick and easy so you can have them finished in no time. You might even get them done in time to wrap and give as a gift.

Simply Cute Lamb is 12 inches tall and uses worsted weight and boucle yarn with a G hook. Simply Cute Bear is 11 inches tall and also uses worsted weight yarn and a G hook. Both patterns can be crocheted with smaller hooks and lighter weight yarn for a smaller tighter gauge toy.
