projects Archives - ELK Studio - Handcrafted Crochet Designs

Another great week on “Making it thru Monday”! We had some really great projects featured, and I’m excited to show off two of them! As always, you can send me a picture of your crochet project, and I’ll add it to my weekly “Making it thru Monday” on my ELK Studio Facebook page. The email is elkstudiocrochet@gmail.com! I can’t wait to see what you’ve done lately!

I love the first feature, not only for the project itself, but the kind heart behind the scenes. See, Arlette from Tying Knots didn’t make this “Making it thru Monday” project, but she wanted to make sure people would see it. (Don’t you love the heart of a crocheter)? The beautiful dress and accessories displayed were made by Melinda from Flying off the Hooks! It’s simply precious and a perfect summer outfit for that special little girl.

Next up is always such fun projects to display, and I’m sure it gets a ton of compliments. I want to congratulate DeAnna from Unique2who on such an awesome tire cover!! Look closely…..do you see the skulls? I’ll have to admit that I didn’t when I first looked. I was so mesmerized by the overall project, it didn’t even dawn on me they were skulls. Here’s the Facebook page where she drew her inspiration! Great job DeAnna and thanks for sharing!

I hope you’ve enjoyed the latest “Making it thru Monday”! I’d love to see your wonderful projects too…..so why are you waiting? Go ahead, send me a photo!!

Have a great day. Be blessed.

I have a great time on my ELK Studio Facebook page all the time but Monday’s are even more fun because of “Making it thru Monday”. Everyone that wants to participate in showing off their work can either upload a photo onto my Facebook page or email me at elkstudiocrochet@gmail.com.

Here’s last week’s most viewed submissions!

The blanket was made by Judy and it was her very first afghan! I think it is absolutely gorgeous and commend her on finishing such a big project!

The Hounds Tooth scarf was made by Carolyn at the Purple Poncho. She followed my free pattern and decided to add the red flower accessory! I think she did a fantastic job and always love to see the finished projects from my patterns!

We always have really great projects with an amazing variety. There are a few people that love to do amigurumi, and I am always amazed by these projects because of the time it must take to sew in all those loose ends. Then there are those that love to make doilies, blankets, purses, etc. You name it and we’ve probably had it on there.

I’ve been doing “Making it thru Monday” for about 4 months now and at the beginning of each week, I show off the top two “Most Viewed Submissions” from the previous week. I want to incorporate my blog into this great time and have decided that I will also do a blog post each week of the most viewed submissions for everyone to see.

Here are the simple rules:

It has to be made by you. (crochet or knit)
Give the name of the designer (if possible)
Provide a link to the pattern (if possible)
Share a little about the project.

Since we will be doing this post weekly, I encourage you to email me your photo because it would be easier for me. If you have a blog or Facebook page, provide me the link so that other people can see your great work too. Please try to take great photos of your projects and think about using a watermark on the photo. I use picmonkey to edit my photos (no worries, they also offer free services).

Well, that’s just about it. Come join the fun on “Making it thru Monday”! I would love to see you there!
