To Encourage Everyone in Making Gifts for 2018

[greyhoundgrandma]

Judy, the RR is so pretty and a sweet little hat, too.

I'm finally down to the border on the baby blanket for Sunday's shower. Hopefully I'll get to it this afternoon.

[Tampa Doll]

Wow Judy that is really pretty.

I have set aside my monsters to make a Gonk for  St. Patrick's Day.

I just finished the baby blanket except for weaving in the ends. It was a close call. I got the pattern in a kit with 7 skeins of yarn and the first time I made it, I used 5 1/2 skeins. So when I got ready to make it again, I had 6 skeins of the same yarn and didn't really give it any thought. This time I had 8 yards left. Way too close for my comfort.

Here is Shamus and he is the St. Pat's Gronk.  I have a picture here of him before and after his haircut.

sweet little guy, Mary Jo!

[greyhoundgrandma]

Cute--I love the hair!

[richsgirl]

I am so excited to FINALLY be able to post something here lol!!

Finally finished Ezra's blankie. We were going to move back to Alaska in May so we could be there in time for his birth, then my daughter announces that her dh is going into the air force asap and they willl likely be gone before Ezra's birth, he is tired of working two jobs to make ends meet so I can't blame him really, but that definitely puts a crook in our plans!

 I made this pattern with I love that yarn. Crocheting on the 24 grannys was a bear. The pattern was written by a lady who's first language was not english, and I had a really hard time understanding that part, so I just basically fudged it.i think it still came out pretty good. I am not totally happy with it but fairly, and very glad that its done finally.

[greyhoundgrandma]

Thank you all!

[Tampa Doll]

That afghan is so pretty.

I finished these last week, but did not want to show anyone, until they were delivered.  They will be delivered today. A friend lost her Maltese and I decided to make her one.  The one is made with a D hook and size 2 yarn.  The larger one is made with ww yarn and a G hook.  Still quite small.

Mary Jo, that is such a thoughtful gift!!!

Well my next gift is a small one but a big leap forward for me since this year I'm finally tackling thread.

St. Patrick's Day Bookmark

[judianne]

Mary Jo - that is such a sweet gift

 

Bailey -coming over to the dark side?...lol! Yay for working with thread!

[Tampa Doll]

Love the book mark.  Found one that is a Pink Panther.  Welcome as Judy said, to the dark side.  Sometimes you need a change.

[Apak]

I didn't know working with thread is going to the dark side I should re-think my crochet

[ratdog]

The bunnies are adorable. I love the thought of them dangling from backpacks.

[Tampa Doll]

Just kidding Anna.  Thread is what I work with all summer.

I don't know if I told you or not, but I love the afghan.  The bunnies are just adorable.

Good morning ladies.

DH took the St. Patrick's Day box to the Post Office this morning.  The couple has had several moves and we are hoping this is the last one for a LONG time, but they are settled and I got the address to mail the box out to yesterday.  I included the Easter books, since I don't have the Easter stuff ready, but I figured she could start enjoying the stories.

I still have to upload one more picture but I have one for today.
