Tiffany Hansen I started grabbing pics of different tunisian crochet projects I have finished and worked on through the years.  I didn't realize it was so many, lol... 

The sweater stole that I designed and made for Sandra Palmer  last weekend :)

I'm curious, what is everyone's favorite colors?  I thought of making this as a poll but there are alot of color options out there.  I think color families are helpful too.  I love rainbow, strong vibrant colors, neutrals, gem tones and fall colors.  I like blue, greens, reds, browns, grays, blacks, purples some orange and yellows... love sparkle.  (I don't really like pink but I'll use it if needed, lol ).

I finished testing this free Godiva tee crochet pattern recently for this top from Heart Hook Home. She released it yesterday so I can finally share it with everyone.  I used Cecilia cotton from Ice yarns and I made a size Large. It's a bit larger on me than I like personally and I also modified the arm holes for the sleeves to make them a bit smaller because mine came out too big and it was creating an odd bulge. I let the designer know but I'm not sure if she modified the pattern for the larger sizes or not. As with any wearables if you are making it for yourself I recommend you try it on as your making it.

The two baby dresses I just finished making. I decided to use the Coboo magenta border. These are the first baby dresses I have ever made. I am not sure if they will fit her okay since I had to modify the video tutorials and guess on the sizing because I don't have the babies measurements and they are currently vacationing and visiting family in Texas.  Once they go back home to Costa Rica I can't mail them the dresses or a blanket or any gifts, the post system down there sucks.  I also made my first two cactus amigurumi's and it didn't hurt my hands. :)

There is a Free Online Garment Crochet Summit 2024 this weekend, it starts tomorrow:  https://www.hanjancrochet.com/2024-crochet-garment-summit/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1gh6mq7KAtZfirT4OFNOvCFEi83WBj52ZI8TQKld25_peS_e6trIhyYqs_aem_AdOBXFTp5xy39HE-jfVt9ben6yEcIchE4guZuwtQUhHy75F1X_KgqByqZlduD1d97atPI88y6M6VWeeV761Zu4Tg

I just finished a blanket that I will be donating for Bag O Day Crochet's auction to raise funds for a local animal rescue.  I used Caron Simply Soft yarn (color ways used: Feathered Grey and Dark country blue). Has anyone washed and / or dried this yarn in washing machine and dryer and how did it turn out?  Thanks.  I'm thinking of washing it in cold water on delicate and drying it on delicate with low heat in the dryer.  I don't usually lay big blankets out flat to dry because of how much space they take up and I don't want to hang them.  It's Geometric Interlocking crochet, it's a free pattern from Yarnspirations and the crochet crowd has a video tutorial for it. I used a I9/5.5mm crochet hook. I made the blanket bigger than the pattern, I used 3.25 skeins of each color (3 full skeins and a bit of a 4th skein of each color).
