Hi! If you haven't noticed my blog/social media has been seriously neglected this year. I took on a full time job and unfortunately my business has had to take a back seat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still love to crochet and knit but in this season I just don't have time to blog and design like I would love too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't intend to ever stop designing and enjoying this craft world. it's a huge part of me and my little buisness is still going to stick around with hopes of being able to balance it all and come back to it full force over time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my favorite time of year! I get to offer big savings to you and I get to crochet Christmas goodies for orders, friends and loved ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just popping in to say enjoy some saving on my crochet patterns and if you need something special made don't wait to long because with my busier than ever schedule I only have time for so many orders. There are always a few last minute ones and I will do my best to make those happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">75% off all my designs in</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I truly love what I do!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This past year I've had to take the focus off crochet though. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took a part time job in March and starting this next week I've taken a Assistant Management Position and will become full time back into work after about 7 years of not working outside the home. Balancing it all as a Wife, Mother, Business owner and part time working hasn't been easy. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I miss the time to design. I have to figure out how to make it all work. It may be quieter around here but I've got plans and designs to come as I can. Of course I'm always open to custom orders too. I was just thinking how thankful I am that I got to do this for 7 almost 8 years while raising my little ones. Thank you for helping me be able to do that! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Happy Holiday's ahead! Enjoy the sale!</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know about you but a big trend last year in crochet was Yarn Pooling! Did you try it? I know I did and failed. Trying to find the right yarn, formulas and such wasn't easy on my own. Of course I didn't do a lot of research at first and was just grabbing variegated yarn I had on hand and just hoping it would magically happen. It didn't. I now have perfect solution and resource!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was really impressed with the variety of patterns. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was hard for me to choose one to make. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started with the Full Scarf, but I didn't just want a basic scarf and I messed up at the beginning so I pulled it out. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was drawn to the child's sweater but I didn't have enough yarn. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I decided I would Make the Car Seat Cover just a smaller version of it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I crochet for my daughters dolls a lot and thought it would make a cute mini babydoll blanket. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just happened to have a Skien of Red Heart Super Saver #906 Ocean. </span><span style="font-size: large;">This was used for the scarf pictured above in the banner. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I worked up a small rectangle using the yarn pooling method from the book and guess what it worked out!! Isn't this gorgeous. What I really loved was the border. It called for two contrasting colors but I went with a matching purple and the same variegated in the center and it made another lovely colorful border effect. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really love the way it turned out and my Daughter did too. </span></div>

I haven't had a chance to "write" out the Joining the squares and Final Border Details! Life is just a little busy and crazy right now! I took a part time job and I'm learning to adjust with less time to crochet. I sure wished I'd wrote it out earlier when I did it LOL. Someday I'll learn that is the easiest way to write a pattern but I got excited to finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will add to this very soon. Hopefully by the end of the week if not by the end of March! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do however have the videos loaded up on youtube so you can follow along on how to finish up! I know of a few of you are patiently waiting so I hope this helps in the mean time! I'll add more to this post very soon! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sorry I'm getting this weeks square to you a little later in the day this week. I started a new part time job so I'm trying to juggle this new adventure. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't worry Calleigh's Clips isn't going anywhere! I still plan to design and create wonderful items for you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I hope you are really enjoying this blanket! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are coming down to the last few squares. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since It's a crazy week for me and you need two of this square for the blanket there will only be this one post this week instead of two. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do need to apologize. While I've filmed all the videos I haven't had time to edit them all. I'm going to try very hard to do that this week. So be on the look out for those as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This weeks squares are super simple diagonal stripes </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with easy color changes every couple rows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These should work up easy peasy and fast! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today's square is full of whimsy and fun! I couldn't decide if I wanted one mushroom or two, but ultimately decided on two. As always, feel free to choose other colors or leave off the spots for less color changes. This one was one of my harder ones to design just right. In the end I like it though. I hope you enjoy it too. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Day! It's time for our next square! This one is pretty special to me and has unique coloring. Feel free to use more traditional colors if you desire. Now remember I designed each square after my logo which is why this turtle is so colorful. You could even leave out the little dots on the shell for less color changing if you desire. