Stay at home crochet projects

Hi everybody who read this. I did not post anything for a while since February. Yes, I was making some designs and published it, it's my regular work I love very much. The situation is changed quickly and dramatically. I mean COVID 19 spreaded over the world.
I concerned about the situation like you do.

My mornings start from reading virus' updates and it's just not only my curiosity.
Then after having breakfast I go to my workroom and continue my current crochet project. It's really my STAY AT HOME PROJECT. What kind of benefit for me is? I work on the project which I like to make, I feel relax during uncertain times and when these times will be finished I will probably improve my skills and make some gifts for someone special ( which is not too bad).

Due to virus Irish Post suspended delivery to majority of countries with impacted on my business. At the moment I can not post my women's crochet hats. But the good news is I have 49 crochet dress / top / plus size patterns and 23 women's hat patterns. All these patterns are suitable for a STAY AT HOME PROJECT and it became more attractable recent days.

Lacy dress is completed

Now the Irish crochet collaboration project is completed! 

I've designed 55 crocheted squares with Irish Crochet and Romanian Cordwork, Caroline designed Knitted squares with beading inspired by Russian Folk Art.

The "Alternative Granny Squares were then handbeaded together into a dress in a modern shape as Granny Squares can often be thought of as "old fashioned".

Some of square designs are available at my Etsy shop Enjoy!
