Block a Month Crochet A' Long



I decided I would try the BAMCAL this year.  Its only the beginning of February, so I'm not too late.  I finished the January Main Block and February Main Block already and am probably going to do the filler blocks too.

Baby Crocodile Stitch Boots.

These little boots were a pain to make, I tried a pattern for the sole and foot, but it didn't look right with the color changes.  I decided the sole was good enough, but from there I made these without a pattern.  I might possibly write down what I did if anybody is interested.  They turned out super cute, I only wish I had yarn that was dyed better for this project.

Crochet Chicken Ornament



One of my aunts loves chicken decorations, especially for her kitchen, so I made her some tiny crochet chicken ornaments. These little chickens are about 2.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide. After I finished making them, I used some glue to stiffen them and added a cord to hang them on the Christmas tree. Those steps are completely optional though. There definitely is a right side to them, but the wrong side doesn’t look too bad, it’s just a little harder to see the beak and comb.




You can get the pattern on Ravelry



I used this how to guide with white craft glue to stiffen my ornaments
