Child-size Round Ripple


child-size RR

I made it from Homespun, using a K hook. The edging is a rev hdc using 2 strands with an N hook. It's going to a hospital and will be given to a seriously ill child.

Some more work...

I made the 8 inch squares for some friends on crochetville. We have a Friendship Square exchange going. The idea is to get enough squares to make a special afghan for ourselves (for a change...LOL).
I made the baby 9 patch from Vanna Baby Yarn...it's very soft. The pattern can be found at http://www.happyyellowhouse.com/htm/quilts.html

Charity Projects

I assembled these from lots of donated squares I received from my Yahoo group and also used some squares of my own that I had made. The 2 small pieces are preemie ghans, while the other two are a good size for an adult to use as a lapghan or for a child to use for their bed. I'm waiting for an address from someone who says she has a place to send them. If I don't hear from her this week I have another place or two in mind where they can go, too.

Wedding Gift


This is a 44 inch graph ghan for a neighbor's son. He grew up alongside our son and I wanted to do something special for he and his bride.
The darker color is a deep green.

I purchased this design at www.citiusa.com and for a nominal fee the designer personalized the pattern.

Baby Booties


booties

I got the pattern from http://www.geocities.com/gossgirl2/fakemjs.htm
I made these for my friend Mary's great niece, who is just past one month old.
They were very easy - and fast - to make. I made the lacy part using #3 thread instead of #10 as was suggested, adjusting the starting chain to fit.

Pet Memories graph ghan - FINISHED!

The last 2 names under the German Shepherd section are our current furbabies.
I got the patterns for the images and the letters from www.citiusa.com, though I did tweak the Sheltie and cat patterns to more closely resemble our own pets.

8 inch squares

These squares are going to a member of crochetville to be used as part of a comfortghan. They're slightly adapted from a pattern in 101 Crochet Squares

I'm close to finishing my pet graph ghan and will be poting a pic this coming week.

Bradly Family ghan


Photobucket

My neighbor came up with this random design and I was then able to slip stitch the initials of all the family members onto their ghan, including those of their son, Chris, who passed away in December.
