1 of 2 WIPS

I've started a granny square lapghan with camo yarn. I don't work on it every day but it shouldn't take too long to complete. I haven't even decided on the final size, yet. I'm just going to keep going until I like it. No plans on who to give it to, yet. I may put it in the box for the craft fair later this year.

All finished...

And here they are.......the finished products. First shows the wristwarmer without any special edging. I single crocheted around the thumb holes and the arms and did a small scallop around the fingers. I'm very pleased with how they came out. And I'm keeping them. Mine, all mine :) (for a change)





Cables--not so scary anymore

Thanks to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnittingNovices/ I found a pattern with cables that I thought I could do and wahooo....I could! These are wrist warmers, which I like to knit or crochet anyway, but with an extra twist (pun intended). Here's the WIP (work in progress) and then I'll post the finished product. I'm thinking of crocheting edges on the top and bottom to neaten them up a bit and to feel like I made them my own. Comments and hints/tips are always appreciated. The pattern can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/9gyns

Balaclava



Crochet Partners (CP) really is an awesome group. My DH had asked for a Balaclava, but one bigger than a normal ski mask. He wants it for hunting and to have enough room to slide some sunglasses under. A couple of the CP members had a pattern to me in less than 1/2 an hour of my posting the request. Two days later, here are two versions; the first which follows the pattern exactly and the second with a few minor modifications to make it bigger. He's very happy and will be able to use it before hunting season ends.

Thanks to all for your help. Hopefully, I can return the favor one day.
