Crochet Collage

 



Hey Everyone!

Thanks so much for all the positive responses that have been coming in about the ponchos. That really makes me feel great. I have been steadily working on more ponchos for you guys so here are a few more photos. As you can see there are some for little girls too!

When we last talked I figured no one would need a book on crocheting since I will be filling all the orders, but I found a couple of books in my collection that really helped me when I started crocheting. I have made blankets, scarves, hats for years and even expanded my range by crocheting myself and entire outfit for a wedding a few years ago. I made a top and skirt with a wrap and a little purse. These books helped me tremendously so here you go...

Learn to Crochet in 8 easy steps by Susan Bates is a very good book with step by step instructions which are pretty easy to follow.

63 Easy- to- Crochet Pattern Stitches by Leisure Arts is another I relied on heavily in my work.

Crocheting is alot of fun but it is not a very easy thing to do. Having the right person to help you or the right book at your side is the best way to go when you get started.

However, as I mentioned before, if you just want to look good in a custom made poncho, just for you, give me a call at 484-674-1290. I would love to make a beautiful new creation for you!

Crochet for the New Year

 


Good Day Everyone!

The new year has begun and I have been working on some different things. Number one, I wore my favorite poncho out a few months ago before the weather turned BITTER COLD and a surprising thing happened. Several ladies saw me and were intrigued enough to inquire as to where I got the "Fabulous Poncho". Well, after I finished blushing, I told these interested ladies that I had created the poncho myself, just for fun!

Following this revelation, that my ponchos are eye catching and always a conversation piece whenever I wear one, I decided to take on a few orders and just see what happened. Needless to say, the response was tremendous! I filled two orders before the holidays and I have several more I am working on now.

Most people appreciate crochet art but cannot do it themselves. Others stick with making the basic things such as blankets and such. The patterns can be very challenging so if any of you are intersted in learning contact me for the basic lesson before you go any further.

Let me know what you think of the pieces here, okay. call Celeste at 484-674-1290 or email baileysbookworm@yahoo.com
