Sometimes things work out just the way you imagined

You've probably heard the saying, "inspiration is all around us", well this
 is definitely true, I get ideas about what I'd like to make and how I'd like the finished product to look all the time.

Problem is sometimes those ideas just don't work out and the finished product just isn't what I imagined at all. There seems to be a lot of those days, and I know to get it right, there are times we have to...try, try, again.

Yippee, today wasn't one of those days for me. I smiled when I look at my new Koala Bear's face and love the way his personality turned out. Maybe he'll make you smile too.

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.
