New things on the horizon

I tested a pattern for the Swing Cardigan. I like the way it came out. I am also testing a shawl/stole pattern for a new designer. It is so pretty. I am on the second half now. I will be finishing the 2nd half and then starting the edging soon, this is what it will look like when done, except mine is done in crimson. The pattern is wonderful and beautiful. here is the link to the designer's blog site.

From there you can get the link to the Ravelry pattern. Try it. It is kind of a pattern you need to pay attention to at first, but once you get into the second pattern repeat it gets much much easier to fly thru.

here's what mine looks like so far. will post more pics when I am done.

Test pattern for girl's cardigan

I am doing a test pattern for a lady on Ravelry. I have the cardigan all finished except for sewing the pockets on. I need to get some straight pins to do it. Here are some pictures. I will put a link to the cardigan once the designer has put it up for sale.

I worked it in Colonial Blue Vanna's Choice yarn and it is knit. Once I get the pockets on, I will be sending to my niece Elena.

Cal Doily

This is before I weaved the ends in, I am trying to download the other pics. Just not co-operating with me. Will have to add them later.

I have been working on a few things. I will add pics. I did a CAL in one group I am in and it was a pineapple doily. You may like it. For some reason, I lost the blue thread I was using, so I did the border in pink. I think it looks good. I am in the process of making a hoodie again. this one is for my older niece. So, when finished it will be an adult size. She wants me to add a pocket on the front, so we will see. lol.

Today marks the anniversary of Don and my first date to go and see Travis Tritt at the Greeley Stampede. Oh what a fun day that was. I drove all the way from San Antonio to meet Don and go see my Travis Tritt. We have seen Travis a few more times since then, but not in a few years. He needs to come back to Colorado soon. I am having major withdrawals.

Not been doing much. Too hot

Hello. I haven't been doing much. But I will add a few pics. the blanket is blue baby bernat boucle yarn and very soft. It is for a friend who will have a grandson really soon. The dolphin cloths are knit from a pattern off of Ravelry. The doilies, one is yarn and the other in thread are the "I love you" pattern from a Crochet magazine.

New dress and hat for Mela

I made this dress for this baby. It is for little Mela. Her mommy has been my friend for a long time. She finally brought Mela to see me yesterday and so I made her this little dress and matching hat. I don't have Mela here to model, and no doll, so I put it on my teddy bear that I share with my doggie. She got a little upset and curious when I dressed the bear up. lol

revised some pics.

The hoodie is actually for my other niece Elena. Her birthday is coming up. I am going to see my aunt today. I haven't seen her in over 10 years. So, I am going to give her all the stuff to take to Jan, Elena, Jessica and Ghianna. I just love the way this dress turned out. the pearl buttons really are nice.

new Stuff for Ghianna mostly

Well, my sister had little Ghianna Mia Angelina Merino on April 18th. She is adorable, so her TIA Yvette has been making her things to wear and have. I also made a hoodie for her older sister Elena who will be 6 coming up soon. I made the first hoodie too small, so that is going to another friend, but all the pics will be here.
