A WIP and FO

Here is my WIP for a very special aunt hey Gerrie..........it took me a while to find a pattern that I liked........I tend to favor lots of texture and since she told me her fav color was red I wanted something that would enhance the color...........my camera make the color lighter than it is..........its a darker red...........the yarn is TLC heather the first pic is the back the second pic is the front.........
The hook is a size j...........having been working on it for about a week.....thank goddness her b-day is in Dec..........
now here is the FO a very simple two colored intarsia hat.........I really like the scroll look.......the hat did not come out as snug as I wanted due to the k2 p2 not being done on smaller needles...........but what the heck I just get to do it again and make it better............

knitting, crocheting, knitting, crocheting if only we could bring peace that way

It's been awhile

Hi everyone it's been awhile since I have posted..........I have been getting into my crochet world.........Since the last time I posted I have purchased a few different kinds of yarn to get the feel of things....I bought a skein of pink, green, brown red heart super saver, was given 4 skeins of red heart classic........I made a afghan for my daughter for her birthday she was so happy for about a day then the pretty lapghan was thrown to the corner of her room not bed mind you but a corner in her room well so much for holding a 8 year old's interest...........I have mixed feelings about this yarn..........great for afghans and bags but not so much wearables I think I like softer yarns...........

..........I purchased some Caron simply soft 4 skeins and 5 balls of some yum( I think thats how it spelled I threw away the lables dumb me) from big lots for a $1.00. combined the two to make a throw for my self I looooooooooove it so much it's very soft and it has some weight, I just made it a tad to small......The verdict on Caron ss I don't like it, it feels funny like it is too soft, but does have great stitch definition.......I made a hat and scarf with it........bought some Mary Maxim Mellowspun love the way it feels and stitches up....Crocheted a hat with it and will make my little ones a hat and scarf set with the navy blue.......as far as acrylic yarns go I like the mm the best........oh and I bought SS heather for a vest I saw

Well I think I'll just make the vest and see how it goes.......

Little bits of thread

Hi

Here is the start of another baby blanket........sort of a design my own mile a minute type.............

Destiny's Blanket

Well here is my finished baby blanket for my friends new baby girl. I love pineapples and found this pattern and thought I would give it a try. My pic came out a little dark but you can see the pineapples. When I first started I did not like it because you could not see the pineapples but as the work progressed you could see them. I will try this pattern again with a thinner yarn

New Beginings

Hello everyone this is the first day of this experince and I wanted to share it with you all.
Here is a poem that I composed and want to share with you
Life

Life
Sun in my face
Cascading water in a solitary place
Winds and clouds flowing by

Life
Children dancing in a ring
Firefly lighting here and there
All the sounds of summer

Life
Sitting in a porch swing
Seeing faces no longer seen
Thanking God for a life well spent
