Figured I'd better update this, since I haven't in quite a while.  Need to upload some more pics, I have been quite busy knitting and crocheting.  Just need to block a few things.

Here is a purse I made

 

Well, my daughter didn't really like the tote I was making for her but she did choose a stitch she liked for an afghan for her car. The stitch came from a book I purchased that uses Multiples. Of course, the one she chose was printed incorrectly and so I had to figure out the Correct Multiple. Arghh! She picked out the yarn she wanted (Caron Simply Soft) in grey, teal, and black. I now have 5 rows done and it's actually looking pretty good. Will try to get pictures up soon.

I did finish an afghan, and I made it for myself instead of someone else this time. Will wonders never cease. I am really pretty darned happy with how it turned out. It's made of granny squares that started with honeycomb afghan stitch squares in five different colors. I realllllllly need to put up a picture...soon :o)

Later Dudes and Dudettes!

Today

Just a note today.
Am working on a Lion Brand Tote (hopefully for my daughter's Birthday) and also a MCAL (Mystern Crochet Along) with a crochet website I found on Facebook.

Have also crocheted a pair of socks, an afghan, several granny squares of various sorts and sizes (I think I have finally figured out which one I like the best) for an afghan.

Will take pics later.

July 2010 Doilies

Hi there!

I have finished some more doilies and finally took pics of them..

The Pineapple blue doily (below) still has to be blocked for shaping, that FREE pattern is from FAVECrafts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Circle-in-the-Square doily from Leisure Arts', "A Year of Doilies -March," was a lot harder to do than the Pineapple blue doily. The pattern called for the outer circle and the edges to be green, but as you can see I liked purple better. I am pretty proud of this one, I think it turned out quite well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The big cream round doily is from a pattern I got when I was getting kits from Annie's Hook & Needle Kit Club.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The filet centerpiece I am attempting to work on now... I am having a problem with reading the pattern... Guess I'll see if I can email the designer and get her help. IF I get it finished I will put a completed picture up then.


Until Next Time...
Take Care Out There,
Mary

Welcome!

Howdy to All! Welcome to my blog!

I just finished a doily that turned out pretty nicely if I do say so myself. What do you think?

I got the pattern from "A Year of Doilies" by Leisure Arts. It's called, "Tiffany" and is the doily for April.

I have now started the doily for March, "Circle-In-The-Square," and I am making it with Natural and Violet (instead of Ecru and Green). I will post a picture when I get it done.

Later,
MJ
