Hey everyone,

I just finished crocheting my dd a hat. I've started on another one for her but it will be a slouch hat and it will be knitted. I'm going to try to post a pic of the one thats done. I've never done it before so here goes nothing.[ATTACH]51597[/ATTACH]

That's so adorable!!

That is super cute!

 

 

Anne, I also like the idea of same color dresses with different accents, but I know that some moms really want their twins to be individual. I have one friend who never referred to her daughters as twins, and never dressed them alike, and another who still calls her adult daughters "the twins", and always dressed them alike. I think adding different color accents will endear you to both points of view.

Tina - The hat is gorgeous!

 

Ann - I would make the dresses with different accents. I know adult twin men that buy the same clothes but are married and do not consult each other on what the other is wearing. Yet they wear the same outfits on the same day.

 

Have a good night all.

Hi all,

Ann- I agree- different accents would be perfect!!!!

[grannyannie]

Good Morning Everyone! Thanks for all the opinions. It looks like we are all leaning the same way, lol! Same color, different accents it is! You guys are the best!

I need and intervention...I learned to knit January 25 and have been neglecting my crochet since. I made two crocheted hats, a few chocolate themed gifts for the chocolate swap but otherwise no crochet:eek. I have even designed a knitted item:think. Do you think it is intervention time?

To me...I would just follow my muse, wherever it leads:c9

I agree with Judy!

I'm thinking of some projects I have on my WIM list and need to start making a list. They may turn into gifts - or not. Most everyone I know has received something handmade from me...oh, I just thought of someone who hasn't!

 

I just like changing projects...it's sort of like the books I read. Right now I have maybe 6 books I've started - but no 2 are in the same genre, or even close.

I get bored easily:lol

I adapted a children's pattern to make this Gingerbread Scarf for a swap. I'm thinking it would be easy to change this to a popular kitty scarf for Christmas for one of the younger ones on my list who is a huge fan. Add ears and a little bow, nose, etc. and it could be quite cute.

What does WIM stand for? WIP is work in progress, but I can't figure out WIM

The Gingerbread scarf is so cute!!!

[judianne]

I'm thinking of making a friend of mine a nice cozy blanket just for her....I made her DD one years ago, and now I think it's time for her.

Not sure of anything yet - color, pattern... The one thing I DO know, it won't be bright:lol Bright is my thing, not hers.

What a great idea- and whatever you come up will be gorgeous:hug

the gingerbread scarf is cute.

I am literally pulling my hair out...my daughter and her friend want scarves no biggie...out of red heart sashay...again no real issue since our LYS had plenty. I bought it never having worked with ribbon yarn before i read the instructions. again no problem. i decided that this is a perfect project for my new skill knitting...again no problem. Easy cast on easy stitches. I have had to frog the first one four times most recently at the very end becuase my daughter decided that it was too short...so this is attempt number 5 on just the first scarf. these teenagers are lucky i love them. It really knits quick so i should finish both by the end of the weekend but jeesh frogging four times on a simple one skein less than 10 stitch scarf. What was i thinking! I know this yarn is why i wanted to learn to knit...it really is easier to knit with it than crochet.
