On my needles

Right now I have in process: a wonderfully soft yarn newborn hat and a backpack.

August has been a very productive month. Because of new yarn (always a modivation) and joining a new group, I have been very modivated. Got lots of UFO's finished, a couple thrown out for lack of yarn, etc. Besides the Olympic medals, since August was my dad's birth month, I dedicate this items to him.

Need to finish up: finishing touches to a burial gown, crochet ties for 3 pair booties, two of which was made from Vanna's Choice. Sew buttons on one sweater and two bibs.

Need to: take pictures of Olympic items and get them sent off

I think this is the least amount of projects I have going at the same time. I also only have one UFO to finish, but I need to find the book that has the instructions.

More pictures

Another 5 hour sweater with hat and booties. These are the booties that go with the 5 hour sweater.

The hat is the newborn pattern done in garther stitch.

These are for AC4C this month. I have a blessing gown, but need to do the finishing. It took me two years before I was able to make my first gown, then I use to cry while making these, but now I just feel good. Meaning I know these are hard to craft, I don't think any of us are glad there is a need, just that we can full fill a need.

I love these Beginner Toddle Slippers. They work up so quickly.

Yes the booties are missing the ties, but I promise I will have them finished by the time I mail these.

New backgrounds

My DIL has some awesome backgrounds so I went to the site. It only took me about three times longer than it would have taken any of my grandchildren. But it's up. I like it. Need to figure of the color of the fonts, but that'll be another day

Olympic challenge

Here are some things that I made for the Olympic challenge. Yikes I may not make it cause the USA is racking up the gold medals.

5 hour baby sweater, Newborn hat, (momentally forgot name of slipper patten) and sideways mittens.

I got up this morning determined to get a couple of photos taken (sorry about the unmade bed) and get them on my blog.

Here are two newborn hats but instead of following the pattern after the ribbing, I did garter stitches. Thought they matched the booties better. Also a pair of toddler booties.

These pictures represent some of my favorite patterns. I'll try to post some more in a couple of days.