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Turtles are a favorite around here as it was one of my 1st ever designs to go viral around the inter-webs! I've literally sold 1000's of patterns and made 100's of turtle sets! It will always have a special place in my heart. </span><span style="font-size: large;">You can see that design below. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I hope you are excited for square #2! It's a tree. I enjoyed making this square because of minimal color changes. It's simple but fun! You can jazz it up by adding some extra dots of color in the tree if you wanted for apples, oranges or other fruit by filling in the squares you desire. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so excited to share with you my latest design! I had this idea to use my logo to create a graphgan. I'd never made a graphgan myself before and thought it would be too much work, to much yarn and oy, those color changes! So many ends to weave! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made c2c blankets and I love the stitch, so I decided to just jump in with it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently learned mini c2c stitch, basically you use a hdc stitch instead of a dc so it uses less yarn and make a smaller square. I fell in love even more! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I designed 9 whimsical squares and have a few ideas for more. I'll be posting about 2 squares a week over the next 5 weeks! The last week I'll share the last square and border I used. I'm not holding an official Crochet along but if you want to make one as I post each week. I'll be fresh to answer questions along the way. You are welcome to post on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Calleighsclips/">facebook page</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/322253384538840/">group</a> or tag me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/calleighsclips/">instagram</a> @calleighsclips so we can have fun together! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I used the mini c2c stitch all my info will be based off that but feel free to have fun with this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a different stitch, c2c, bobbles, sc, your preferred graph method. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can use different colors, yarn sizes or hook choices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are not stuck on what I use. Be creative and have fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are a planner like me, I have a materials list for the whole blanket. If you have a decent stash like I do I had every thing on hand already. I'm doing good sticking to my no - new yarn ban. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I seems every year I say "I can't believe how fast that year went!" but honestly as I look back on these past seven years it has been an incredible rollercoaster! From super highs to way down lows. Running a home business isn't always easy but you know what I'm beyond thankful for each and everyone of you who read the blog, watch me on youtube, follow on all things social media, enjoy free patterns, buy paid patterns or just chat about our love of all things crochet....even knit! I've made some incredible friends along the way. I've loved getting to share my journey with you even if I've been a blog slacker for the past few years! It's hard to do it all! If I could just crochet all the time I would, I'm pretty sure you would too! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course we can't have a celebration with out a sale! It's actually been live all weekend but I think people are avoiding social media right now! (we won't talk about that). I should probably have blogged sooner but life....So I've extended the sale! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you follow crochet trends you've for sure seen the surge in messy bun or ponytail hats! I love the idea. I connected with it as a runner sometimes you need more than just an ear warmer but you still want your hair off your neck. Some think it's silly and a year ago I might have said the same thing because I had a pixie hair cut. I would have no use for it LOL. I've let my hair grow now so I just really loved the idea. I've made a ton of them and I look forward to making more! You can buy a finished one from my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/497687463">Etsy shop </a></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know there have been a surge of pattern so I wanted think a little different. Most I've seen are super bulky/chunky or basic. I thought My <b><a href="http://calleighsclips.blogspot.com/2013/10/free-crochet-pattern-key-tab-slouchy.html">Key Tab Series Stitch </a></b>would be easy to adapt to a bun hat but give it a light, lacy look that cozy but not to thick. especially if your weather isn't super cold.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also decided it would be fun to write doll size, kids, youth and women's! This is a very easy pattern to adjust size or height to as well. I'll give some tips for that too if you do need to adjust . I hope you enjoy my design on this new popular favorite! </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also found this amazing new yarn that is my current favorite! You know I love Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn Worsted. They came out with a few amazing color ways that are what I call twisted Rainbow colors. Even though they are Worsted the texture reminds me of a mix between Lion Brand Heartland and Simply Soft. I'm in love with the colors! I've picked up 4 different ones and I think there might be one or two more other mixes too. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't often make afghan's or blankets! I tend to get bored or lose interest in large projects. Would you believe I've made two in the past month! I really enjoyed making both of these and I knew I had to share the links with you all. You'll want to add these to your to-make crochet lists! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This first one was so fun and I loved the colors that were requested. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the Circle Chevron Baby Blanket as I call it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can find the free pattern on Ravelry</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While I followed the pattern for rounds and stitch counts I followed a picture example a friend of my hubby's sent me for the color changes. I had the perfect colors on hand which is always great! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn in</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This ended up being a little bigger than I expected as it's about 54 inches across. It's going to be a great blanket and treasured! I'll would love to make more of these! Could be a great stash buster. It took me a good few days to make but once you get the hang of the pattern it goes pretty quickly as long as you don't lose count. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A friend of mine asked if I would like to make it for her! