I was just thinking about my big New Year’s Resolution for 2013. I wanted to learn a new hobby- particularly focusing on crocheting\/knitting. While I haven’t quite gotten excited about knitting, I feel pretty good about nailing the crochet part of my resolution.<\/p>\n

Here is a year in review with some of my favorite projects.<\/p>\n

\"corchetcollage2\"<\/a>I did a lot of crocheted flower\/bow-tie collars for rescue, along with birds that could be sold<\/a> to raise money for IGCA rescue, too. (And I made several birds as gifts for friends, too!)<\/p>\n

\"2013crochetaccessories\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have made several cute booties and accessories for friends and others, but these are my favorite. Evelyn’s owl hat was a blast to make. I still adore her pink boots<\/a> That she wore for a while back in February, along with her “Converse sneakers<\/a>“. (Now that I think of it… those “barefoot sandals” from the same post as the sneakers were pretty sweet, too!) The fingerless gloves in the middle were a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law, and it’s hard to tell from the picture, but there’s strands of glittery silver mixed in with the yarn, which is a super soft blend of merino wool and silk lace weight yarn. They were so soft and beautiful!<\/p>\n

\"2013Amigurumi\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, all the stuffed animals\/ amigurumi items I made were both a major pain and so fun to try out. While I thought that Link<\/a> and Yoshi<\/a> were going to kill me to assemble, the end results were absolutely worth it! (You are welcome, Jacob and Stephen. Like my college-aged brothers have time to read my blog, though! \ud83d\ude09 ) Evelyn’s birds, bear<\/a>, and birthday owl<\/a> were easy enough, but great softies for her. And the patterns from Creepy Cute Crochet<\/a> (Ninjas, Amazon Warrior Princess, and Grim Reaper) were all great learning experiences, as well as fun gifts and decorations.<\/p>\n

As far as meeting a New Year’s Resolution, I think this year I hit it out of the ball park! It’s so neat to look back on the past year and see what I’ve accomplished when this time last year, I couldn’t even do a single crochet stitch. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
