Finally some projects!!!

I finally remembered to bring my camera somewhere (a.k.a. work) where I would remember to download the few pictures on it to put up here.

This is a speedy, lacy wrap. I did not use a pattern, just crocheted it. I used 3 skeins of JoAnn's Sensations Whisper in Red. This is done in a single crochet with a speed hook. It took me just under 2 hours to make.







This is obviously a scarf. I made this some months ago, before I started to keep track of what yarns I was using for projects. Obviously, nothing horrible special or hard, just a scarf in double crochet. It was part of Manda's Christmas present.

Okay, no Manda is not the only person I crochet for!!!


Another scarf/belt for Kirstee. This is her Christmas present and she hasn't received it yet because I suck pretty much.





Yet, another scarf. They make great Christmas presents! Not to mention, I was just learning how to crochet, so there you have it. This is a close up on the one I made for my mother. Another in double crochet with a yarn that I don't remember!! I made this one extra wide, because my mom likes to be able to have her scarves cover a lot of the back of her head.

Latest Work in Progress

So, I am hardcore working on my latest project, a ripple afghan. I'm not really using a pattern. Just chained a bit longer then I wanted the ghan to be wide and did the basic ripple pattern.

I'm using a single strand of worsted weight yarn. The ghan is for friends who are moving to Vandenberg AFB at the end of this week, so I didn't want it to be too heavy so they can actually use it before they move again! I'm usig Caron Country Basket Ombre (30oz ~ total) and Caron Cape Cod Blue (16oz total). I'm stripping it unevenly. 15 sc rows for the ombre and 10 sc rows for the blue.

I'll post a picture as soon as I get one taken. I'm hoping to have this done before they leave, but we shall see!!!

Introduction Post...

Hello and welcome to my crochet blog. Hopefully this will get more play time then other blog endeavors. Of course, this does require a little bit of effort, such as remembering to take pictures of my completed projects, posting my completed projects and keeping track of works in progress.

Like I said, welcome and hopefully there will be a yarn picture up really soon!
