Skye's Black & White Afghan

I finished this black n white afghan for Skye's newly redecorated room. She chose the pattern and the yarn.

I'm super happy with how it turned out and I think Skye is too!

Twisting Lace Socks

Twisting Lace Crochet socks. I got the pattern from the Patons website and used the Patons Kroy Sock Yarn. I think I'll probably save them for a Christmas Present. 

Thread Crochet Tablecloth

My latest project, a tablecloth for my daughter Anna.  I used a pattern from this book: Grandmother's Favorite Crochet

I used Aunt Lydia's cotton thread #10. 

Tote Bag

I made this market bag for my daughter Mary. I used Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn, with this pattern.

Gary's Snood

I haven't had too much time for crafts lately.... Wait, I take that back, I have been crocheting - I just haven't been able to post too much. My husband, Loyd, had a stroke in June and "we" have been living at the hospital ever since. So I while I'm sitting next to him I crochet. This is something I made for my son-in-law, Gary.

I used a pattern I found on the internet here. I used Lily's Sugar n Cream cotton thread.

Baby Bottle Cozies

The picture didn't turn out great, but these are the baby bottle cozies I've been working on to sell in the shop. Again, it's a pattern I made up, using Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn. I crocheted around a stretchy hair band for the neck.

Little Bags for Mothers Day

I made these little bags to put Mary & Nicole's gifts in for Mother's Day. I made up the pattern and used Lily Sugar N Cream cotton yarn.

Earrings

I made these two pairs of earrings this weekend. I made up the blue pattern myself. The pink one I found here.

More Bookmarks

Here are more bookmarks I have made recently, using this book: Three Dozen and One Bookmarks. I use the scanner for these photos instead of a camera because I just like the effect.

Bookmark

This was my own invention - not an original design, I know, but I didn't use a pattern. I did up two plastic canvas crosses and whip stitched them together, so that the back looks neater. It's a little too thick for a bookmark, but there you go. I used Lion Brand Homespun yarn, which is nice and bulky, but soft.
