Spring Wreath with Funfur


Everyone has been making these awesome 
Spring Wreaths using fun fur, 
so I just had to made one of my own.
So I gathered my Supplies.
A  Wreath
1 Skein of Fun fur
I crocheted some 
Flowers and Butterflies
a couple of big buttons
 And
A crochet ami of 
Maximo and Rosie my 
Daughter made me.
I just began wrapping the fun fur

around the wreath...
 it took the whole skein.
What is he doing in there?
Everything I make is not for you!
Then I attached a few of the 
flowers and butterflies.
I put My Ami 
Maximo and Rosie on the wreath, 
then Hung it on the door
and took a picture.
OOPSIE!
Much better!

Paw Print Dog Sweater Crochet Pattern

I designed a new Dog Sweater :
Paw Print Dog Sweater.

It was quite the challenge, as I included a graph or chart 
for the paw print on the back of the sweater.


I have never done a graph for crochet before,
 and I learned a lot along the way.


How to change colors neatly, trailing your yarn, 
having several balls of yarn attached 
at the same time,
and of course, 
how to read and incorporate
 the graph into the pattern.
It was fun.
I have several more graph style dog sweaters 
I am going to design, floating around in my head!!!
If you would like the pattern you can find in in my
Crochet Pattern Shops.
