A Wishful NeedleWorkMonday - If time were on my side

This #NeedleWorkMonday is all about my wishlist! Unlike regular wishlists where you write items down that you’d like to purchase or receive, I am gathering a list of things I wish to crochet. I call it my ”To Make Crochet Wishlist!” Seeing all of the awesome creative things that you all have shared for the last almost two years (#NeedleWorkMonday’s two year anniversary is this July) has given me anxiety. 😅 Anxiety due to wanting to try out so many things but not having the time to.

You all know that I have been working on building up stock (slowly but it’s coming) for my online store with Homesteaderscoop. I had to put my beginning crochet tutorials aside (don’t worry those will return eventually) to have more time to focus on this. All the while I have a ton of projects I desire to make...mostly for others and some for myself! 😁😄

Here are some projects I want to make for others...

My sister and niece just moved in to their new home and I want to make a couch throw to hang over their new furniture. These neutral colors will blend well and the simple chevron design fits her style.

By the time I make this she will have repainted her house. 😅

I thought this crocheted sensory book was such a great idea. I want to make one for my baby girl who will turn one next month and for my great niece who just turned one last month.

My little cousin wants one of these mermaid tail blankets for when she is reading her books. They are so cute and cozy but will take quite some time to make.

These floor poufs will be great next to our kids’ bookshelf! They would also be great for lounging on while watching family movies. I would love to make these in pretty bright colors!

We have several coffee and tea drinkers in our family including myself. I want to make a few sets of these crochet mug rugs for each household. I would play around with different yarn fabrics and techniques.

Here are a few projects I have in mind for myself 😁...

I’ve been wanting to make myself a Summer crocheted vest for the longest. I purchased a knitted one years ago and loved it. Now I have the skills to make my own in a multitude of colors! I love how lightweight it is and how it flows.

I love the idea of turning your flip flops into a needlework masterpiece! I would love to give my flip flops an upgrade with some handmade flair! These are just sooo cute!! When I first saw these they reminded me of @akipponn and something she would enjoy knitting :)

This is one of the prettiest crochet hats I have seen and I love the 1920’s look of it! I can see me wearing this with my skinny’s and heels when having a night on the town with my hubby! This hat I will make myself one day for sure!!! 👌🏽

I love the look and feel of this chunky yarn. I have arm knitted a scarf before so I am familiar with the technique. I plan to make a bed spread for our room using the basket weave stitch. I think these are great for decoration as well as cozying up any room. I love cuddling up with blankets so it will be rewarding doing so with one I hand crafted :)

Finally, this is a piece I fell in love with at first sight. This piece was inspired by the popular and stylish African rope necklaces that are in demand today. It’s a simple yet elegant design of wearable art that would be a for sure conversation starter. I look forward to making one and will proudly sport it with one of my sleek dresses. You can also wear it as a belt or with the loops hanging in front.

So there ya have it! A few of the items on my “To Make Crochet Wishlist”! It may take five to ten years to get these all done but one day it will happen! The anticipation keeps me motivated! 😄

How many items are on your ‘To Make Wishlist’?
