What goes where, and next??







The two tone pink scarf is knitted, warm and fuzzy.
The purple basket weave scarf is also knitted, has a bit of a scalloped edge to it.
The Blue Bunting is knitted corner to corner with crocheted ties.
The blue, white and varigated blue baby ghan is crocheted using dc and v stitches.

I had planned to send the bunting to one of my charities, but a co-worker saw it and really liked it for a shower gift. I sorta wish I had said no; but you know sometimes you don't think quickly. I made it with left over yarn so only charged her a few dollars, probably didn't even cover the cost of the yarn now that I think about it. Silly of me really.

The other items....need to review my list and see where things are most suited. But, think the ghan is probably going to a Marine or Navy Base for a newborn who's daddy is deployed.

Been making lots of newborn hats, not yet photographed; and lots of squares (the group they were suppose to be for seems to have disappeared...hum).

Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day


**Found where to send the blue and white ghan, it's heading for Marine Kids along with these 4 hats that I now have a picture of





and the 10 squares on their way to PatrioticAfghans

Catching up, Squares, Sweater, & Spring!


Finally got my Buckeye Sweater finished. It's knitted with Lion Brand Woolese. What nice yarn to work with. Tis my sister-in-law modeling it, and doing the "O" for OHIO. She seems very happy with the sweater. I need to make 2 more, one for myself and one for the other gal we tailgate with. Hoping to get them both done before next football season begins. Was really pleased I was able to find football buttons. Found several different ones; but like these the best and hope to find more of them.



I managed to send some squares to both Patriotic Angels (5 6 inch squares and 2 hats), and 10 8 inche squares to Patriotic Afghans. Squares were all crocheted, the green hat is crocheted, the pink one is knitted, and the above sweater is knitted. The sweater though wasn't a charity item

TGIF....sigh




Been awhile since I've updated my blog, so a few days ago I was able to update my charity goal tracker on the right....this direction

Missed work, had whatever the virus is going around. Managed to finish the squares and scarf I was working on; so need to take those off the in the works list, pictures still in the camera so will load later. Joined a new group today, Homespun Helpers. Looking forward to getting acquainted over there.

Sent a pillow to my daughter (forgot to take picture of it finished........errrrrrrr), but have a picture of it when it was on the needles. Turned out cute, fuzzy, funky and very soft.



The green shawl is knitted and it's keeping my daugher warm. Took the picture of it in a hotel room in Baltimore, thus the green on a green chair doesn't show up great. Sorry. I was finishing it in the car while we were traveling there. You know how the last minute stuff is. If you're a crafter you do.

Can someone take a look at the 2 questions I posted over on the right and see if they know the answers. Thanks
Peace all enjoy your weekend
