Fabulous Fall Fashion Crochet Patterns Part Two- Sweater Edition

One of the things that has been on my hooking bucket list for a long time has been to crochet me a sweater. I bought a really cute pattern a few months ago, and have been itching for the free time to make it, but haven't yet had the chance. As luck would have it though, the designer of that pattern came up with a fabulous new sweater pattern and chose me as one of her testers. Having a deadline really helped me to be able to sit down and make me a sweater, and I am so thrilled with the result!

This week though, I am so excited to introduce you to my friend Angela from SASS! We met through the Crochetpreneur Business Academy and have been encouraging one another for over a year as we grow our businesses. I was totally shocked when she mentioned her grandbaby one day, because she so does not look old enough for grandkids! (I honestly thought she was younger than me for months into our friendship)

Berry Fun Beret- FREE Crochet Pattern

Guess what- its another Free Pattern Friday! This month has flown by (which is crazy since July was 6 years long), and I've still managed to put out three patterns. How this happened I am not quite sure, but it did. Earlier in the month, the Friendship Prayer Shawl was published, and last week I released the Kenzie Blanket which has quickly become my most popular pattern to date! To finish off this awesome month, I have decided to treat you to a freebie- the Berry Fun Beret. I had so much fun designing this one, and I am sure you will have fun making it!

Pattern Release: the Kenzie Blanket

When I finished designing the original Kenzie Blanket (the preemie size), I was astounded at how tiny it is. And this little blanket would have been more than large enough for her mom to swaddle her in. The blanket itself is 22"x24", which is just a little bit bigger than lovey-sized. Kenzie's story is nothing short of a miracle, and there are so many more wonderful stories of preemie babies. This one just happens to be the closest to my heart.

I love the crochet business owner community; nobody is a competitor which is super strange in the business world. We all encourage one another and help each others' businesses grow through collaboration and encouragement. It always surprises me how we can all come together and celebrate each other's successes. And it is so much fun making new friends from all over the world! This month, I want to introduce you to my friend Emma, who is on the complete opposite side of the globe from me in Australia!
