Baby cap

After making the preemie size cap with baby yarn, I decided to try it with worsted weight. It was pretty quick and just as cute.

Knit preemie hat

I found this pattern on http://www.sorellaandcompany.wordpress.com/

I worked it entirely on dpns (don't like circular needles, don't know why). I had some cute baby yarn so I used 4mm instead of 4.5mm needles.

It came out realy cute but of course, smaller than the original. It only took a few hours to make while watching TV.

I plan on making more, in various sizes and colors.

Attempted Christmas Stocking

One of my oopses.
I'm not sure what went wrong but I like the idea. I'll have to try it again after a few modifications.
I think I would rather work it in the round instead of having seams. The heel needs to be a little smaller.
Good thing I have a few more months to figure it out.



Completed Project

Phone case from a pattern ordered online. The fabric came from Hawaii.

Thiscase can be adapted to fit different size phones. It was an easy, quick project.

Back to School week

Now that the frenzy of the first week of school is over, I can get back to my crafting.
I have been working on small projects in the car as I ride around town while my 15 yr old drives. I also have to wait for her during her classes: more crafting. I can crochet, knit, and cross stitch in the car. I will post pictures this afternoon.

Blue Dress

Today, I finally finished a dress I started a year ago. It was sitting there waiting for buttons and a couple inches of top stitching. The fabric was a gift from a friend after a trip home to Hawaii. I can't wait to waer it. (I'll try to get a better picture of it soon.)

Productive day yesterday

I finished a dress for my 15 yr old,

and a doll outfit from a kit, complete with purse. It gives me some practice working on that scale.

There's room for improvement .I need to get proportions right for collector's doll.
