Not Yo Granny Crochet

I took a little crocheting break, but I randomly got an order for these mittens from Canada! It felt SO GOOD to get back into my yarn stash :) And it’s especially affirming because I developed the pattern for these mittens myself!

Finally finished this beauty today! Check it out on Etsy https://www.notyogrannycrochet.com/listing/778772882/ready-to-ship-crochet-modern-ombre-ish...
Pattern: Linen Stitch Baby Blanket by .design...

This throw blanket became so adorable I’ve been tempted just to keep it for myself!! 😉 See those subtle peach stripes? The perfect throw for any decor!

Heading to the post office with this guy today! I loved making this baby blanket - color blocks are my THING.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING......
Okay, so maybe it’s not “officially” time to start thinking about Christmas (I’m looking at YOU, Mother Nature 🙄), but it DEFINITELY is if you’re tryna order some Christmas gifts from yours truly. This girl’s got STUFF to do around the holidays, so that means the earlier the order, the more likely you are to receive it by the time the gift needs to be given. Check out all the fun things I’ve got in the shop, y’all! www.notyogrannycrochet.com.....

Happy Friday, y’all! The winner of last week’s giveaway has been contacted - so sorry that it could only be one! Good news for everyone else, though, is that these mittens are now for sale in my Etsy shop! VERY limited quantity right now, so get ‘em while you can (I’ll likely be making more soonish, but no promises!). .....

This blanket is FINALLY DONE & up on Etsy. Holy cow was this a hard one to finish (sooo many ends to weave in at the end), but my goodness was it ever worth it! Check it out in my Etsy shop......

I need to finish this AND make its match (unless there’s anyone trying to wear only one mitten this winter...). But LOOK WHAT I MADE UP FROM MY HEAD......
This is gonna be kinda hard to write up into a pattern, but I’ll give it my best shot 😂 Otherwise, these cuties will be up on Etsy once I complete ‘em! Idk that I’ll be making a lot of these, so lemme know you’d like notification when they’re up so you can attempt to snag ‘em first!.....

Taking what’s in your brain and making it reality is really hard, people. But MY GOODNESS is it ever fun.........
Apologies to my sweet husband for the yarn absolutely overtaking the living room 😂........

Did I maybe have a little too much fun with this photo editor? Perhaps. But DID I HAVE THE BEST TIME CREATING MY VERY FIRST CROCHET PATTERN?! You betcha!!!!! (Sorry, my Minnesotan is showing)...........
I can’t even tell you how excited I am. Please, check out https://notyogranny.com/free-crochet-pattern-slouchy-block-stitch-baby-beanie/ & pass it on!...........
Your praises, comments, and feedback are INSANELY appreciated! But mainly your praises, to be frank............
Also FYI this baby will be up on Etsy in short order!...........

I MADE A PATTERN FROM MY OWN BRAIN. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. IT WASN’T EVEN THAT HARD.

I honestly had no idea I could do this, so I never tried. But now that I “have a blog” (aka I just barely launched it and am excited to work on it!), I figured I’d give pattern creation a shot. So here we are!!

Now, dear friends, I need YOUR help - what do I name this thing?!

www.notyogranny.com

Started a blog! The goal is to start writing patterns, teach YOU to crochet, & maintain transparent updates along the way.

Check out my first blog post to find out more - I’m excited! https://notyogranny.com/how-far-can-a-lazy-blogger-make-it/

How Far Can a Lazy Blogger Make It? Posted on September 8, 2019September 8, 2019 by HollyHow Far Can a Lazy Blogger Make It? Let me be real with you: I’m not starting this blog because I’m excited about the blogging itself. I don’t want to spend hours working on this thing because I’m not trying to do this full-time. I’m per...

Feast your eyes on these adorable matching mama-daughter hats to start off this glorious Friday! ❤️

I’m definitely not one to wish summer away, but with this cool weather & the month of September impending, I can’t help but feel a little teensy weensy tiny bit excited for the coziness of fall. DON’T HATE ME, OKAY.........

This hat has been my first cool-weather project for MONTHS. I don’t want to wish the summer away, but I’m kinda sorta a little bit excited for fall :)

This cute rainbow pacifier holder is headed to the post office today!

Happy Friday, y’all!! To celebrate, enjoy these photos of my friend’s sister’s baby all swaddled up in her very own Not Yo Granny custom blanket :) How dang sweet is that squishy face?!?!

TODAY IS THE DAY...that Not Yo Granny Crochet has officially achieved 100 followers. Not an impressive number to any minor celebrity or IG influencer, but an absolute honor to my little, ultra-inconsistent hobby. To celebrate, I’m offering 10% off every purchase on notyogrannycrochet.com today through Saturday, August 3.

THANK YOU for your support! 🙌

I have about 9875278 works in progress at any given moment 😳 I’m excited to finish this one...hopefully within the next yearish? 😂

I’ve FINALLY finished this cute zebra, but now I’ve discovered that photographing stuffed animals as large as this one is SO FLIPPIN HARD. Like...how do I make him look cute so someone will buy him? Any photography tips before I get this guy up on Etsy?! 🤞🤞🤞..............

I took a looooong break from crocheting because I was busy getting married. But I just completed this custom baby blanket, and the crocheting bug has overtaken me once again❤️🎉🙌....
Yarn: Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn
Pattern: adapted from Henry’s Baby Blanket from .design

My office is closed because nobody wants to be outside in -25 degree weather that feels like -50, so I’m working from home. The dilemma I’m in is that this adorable baby blanket WON’T STOP CALLING MY NAME. I’m Im trying to be a good employee, okay baby blanket?! I can’t be crocheting on the job no matter how much more appealing it sounds than spreadsheets!! 😭

FINALLY something new is up in my Etsy shop!! Check out this awesome unisex ripple baby blanket. A perfect baby shower gift!! This baby is ready to ship, and remember - shipping is always free! :) Check out my bio for a link to this listing. xoxo..
One question now though: what should my next project be?!..

I started Not Yo Granny as a way to continue my crocheting hobby without having to keep all this crocheted stuff around my house (even though it’s all real cute if I do say so myself!). The fact that I have made 20 sales (well technically 22 now!) is actually pretty heart-warming. 22 sounds like barely anything, but considering how terribly little effort I put into promoting my stuff, I feel like this is a big win. 22 distinct people like the stuff I produce from my extremely part-time hobby so much that they are willing to shell out money to have it in their home or give as a gift....
All that to say thank you so much for your support. My heart and my limited storage space are both grateful for your purchases 😊😘

Chilly weather's a-comin', y'all. Get yourself a pair of Not Granny Mittens to keep your fingers toasty! :)

This cute semi-slouchy hat just went up on Etsy! With four size options (adult, child, toddler, infant), you could have matching comfy hats for the whole family :).
