Crochet Friends - AmyBStitched

Last June, I had the honor to collaborate on a crochet project with Amy Brewer. I found her site and pattern for her Meandering Paws scarf and the pattern really caught my interest. I had recently lost my beloved cat Snoopy and wanted to come up with something to remember him by.

After many starts, stops, errors and trials, I was able to adapt Amy's paw print design from a scarf to and afghan. I created a Rainbow Bridge pattern using the paw print design and shared it with Amy. In a short time, the project was published by Amy on her blog/page and it was and is a success and very well received.  Even after one year later, this pattern is still used by many.

This is a project that I am very proud of and was one that was very therapeutic and enjoyable to work on and I would like to thank Amy for the opportunity to collaborate on this project with her. Many who have had their fur children cross the Rainbow Bridge have appreciated the project. On the various social media groups that I belong to, there have been over 2000 likes and shares. And to be very honest, that is a great feeling!

In January of this year, Amy and I collaborated on another project called "Meandering Paw Prints Heart of Duchess.  I had the idea of using Amy's paw print stitch in a heart formation for an afghan and after much trial and effort came up with the Heart of Duchess design in honor of one of our other cats who has passed on.  This pattern has also been met with great success and was once again a great honor to collaborate with Amy on another project.

    1. And I'm slow myself - just saw your comment (bad me). Thank you for the comment and I agree, we do make a good collaborative team (not just good, great is more like it!). I've only really gotten going with the blog and tend to it when I have the time - which I'm trying to make more of (time that is).
