I have been working on a new doily this week, and it did not go as I had planned.
It is supposed to be an Autumn/Thanksgiving themed doily, and I thought it would be pretty to incorporate rounds of little Autumn leaves worked in different colors. But I just couldn't seem to get the leaves to look right. After several failed attempts, I tried working groups of 3 tr clusters together. I thought the result was pretty, but it really looked more like a bird foot or track than a leaf to me. "It looks like a turkey foot," I thought. And the more I thought about it, the more the idea grew on me; why not have rounds of turkey tracks instead of leaves? That is certainly a Thanksgiving theme! So, the name of the doily was changed to "Turkey Tracks." I should have the pattern ready for you next week.
But it is Friday, so let's have a contest! I will give one person their choice of any PDF pattern on my site, bellacrochet.com or my Etsy shop bellacrochetEtsy
I will select the winner at random, and send out the patterns in the morning (Saturday.) I will post the name of the winner here, so be sure to check back in the morning to see if you won. If I do not hear back from the winner within 7 days, I will select a new winner. Failure to contact me will result in the forfeiture of all prizes.

Well, of course I have a crochet project going right now! What else would I be doing? LOL
Yes, I am crocheting Christmas tree-shaped ornaments using size 10 thread. They will be different colors (yes, I know Christmas trees do not normally come in pink, but...) for the grands. They will be package trims that can be ornaments next year. Every year I make them ornaments. They must have quite a collection by now!
Yes, I always have a project going. I am making a Santa backpack. Fun,Fun,Fun! Thanks for the opportunity to win a lovely pattern from your site. Thank you.

At this moment, I've joined the "Worlds Biggest Stocking" to add to our Hero's that serve this Country, stocking. I'm pretty excited to see the outcome of it when it's done by people across the Country! So this is what I'm working on :)

I've always have something on my hook. Right now I have a doily and I'm putting squares together for senior lapghans. I love crocheting!
My current crochet projects are boot cuffs, hats, and scarves. I would like to make some new doilies and a table runner this winter too. Happy Holidays to you, Susan N.

I always have projects going; right now I am working on Christmas Doilies.
As usual I have several going at once! I keep one by my recliner, one by my bed, & usually a couple more that I got bogged down in (or were for myself & were pushed to the side to work on projects for other people!). One can never have enough yarn, patterns, or projects!
I pretty much always have a crochet project in the works. :)
Hi! Kenzie's gramma here. I am working on crocheted AG doll clothes.
I have too many to count and a white board list of what needs to be done... Unfortunately, my whiteboard has been rubbed against too many times and I can't read half of it!
I am crocheting a toy bunny and a toy giraffe as Christmas presents! Very cute!
I am working on suncatcher/dreamcatcher for Christmas gifts :)
