Some past projects




I was looking for pictures of a rug I made for my Mom and came across some others and thought I'd share them. :)

Here is the rug, it was made using 3 strands of colors, you would have to drop some and pick up others for the inner portion of the rug. I think I had 12 strings attached! It was hard on the hands but the final result was very nice.








This is the spider web doily I did in Maroon for my girlfriend in Canada












Finally this is the first doily I did, it was from an older magazine and was an interesting project. I was 1/2 way done the first time and found out I had a HUGE mistake and had to start all over. I was worried I'd never get it done but it made it home to MI for Christmas.

Baby bunting finished!


I started this just last weekend after talking to my girlfriend and finding out she was expecting a little boy. I had started a yellow bunting but felt that was still a little to "girlie" and had the blue and white yarn in my collection anyway. :) I'm so excited for her, she is due at the end of October and lives in MD, so this should come in handy as the weather turns cooler.

I have no idea what I should make next. I am working on twin size granny afghan for my DD with her Great Grandma. Each square is only 3 rounds and it's going to spell out DD's name and have flowers and hears on it. It's going to be a bugger to sew together, 600+ squares! Do you think I'll get it finished before Christmas? ;-) We shall see. I'll post my progress as it goes along. I need to work on a 2 color square, I've never done one before.

Happy crocheting all!
