Candy Corn Cat Sweater

I made Mustard a Halloween costume this year.  I found this cute Candy Corn Pet Sweater pattern from DIY Maven and decided that Mustard should get one.  I only made it for one of my cats because I knew my other cat wouldn’t let me get anywhere near him with a crochet sweater without it entailing me loosing skin.  Although, the thought of matching sweaters is tempting... 

I think the sweater turned out good.  If I had to do it again I would make it longer because Mustard has a long body.  Mustard didn't really mind it, but he was walking around backwards because he couldn't figure out what had a hold on him.

Crochet Sampler Afghan


Can you believe it…another finish!  These have been far and few this year.  I started this crochet sampler afghan in May and just finished it the other week.  It’s been a busy year with school and work, not leaving much time for projects.  Here is the link for the pattern I used.  I added 4 extra squares to make the lap blanket a little bigger so it ended up being 4x4 squares.  I used "I Love This Yarn" from Hobby Lobby.  If you have a ravelry account more project details are here.
 







 
Maybe if I'm lucky I'll finish something else this year.
