Meow!

Where has the time gone?

I know not.

Last thing I knew it was Christmas. All of a sudden it's like the end of January, or something.

Anyhoos, I've had a fair few crochet projects on the go and I thought I'd share one.

Kitty-cat cushion.

Very simple to make. Pretty quick, too. 

You make two identical pieces, crocheted back and forth in single crochet rows and then you add some stuffing and single crochet them together.

Could not be easier, I assure you.

Look, Kitty even gets on well with Scottie dog.

The patterns are available in my Etsy shop just over there on the left toolbar.

Hope your January has been enjoyable and hasn't flown by too quickly.

I'll be back soon with news of a blanket I'm making (Shock. Horror. Yes, a blanket. I am surprising myself with this one)

Some slippers and a Christmas Eve Giveaway

Hello, you lovely lot.

How are we all? 

Ready for Christmas?

No, me either.

Well never mind.

I've been too busy making slippers! 

They started off life as baby booties (I have new baby twin nieces- awwwww) from a pattern I'd found on the interweb, but me, being me decided to simplify things a bit and create my own pattern...

Very nice I thought.

And then one of my lovely Instagram buddies asked if I could use t-shirt yarn to make an adult version.

Great idea. Game on....

And so, armed with my trusty mega-hooks (12mm and 15mm) I set about my task.

Ooooooo, me likey!

So soft and squidgey (and made using one cone of Hooplayarn with plenty left over, too),

If you fancy making a pair, then the pattern's available in my Etsy shop. Just click on the link over there on the left. The pattern shows how to make various sizes, too.

And now for the second part of my post...

A famous Reindeer

You know Dasher, and Dancer, andPrancer, and Vixen,
Comet, and Cupid, and
Donner and Blitzen
But do you recallThe most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeerHad a very shiny noseAnd if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!"

Awww and Mister Fox loves his new friend, too!

If you'd like to make yourself a Rudolph, or a Mister Fox, then head on over to my Etsy shop where you'll find the patterns.

Not sure about you, but it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here at Annaboo's House!

Happy making, everyone!
