Getting ready for 2016

Christmas is only 2 days away and I am nearly finished with the second Pokemon pillow. I'm really hoping to have that done tonight so that I can finish up the HP blanket my New Years when I visit my SIL.
Since starting this Harry Potter CAL, I have been inspired to come up with my own squares in this fashion. I started off with the Pokemon squares & those turned out pretty well. I have now created squares for all 12 doctors from Doctor Who! Interested in what they look like? Well, join the Block a Month (BAM) CAL I will be hosting in 2016. Head on over to Facebook and join Doctor Who Faces Block a Month CAL 2016. This will start in January with the first doctor. Each month I will release the graph for the next doctor. I will also post video tutorials for how to do both the bobble and c2c stitches so that you can find your perfect method to make this afghan. I can't wait to start and hope you will join me.

So much more Pokemon!

I finally finished working on the Pokeball! This will be the backside of the Pikachu pillow. Just need to single crochet them together & get the pillow form put in. I was super excited to see that Joann Fabric had them on sale for 40% off this week. That's one gift down.



Over in the Crafty Ridge world, the pattern for Snape was released for the HP CAL. As soon as the last 2 squares are completed, I plan on making a celebration post with the whole afghan completed. I absolutely love how this is coming out.

In other news, I went yarn shopping today for the CAL I'm going to be starting in January hosted by the amazing Totallee! Y'all just have to check out her work on Ravelry. I still have a few more colors to decide on, but I should have that all sorted out in the next day or so. Progress pics once it starts, but keeping the pattern a secret for now.

Now that Pikachu is finished, I have come up with 2 more Pokemon characters for my niece's present. I couldn't decide between Squirtle and Charmander, so I made up graphs for both of them. Maybe the pillow will just have both characters and not the pokeball like my nephews pillow.