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I gladly accepted the challenge. I have to say I really enjoyed making this. I love the Granite stitch, (Some times called the moss stitch) it's been a popular stitch pattern lately with all the planned pooling talk. I have to say though making a blanket with mostly sc crochet stitches seemed awful LOL! I used Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn in Ivory and Gray Mist. My saving grace was that I could use two strands at a time to make it bulky. I still used the J-Hook and the gauge was spot on for me as long as I didn't crochet too tight. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would have never thought to use these two colors together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They are so clean, crisp and fresh together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The blanket isn't to heavy and yet thick enough that it is going to make a great cozy blanket by the fire for the winter! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was a great project for my little vacation to Colorado. I worked on it little by little and had it done in a week. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe my fear of big projects is fading because I really want to make another blanket! I don't usually sell them because between time and materials they can become expensive fast but I'm happy to get a fair quote if you are ever interested in a custom order for them! Now I have to get to working on Christmas Presents! I have a feeling this month is going to go by fast! </span></div>

I've been visiting family in Parker, Colorado for the Thanksgiving Holiday! I was finishing this new hat design and on Tuesday it began to snow. It was the perfect time to grab up some pics and have fun. This hat is perfect for this type of weather. It's got a fun cluster stitch and double thick band to keep it fluffy, cozy and warm in the cooler weather. The hat is inspired by the City and Snow! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving! While Crocheting and Knitting are some of my favorite things to do all the time. Sometimes I need a little brain break as my kids say! My Hubby got me hooked on Adult coloring books. We both love to color. Honestly I think he loves to more than I do. We're always finding fun books. I was so excited when Leisure Arts asked me to review this fantastic Fall Themed color book : Bountiful Wonders!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=916864&u=705482&m=19565&urllink=&afftrack=" target="_blank"><img alt="Bountiful Wonders Coloring Book" border="0" height="266" src="https://static.shareasale.com/image/19565/L6993_600x400.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Maybe you have friends and family coming for the Holidays! I love to have these on hand with some colored pencils and markers for people to color sitting out on the coffee table. These are easy to share as there are 24 unique designs with perforated, one sided papers. This book is full of Fall Festive Photos! Pumpkins, Thanksgiving, Owls and more! You can see the sample pages at the link to the book below.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They want to learn more how to crochet soon! My son can chain and single crochet rows and he was ready to jump into the book and make food. I bet with a little practice these could be fun beginner projects. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't want to just skim through the book and tell you what I thought. I wanted to make a little something! With Thanksgiving coming up I thought what better than to start with a turkey! I love the simple shaping and little details the patterns have. Not to much details making it difficult but just enough to make it adorable and look almost like the real thing. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The patterns are written very clearly and when I did have questions (which were very minor) they were answered in the back of the book with diagrams, pictures and general instructions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=19565&userID=705482&productID=598858167" target="_blank">Ice Box Crochet</a> is amazing if you have a lot of scrap yarn around. The book includes a discussion of what types of yarn to use and what to expect for sizing. I did all my samples in worsted weight yarn, but you can use yarn as small as lace weight up to a chunky yarn with hook of choice for the size you want. Make a tiny donut or a gigantic starfruit! The possibilities are endless.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I enjoyed also that some of the chosen food items aren't maybe what you would expect. The fruits, vegetables and desserts are unique for a very wide variety of choices. There is even sushi! I can't wait to make more items from these patterns very soon. I know you will love it too! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can get the physical book mailed to you from Leisure Arts</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">or if your like me and need your patterns right now! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I saw today (11/14/2016) you can purchase an instant download e-copy for $8.99</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That is an amazing deal for everything you get! So grab it up while you can. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have no idea how long it will be on sale. </span></div>

Christmas is just around the corner. I'd recently made this fun <a href="http://calleighsclips.blogspot.com/2016/11/lil-goblin-hat-free-crochet-pattern.html" target="_blank">Lil' Goblin Hat</a>, but just missed Halloween time frame to post the pattern. So, before it was to late I thought how perfect would it be to turn it into a Elf Hat for the Holidays! I'm just in love with it! I hope you like it too! Enjoy! </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Way back in 2010 when Calleigh's Clips and Crochet Creations was just starting, I was commissioned to create a Goblin Hat for a little boy's Halloween Costume. You can read about that on <a href="http://calleighsclips.blogspot.com/2010/09/goblin-crochet-creation.html" target="_blank">this post</a> or in my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/calleighsclips/goblin-hat" target="_blank">Ravelry Projects</a>. Well here 6 years later someone found the picture and asked me to recreate it for their little newborn. I had to re-re-create the design as it's had been so long! LOL I couldn't remember what I'd done and I hadn't followed a pattern. So I though now would be a good time to write out the pattern as I made it. Although I'm a few days late for Halloween now you have plenty of time to make it for next year, plus I turned it into an <a href="http://calleighsclips.blogspot.com/2016/11/enchanting-elf-hat-free-crochet-pattern.html" target="_blank">Enchanting Elf Stripped Hat</a> just in time for Christmas! PS: If that link doesn't work it will be loaded sometime Friday/Saturday!! :) </span><br />
