Silk Scarf


This scarf was a special gift for my mom. I bought a very special skein of yarn of 100% Silk Yarn. It is also hand painted. It was scrumptious to work with. But too expensive for a normal project.
It is very light and soft. I hope she will get many years of wear from it.
The yarn is Claudia Hand Painted Yarns Silk Lace
The scarf pattern is called Alpine Frost Scarf in Silk it is in Interweave Crochet, Winter 2008.

Baby Wash Clothes

Soft and pretty!  This was a extremely fast crochet...


This is a free pattern but you have to be a member of Ravelry. www.ravelry.com
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/oh-so-soft-baby-washcloths
And I did the pattern slightly different. It said to skip a sc and I did not.

5th Attempt another failure...


1st I started this hat for my 15 yr ds and another son said it was too girly. ;(  (It's now going to be for me)
Then I actually made this hat...
And the son I was making it for thought it was ugly...
Then I started this hat...
 And the band size fits my 2 yr old...
Then I started this hat...

And it was horribly lumpy on top and a bad pattern...
Finally I Knitted this hat...

And as you can see it would fit a GIANT!
So now I am NOT MAKING A HAT!!!!
Thinking about a checkers game now...

New Hat and Sweater

Prairie Princess is growing fast and needed a new hat and sweater.


The sweater is a FREE pattern called Baby Kimono Wrap.
The hat is another version of Heidi's Perfect Newborn hat.
I made it the largest size and lose. I also wove a ribbon around the brim.

More Booties and Sweaters for Gifts

A dear friend just had a precious boy.  Here 8th. So I made and mailed her booties and a blue sweater.




And a local friend also had a boy. So she got the opposite.

Cable Stocking Hat


This is started. A cable crocheted hat. Here is what the finished hat will look like.
It is a pattern available in the Winter 2007 Interweave Crochet Magazine.

Girly Baby Blanket is done






This pattern is from a book I found at the library.  100 Crochet Patterns by Michelle Thompson.
This is definetely the baby blanket that I am most proud of. It turned out just gorgeous and unique. All that is left is to line the back. Thanks Mom for all the lazy daisy embroidery. Couldn't have done it without your help.
