LITTLE BITTY SHOULDER SHAWLS & LEG WARMERS - CROCHET

After I bought myself a warm shoulder shawl in Florence, Italy, I started looking around for them for my 14 month old daughter.  Well, I couldn't find any whatsoever, so I decided to crochet some for her.  Later I made this green one for my friend with ribbon woven into the top of it to make it adjustable, so it will last her a few more months as the baby grows.

Here they are - GO MAKE SOME!





LITTLE BITTY BALLET SLIPPERS - CROCHET

More fun with crochet.  I found these adorable ballet slippers on youtube made by The Jilted Ballerina.  There are 3 video tutorials for how to make them, so I just followed those
(I posted them below for you).
So far, I have made 4 pair - 1 for a friend whose baby girl is 3 mos old, 1 for the hubs' cousin whose baby girl is due in April 2012, 1 for our 14 month old princess, and 1 for our princess that is due in February 2012.  
Here are some pictures of them - GO MAKE SOME!

MY 1ST NEWBORN CROCHET DRESS

Lately, I have been on a crochet marathon. 
 It all started with making the blanket for our new little princess that should arrive in February.  
I found this really adorable newborn dress with a FREE pattern and got to work.   
I am giving it to my hubby's cousin for her daughter due in April 2012.
 Go check it out here at One Hook Two Sticks.

Mine turned out like this:
