The first project was an afghan for the new baby. A new take on the traditional granny square.
Random fact #1 Crochet work has been around since the early 1800's
The second project was a crocheted rattle ball. Because we were to have two new grandbabies this fall, two balls were needed.
Random fact # 2 Toy rattles help children improve hand eye coordination by stimulating their senses.
The third was a set of Converse booties. These were started on the day that Charles was unexpectedly born, a project that was to keep me busy during the mom's parathyroid operation.
Random fact #3 Pinterest is a great source for great crochet patterns.
Since the baby would be a little too young to go out for his first upcoming Halloween, it was decided that he would dress as an owl.
Random fact #4 Owls can rotate their heads and necks as much as 270 degrees
The last, a cuddle cocoon and hat. Definitely my favorite.
Random fact #5 I am not fond of spiders or snakes

Adorable crocheted creations Susan! Just love them all, especially the sneaker booties! xo

Just love all your projects and photos, but the best comes last!! Congratulations on that grandbaby!
Such beautiful colors and texture. Worth the work!
What awesome projects!
Oh I love everyone of them but the beautiful baby wrapped in a beautiful wrap has to be my favourite too. You are very talented. B
i love crochet and you've been busy. i so enjoyed this post. i want to do a cuddle cocoon and hat ... a new baby arriving in May and i think i have a pattern, if not -- i'm sure i'll find some pinspiration like you did!
those sneaker booties just got me! Too cute. and so is that baby!

Susan I so envy your skill at crochet I just can't 'get it '.
The blanket looks so snuggly...
Beautiful work! I know how to knit, but learning to crochet is on my to do list. So inspiring!
Well, I thought I liked the Converse shoes best, but then I got to the cocoon! Oh my goodness, it's adorable! And I love the colors. The setting in the basket is just toooo cute.
Visiting from Friday Finds.
Beautiful crochet work! THat has to be the sweetest baby picture I have ever seen!
Susan, These are fabulous! I dug out my crochet hooks when my grandbaby was born too. It made for a nice trip down memory lane. Glad styles have changed somewhat from the 7o's. That hat is tooooo adorable.
Adorable! I used to crochet on a Saturday afternoon with my great-grandma - we made a huge blanket for the bed - I wonder what happened it?
Too cute! I wish I could crochet, but I suppose it's all my fault because I don't stick with it long enough to learn. I'd just like to know how to make those Japanese flowers because I'd really like to have a Japanese flower scarf. :) Hope you have a lovely weekend Susan.
Awesome projects!!!
I love to crochet/knit.....I need to get back into it.
