Baby Ghan

A blanket for my friend's eagerly anticipated grandson. I used the textured square pattern from Jan Eaton's book and embroidered the hearts freehand. Measures 36 by 48.

A Fun Scarf!

I had several balls of leftover Homespun and decided to make a scarf. I was intending it to be completely random, but my crochet OCD took over and it ended up with a bit of a symmetrical pattern. I used an L hook and the stitches are HDC. I still have some odds and ends left over, and I think they might make cute embellishments as flowers on crocheted hats.

More Ghans

I made this graph ghan for a sweet little girl who lives just up the street from us. She squealed in excitement when she saw the picture!

 Two ghans I made using up some of my stash. The top one has been donated and the bottom picture was made using Homespun, and is for us.

Not sure if I posted this. It's another baby ghan - I just loved the color combo!  It has no home yet.

I just finished this gift two days ago and gave it to our vet yesterday. She has been such an angel with our dogs - and with me, who gets so nervous when the pups get ill. She is expecting her first chile in August! Blessings to you and your baby, Dr. M!!

A sweet lady from Crochetville gifted me with Scrubby yarn and I've been pairing it with cotton - the two together make the best dishcloths!

Round Ripples to donate.


small baby ghan to donate....
I began making this ghan in blue....then learned of the murder of two wonderful NYC police officers...and continued it in blues ....adding black. Every time I look at it I remember them and their families and all other police officers who have lost their lives protecting us.

A comfortghan ghan made using Homespun. A sweet friend was going through a lot at the time.... It made her smile!

Peek a Book ghan - I think! Anyway, check out Ramblings With Gardner blog - she has lots of great patterns!

Used a glittery yarn for the centers - this ghan comes out at Christmas!

Fingerless gloves - google for patterns!
