#elf coat

I finished the skirt portion of the Elf Coat (pattern by @moralefiber). I decided to steam it as I go. Not very happy with the large blocks of color between each color change in the yarn, but I am still loving the pattern.

I was just starting to plan my summer fairy gardens and I woke up to 2 hours of having to shovel snow!!!

Oh well, onto this week's crochet plans.

I am really happy with my Elf Coat progress so far. This week I plan to crochet the right front and get it steamed.

2. Still working on the Cuddle Noodles, and I keep getting more ideas. I have added some Neck Noodle pillows to the pattern. Getting those done this week then finishing the slip covers. Hoping patterns will be able to be published in 2 weeks.

Found out the friend's baby shower will be May 2. I had a bit of a panic about it last week and got most of the blanket done. Now I realize I have a little more than 4 weeks until it's needed and only about 6 rounds to work. I am loving the way the pattern is turning out.

And there's still be basic stitch tutorials on the go. I am making a series demonstrating the basic stitches in rows and rounds, creating a washcloth for each post. I am also going to be including some basic free hat patterns with some fun pompom designs. (Just realized by the time I'm done this it will be summer) oh well, it was middle of winter when the inspiration struck!

I somehow lost a day this week (it could be the massive amount of snow shovelings I've been doing!?!) I just realized that today is Saturday. Where did Friday go?

I am so excited to have finally started on the Elf Coat pattern by @moralefiber. Got a good start on the skirt part panels and am loving the tunisian crochet ... looks just like knitting.

With all my life changes my For Me Friday posts have turned into For Me Fifteenth posts. Having crocheted for decades and realizing that I had never made anything for myself I am devoting a small amount of crochet time each month to work on a project just for me.

I am still working on the tunisian crochet Elf Coat. (Pattern purchased here.) I think I started it about 7 months ago. And now I am so close.

Just recently I finished crocheting the trim. Next to do: steam the trim, sew on the buttons. Then wear with the satisfaction of actually making a wearable for myself.

Back with another Manic Monday where I create my crochet to-do plans for the week. But first here is a picture of my Rock Garden. Can you see my little Starchild?

Okay onto my crochet stuff. Here are this week's plans:

So close to completing mt For Me Friday Elf Coat. Unfortunately it takes me about 1 1/2 hours to do a round of trim, I've got 1 round done, this week I will do 1 more round.

Didn't get any editing done on my Harlequin Onesie, I had a little too much pattern editing, writing, and formatting stuff for shops going on last week, and it always takes way longer than I plan it to. So the Onesie will hopefully be done this week.

I still have 5 more Meditation to list this week for my side project for my Crystals & Crochet with a Pinch of Rosemary (making products that involve "intentional crocheting".

The Flat Hat patterns have been written and formatted, the pattern will be posted this week.

Here's a quick look at my to-do sticky note cabinet, didn't add any new ones today, but did get a few pulled off last week.

And my Crochet to-do queue has not changed:
