new stuff. and more

I just finished weaving in tons of ends for this blanket. I usually weave them in as I go, but these stitches were too far apart and it just didn't work that way. I hope my niece likes it. It is big enough for my queen bed, just to the edges. It is the kitties in a row pattern from Bev's Country Cottage, but I made it bigger to be for an adult. Jessica loves Kitties, so that is why I chose this pattern. I sure hope she likes it. I love it. I also am sending some slipper bedsox to my sis and my little niece too. My dad finally got his Serenity Prayer blanket, got it on his anniversary, so that made it special timing too. tomorrow is Travis' 15th birthday. It seems like just yesterday, man does time fly.

New stuff and what I have been up to

Good afternoon everyone. I have been sick as well as trying to spend more time with my family and not so much time on the puter. I have been knitting and crocheting on something almost every day. It has been super cold here in Colorado, so I have been making more slipper sox. I think they will be good add on gifts for Christmas. I have made 5 pair of adult size and one pair of kid size. I am working on some more now. I am also working on a couple blankets. One is a graph afghan for baby in Broncos theme that I am doing in Tunisian crochet. I am also making one for my niece Jessica. I hope to finish it soon. It is 53 inches long now, but she is tall, so I have a way to go. I am in no way ready for Christmas yet. heck, I still have things to mail and cards to finish filling out. I have been busy though with both knitting and crocheting as much as I can fit into my boring schedule.

More things I have been working on

I have been working ons some more things. I thought I would add the pictures. I hope everyone is ready for Turkey Day. It is my favorite holiday. I love homemade stuffing and pumpkin pie. First is a knit hat I made for Cora. My friend whose prego and this is her baby blanket. I decided to knit her booties, and I only got one finished, so I told her to get the other one she would have to bring the baby to visit when born. Then I was messing around knitting with some scrap cotton and realized I didn't have enough yarn to make a square dishcloth, so I just improvised and came up with a miniature hanging towel. what do you think?

New Serenity Blanket made for a friend's daughter.

this is my new Serenity blanket that I made for a friend's daughter's 30th birthday. I added a soft white shell border to make it look more feminine. I sure hope she likes it. I need to mail it to SC. I also knit a hat and booties to go with the round ripple that I made for the doctor's office. I have to go and get that delivered to them. I need to go to the doc too. lol

had a long weekend

Me and Collin Raye Oct. 23, 2009

My apple cloth also taken with my cell

have been doing all kinds of things. thought i would add what pics I have. I hope all of you are getting ready for the holidays, they sure are coming up quickly. I have more stuff done that I need to take pictures of and weave ends in, the part I dread the most. I love to crochet and knit, but hate weaving in ends. LOL

New stuff.

here is some of the stuff I have been doing the last week or so.

My newest creation.

This is the newest thing that I just made. I made this as a gift, so I can't say who it is for now, as it will be for Christmas. I love the Serenity Prayer, and I think the person I made this for will love it too. At least I hope so. I love it too. I will probably have to make it again for myself.
