Downtime

Holland-Designs.com is currently under maintenance. The site is getting a bit of a face lift. It will be back up in the next few days, but in the meantime, you may still find all my crochet patterns on Etsy and Ravelry.

Latest Model

Our 3rd little girl, Adelaide Rose, made her debut on May 30th after an amazingly short 1 hour 45 min labor. Her disposition is placid and sweet and we all love having her as part of our family. She weighed 9 lbs 14 oz at birth, so some of the newborn baby cardigans I made for her are almost too little already, so I'll be stitching some new ones in size 6 mos. :)

Here are a few photos of Adelaide:

Classic Cardigans

I'm 39 weeks pregnant today - and while I've been waiting for baby to arrive, I've been designing lots of baby things, of course. Firstly, I designed this Classic Baby Cardigan. After a few requests, I then designed the Girls Classic Cardigan pattern (sizes up to 8 years) and made matching ones for Holland & Madison.

There are a few more baby designs I plan to release once baby #3 is here to kindly model them for me. These include a new baby bundler pattern and a carseat blanket. I hope to debut them in my next crochet newsletter and in a future blog post!

Awesome Mens Moccasins

I've been wanting to design some men's moccasins for a while and am so pleased I finally did! I love how these turned out. The slippers are made in 2 pieces - sole/upper and the toe/tongue. Features decorative whip stitching at the toe and tie that threads around the ankle for a great fit...just like real moccasins!
The pattern is available on Etsy and Ravelry.

Crocheted Peasant Top

I haven't posted in a while on this blog, but I've been very busy with new designs and just life in general. We are expecting our 3rd child in about 8 weeks' time, so things will surely be getting busier!

 

Here is a look at my very latest design: Crocheted Peasant Top
The pattern includes sizes newborn to 12 years.
Stop by my Etsy shop to see what else is new as I've added many new patterns in the past few weeks!
