Pinecone Pattern

Last year I made an adorable little pinecone and I LOVED it! It is still one of my favorite crocheted items, and possibly my favorite fall decor item. That's how much I like it! Sadly, the pattern disappeared from the internet. I have it printed at home, but feel bad just giving it away to other people (it's not mine to give, right?).

My little pinecone

Anyways, I digress. Planet June released a pinecone pattern today and I have to say it's fantastic. I know I usually only post free patterns, but there were a few of you asking for that pinecone pattern, so I just had to share this one!

I have not bought and used this specific pattern, but I can attest to the fact that her patterns are awesome. The products always come out looking like they are supposed to, possibly even better than you expect. So, if you were sad because you could not crochet that pinecone before, you should go buy this pattern. If you want, you can totally buy me a copy too! I would love to create some of the other pinecones. :)

And in case you were wondering, these are the (free) patterns from June that I crocheted in the past: pumpkin, pear, whale, candy cane, poinsettia, and christmas pudding (loved this one too)! The only pattern on my list that I have not yet completed is the rose.

Finishing things up

I have not posted in awhile, and luckily that means I have lots to share! I finished that Gingham Baby Blanket that I was working on. I actually finished it a week before the shower. Woo hoo!  I also adorned a onesie with a crocheted heart, sewed up a fleece hat, and made a golf onesie (sewn on "green" and vinyl flag). You can see more (larger) pictures of the blanket on the project page.

I also made a pinecone. Because I started it last fall and wanted to get it finished. Not really the season, but I just do not care. It feels good to get something finished!

I have also made some more progress on my ripple blanket.

Oh yeah! And Matt and I celebrated four years of wedded bliss!  Woo hoo!

I am thinking of a doing a little Easter crochet along. Anyone interested?

October 4: Pinecone - COMPLETED

Pattern # 277:  Pinecone (the link to this pattern has changed and I can no longer find the pattern online. I have emailed the designer and am awaiting her response. My apologies). The original pattern is completely gone from the blogosphere, but check out Planet June's awesome (but $5.50) pattern if you still want to make one.


Now that I look at it, I'm not so sure how "fall" a pinecone is. But whatever, no judgements here.  We can do Winter a little early!  This site is German, but is also translated into English.   They have some fantastic patterns as well.

Updated March 22, 2012: I finished this little guy up last week and I think it is just adorable. It did not take very long to make, I just kept throwing it back into my project pile. I LOVE the way mine turned out short and fat though. So cute! I think I will be making more come this winter!
