MY JOURNEY INTO THE WAFFLE STITCH

A couple of weeks ago I was looking at a site's sale books on crochet, and came across a book teaching how to do the Waffle Stitch. Being retired and poor, I didn't have the money to buy the book. My brain kicked into gear and I hopped on over to Youtube and searched out 'Waffle Stitch", watched a video and began work on another crocheted baby afghan COMPLETELY WITHOUT reading a pattern. This was a first for me because, although I consider myself creative, I have never really been able to create something without reading instructions....so I am really proud of how this "Mint Waffle Baby Afghan" turned out.

I would love to have your comments about this pattern! Please give honest feedback.

CROCHETED GIFT BAGS

I just sold a set of 5 of these adorable mini gift bags to a customer on Etsy.

It's always nice to give a gift packaged 'out of the box', so why not give it in one of these cute mini crocheted gift bags? They are crocheted using a soft 3-ply baby yarn in an ombre color...Giggle! Additionally they have a white ribbon tie and measure approximately 2: wide x 1.75" high...perfect for holding a pair of earrings, or even some BIG cash.

I purchased this pattern from Melbangel on Etsy...she has some really cute PDF patterns...and so great that you can download them right from the email she sends you upon receiving payment. Her instructions are awesome!

I have other shades of baby ombre yarn and will be making up more sets real soon...so if you like these and have a color preference, please convo me at http://grannyscraftattic.etsy.com
