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 :)

Amy's blanket # 1




This is the progress I've made on Amy's first baby blanket.
I've gotten all the squares done ( all 85 ) and I sewed most together yesterday. I have two more rows to sew on, then I can begin the border. I love the color of this one, such a pretty pale yellow. I cant wait to finish this one, so I can begin the second blanket. I'll post the finished blanket as soon as I have it all done. Should only take a few more days.

Kristen's Scarf


This scarf came out so pretty, and so easy. I was able to make it in less then 2 hours. Its really just a neck wrap. I made it for my friend Kristen as a welcome to her new home in Watertown, Ny. I hope she likes it and gets alot of use out of it. Im sure she will, living so close to Canada.

Kevins Scarf

This is the scarf I make for Kevin. It came out really nice, but not as soft as I'd hope it be. Im not sure if its the verigated yarn or what, but its definally not as soft. I still like it, and Kevin was upset he forgot it when he left for skiing.
