Neck Warmer

Here is a very quick Neck Warmer I made for my sister.. I used a single crochet foundation row and then switched off between single crochet and double crochet.. I used malabrigo aquarella wool.. It was amazing to work with.. I loved how it turned out and would not mind picking up some more to play with...

EASY DOES IT SOCKS #2 attempt

Well I finished 1 Easy Does it sock and started the 2nd sock and I could not get the tension the same AT ALL.. so I ripped the whole sock out and started over from scratch.. This 2nd atempted I crocheted both socks at the same time using 2 different balls of yarn.. The results I love.. The tension and size is the same on both socks.. It only took me 6 days to complete these socks.. Not bad I think ..

EASY DOES IT SOCKS

Here is my first pair of socks for me I'm working on it...They are crochet and I am using sock yarn from scotland... Here is the progress so far...

Daisy Baby Blanket

A little boy I babysit is expecting a new little sister around the Christmas Holiday Season.. This is s quick daisy pattern square that I made up 9 of.. The are 9 inch squares.. Just a whip stitch and a boarder and you have a car seat blanket.. I used vanna yarn in Pink poodle, Sweet pea, Angel White and Chocolate cake...
Hope the New baby likes it...
