I finally have a few more projects completed, so thought I'd update the pictures:
This is a sweater I just finished for Su. It's crocheted in one piece. I found the pattern on Caron Yarns website. Be forewarned if you make this: the pattern needed a lot of tweaking to get it to size. I had to go up 2 hook sizes and added rows to the sleeves and body to make it match gauge and fit properly. But it sure turned out nice! And will be very easy to make again, now that I have all the frogging done on this one. I have plans to modify it yet again and make one for Bre in a girls size.
'Auntie' Janet came to visit, and she brought Bre her own digital camera. When she left, she asked me to make her a carrying case for it, so that's what I did. It crocheted up in nothing flat, and would also work great for a cell phone or iPod. Here's Bre proudly showing off her camera case. Now she can take it everywhere with her without worrying about dropping it:
This is a hood I designed and knit in the round with chenille yarn. The pattern is a checkerboard design. Just enough to help ward off the chill of a fall evening. It can also be worn just as a cowl. And it's loose enough it won't smash down your hair.
When Janet was here I finished a pair of fingerless gloves she had ordered. That way she could model them herself!
This is a scarf I made for my son, Joel. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of him wearing it, so we'll just have to use the picture of Mandi. She's always willing to pose...The scarf worked up really great and is a double thickness. It is a stitch I haven't used before, but will use again. Very versatile, the scarf can be made any length you want, and you can add just about any type of edging from everyday, casual fringe to something lacy and fancy.
As always, if you have any questions regarding any of my projects or pricing, simply email me at the address at the right.
Happy Knitting & Crocheting!
