Yarnjeannie's Crochet Cache

I hope that everyone is celebrating with loved ones today. I have been asked to design something and I've been working on it very hard.  To do it in tapestry crochet wasn't giving me the results I had in mind, and working it on a diagonal wasn't doing it either.  I'm going to have to give the project more thought. I put together some sea friends this weekend.  I have ideas for more.  Doing them on the fly without a pattern.

Dolls!  I love making dolls.  Unfortunately, I have no granddaughters or I would be showering them with dolls!

I have someone contacting me through my blog asking for the pattern for a doll I crocheted (L'il Buster).  I have informed her where she can purchase the pattern (from Kathleen Early- easily found on the web) and kindly declined to provide her with a copy.  Her e-mails come through in Spanish and she says she has the pattern but it's blurry.  I asked her if she has a photocopy of the pattern and if so, that isn't permissible.  I also told her I will not provide her with another photocopy.  I keep getting comments from her and I've had to mark her latest as spam, in order to stop the conversation in its tracks.  I will not - ever - provide anyone with a copy of a pattern used to make any of the items I show on my blog.  I purchased the pattern and others can do the same.  I respect the copyrights of others. If you see something on my blog that you like - thank you for your kind comments.  But please don't ask me to provide you with the p...

Okay, no one needed scarves...LOL!  My giveaway went nowhere.  I will probably donate them somewhere. My latest project on my hook is a doll I just finished.  Next is a dog for my grandson.  Here are photos of the doll.  She is 18 inches tall.  I love crocheting dolls.  I will probably send one or two to the hospital.

I am offering a spring scarf to two lucky winners.  In order to take a chance on winning one of these scarves, just comment on this post stating you would like to take part in the contest.  On February 28, I will pull the names of 2 of the commenters, and the first winner will take the multi-colored scarf and the second name will take the pink.  Or, I may offer the first name pulled to choose the color they want, and the second name pulled will receive the remaining scarf.  On 2/28, I will announce the names - check back to see if your name appears.  If so, I will contact you, or if I'm not able to reach you, you may contact me through my blog.  If you have any questions, please let me know. Here are photos of the scarves:

Here are the photos of some of the baby blankets I completed and my grandson's angry bird hat.  I've been having a blast crocheting.  I've missed it terribly.  I currently have two more blankets almost ready.  1 purple and white and 1 blue and white.
