This beautiful afghan has a first place ribbon pinned to it from the Butler County Fair. My sister, Kari has this one at the nursing home now.

Stripey Socks

Made these shades of grey stripey socks for daughter Anna. The pattern is from Getting Started Knitting Socks. I used a self-striping fingering weight sock yarn.

Rocket Ship Bubble Gum

My grandson, Aiden, loves to say the words "rocket ship bubble gum." We think he saw a rocket ship-shaped bubble gum machine at the store. Who knows. Anyway I made him a rocket ship with 2 aliens and 2 space men that go inside it. He loved it!

I found the pattern at Crochetville, a crochet forum.

Now I have to crochet some bubblegum. :)

Christmas Stockings

These are my crazy Christmas stockings. I made them all within the 4 days before Christmas.  The last one I made is the one on the left. It looks like a hockey stick cozy. :)
