Little Man Work Boots

Kids love to emulate their loved ones around them. I remember wearing my mother’s heels and scarves thinking “Now FINALLY I’m an adult!” Why not start them off early :) We are their best tools to learn about the world and that feeling of equality was nothing short of awesome. I will never forget the high heel days of my childhood (lol) now you can begin those memories right when they are born and create some very awesome photo moments. I am so glad you are letting me be a part of that with you! These are 

Chrome Themes

Do you use Chrome as your internet browser? I do (and love it) and one day, I went to the Chrome Themes Store only to find there were no crochet or even yarn related themes! I was quite shocked, especially with how crochet is becoming more and more popular again. So I kicked in my "day job" technical skills and threw together a few themes using a few of my favorite crochet pictures that I have taken. If we can't crochet at work, at least now we can get a visual :) 

 I do plan to keep adding

For the Love of the V-Stitch Scarf Crochet Pattern

---

Oh how I adore the V-Stitch, don't you?? It goes so quickly and looks amazing with just about anything you make! I just love how versatile it is. You get a fabric with flexibility and not stiff plus it looks lacy as if you did all this trickery...yet you didn't and you are not married to a gauge that you have to measure all the time to make sure you are still working on a garment that will fit a human :) I have never given a V-Stitch item to someone where they didn't love it! This scarf is an all around win-win and with the holidays coming up - you can't lose! You could easily knock this one out in

3D Three Layer Interchangeable Crochet Flower Pattern

Make that outfit perfect by switching out your flower accessory each time! Can’t you just eat up those pictures you see with the babies and the hats with huge flowers on them? Or that bag with a flower motif that is just too yummy! How about an interchangeable flower that you can make in any color(s) you choose and switch out as you like? Here you go! When I came up with this flower, I wanted a big, frilly flower for a baby hat I was making but I didn’t want to limit mom to just a pink flower. I made the middle just large enough to fit over the button on the hat I made so she can switch out the flowers to better coordinate with the outfits. Big flower – check. Interchangeable – check. And you know what? It is

I am so excited to start blogging about crochet! I never get to talk about it to folks around me. When I start I always get the standard eyes glaze over with the occasional courtesy "uh huh" or "ok" or "yeah" lol. I know there are ALOT of crochet blogs out there as well. I do hope you find mine a little entertaining to keep the glaze over out of your eyes ha!

Crocheting for me is such a relaxing get away from the world and I am so lucky to have a husband that fully supports my hobby :)

As I was making various items and reading patterns, that is when my creativity sparked! I do some graphic design and computer programming as my ‘real’ job, so being creative kind of is my job. Writing patterns is something that I really enjoy and just seeing something that I have thought about come together and to be able to share it with others is amazing! Thus came Yarntivity. Being creative with yarn is something we should do every day. 

I am a married mom with an amazing family. My husband and I have been together since 1994 and every year gets better and better! 

Crochet for me is a vacation. It is so relaxing and I absolutely love creating all these different items for everyone! I have so many pattern ideas in my head and projects that I have lined up to do, there isn’t enough time in the world! ha ha

We live on a single income and are raising our teenage daughter. I work full-time supporting my family and crochet/design in the evenings and weekends. My husband has Multiple Sclerosis
