Labels for your crocheted items


These labels are so cool, I know in this picture its a little hard to read, but it says "made especally for you by me". I love these, it lets the person your making something for forever remember your the one who made it. The website I got these are: http://www.herrschners.com/search.aspx?q=knitting+labels&catID=0&tab

Beenie hats







These are really easy hats to make. I've make a bunch so far...Kevin loves his, and my dad asked for one. There made with Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn and one skain makes 2 hats. These might be a great item to make before my craft fair in November. There soft and very warm =).

The blankets for Amy's Twins



Well, here are the two blankets for Amy's twins. I love the way they came out. As you can see the yellow squares are a little smaller then the green ones, but maybe thats a good thing. That way they look slightly different, yet they are the same. I'd definally make this blanket again. It was very simple and I think its very sweet looking when its finished.

Scarfs







Well, please dont mind the picture of Kevin ( my boyfriend ), I took that at 5:30am this morning while he was eating breakfast. I love the scarf I made for him...so much nicer then the other one I made ( see older post ). This one was make with Lion Brand Homespun yarn. So much softer. The only think I dont like about that yarn is that it fray's very easy. For the fringe I put on, I had to knot it on both ends so it wouldnt unraval. Not sure if you can make that out in the picture.
The purple scarf I made for myself to match the coat my mom bought me for Christmas. The coat is a pale perrywinkle color...very light purple. I love it..and I think this scarf matches pretty good. These neck wrap scarves are nice...there not too bulky and yet there pretty warm around your neck.

Amy's blanket #2


Well, I finally finished blanket number 2 for Amy. As you can see, its the same pattern as #1 only with Green instead of Yellow. I love the way this one came out. The yellow blanket is very cute, but the squares came out much smaller then the pattern called for. I had to make double the amount to get it the right size. So for this one, I used a larger hook so each square measured about 4 inches, little more maybe. Because of this, the green blanket was bigger then the yellow one by about 3 inches. What I then did was make one more row on the yellow blanket to even them out. I'll show you the two of them together when I get a pic =). I cant wait to give them to Amy. I think I'll wait until closer to her due date. I believe its in June, but her doctors said she could go early since she's having twins.

Kyle in his bunting


How cute is little Kyle in his new bunting. Dont you just want to eat him up!!! I knew this was going to be a bit large for him, but wow, he's swimming in it. I hope he's able to wear it at lease once or twice before he's too big for it. If not, Carol Anne, your next one can use it =). Im so glad you like it, and he's just the cutest thing ever!!

Amy's first finished blanket

Well, I was able to finish one of Amy's blankets when Kevin was away. I've started the second, but dont have enough squares done to even post a picture of some. When I get a few more made, I'll post what they look like. I have plenty of time, she's not due until the end of May beginning of June. I do like to have them done and ready when the babies arrive :)
