Work in progress (and will be for a while)...

During the cooler months I love to sit on the couch and crochet (there's something strange about crocheting when it's a 100 degrees outside). This is my newest project- a sweater! If I complete it, it will be my largest crochet project finished to date.

Right now I have about a foot of the back panel completed.

Christmas Crafting A LOT...

Somehow I was able to complete all of my projects in time for Christmas, I just wasn't able to blog about them until now...

So here are a few pictures of completed projects.

A stuffed giraffe I crochet using the pattern found here...



A personalized plate using these instructions...


And finally, I broke free of my fear and tackled some sewing. I was never really afraid of sewing, more so afraid of the inability to "get it right" the first time. This is one of the FOUR scarves I made, in addition to a couple sets of coasters (that I did not get pictures of).

Crocheting...

So here's what I've been up to the last couple of days...

The first is a surprise for a friend of mine. Can you guess what it is?


The second picture is a mitten that I am working on for myself. This is the second mitten that I crocheted. The first was large enough for a giant. I started over using a child's pattern and it fits well. Now I just have one more to make...
