A group to encourage each other to make gifts in 2019

Thanks ladies!!   I gave it to my friend's 23 yo DD yesterday and she loved it - my friend checked on her daughter during the day and found her sleeping on top of her quilt all wrapped up in the ghan💞

A dear friend in Florida has used  a motorized scooter to get around for about 25 years and has recently had a very major life change..  I've made totes for her to hang on her scooter so she can put her nook in there, etc. Second one is wearing out, she said,so I made another...using her love of flowers and ladybugs for inspiration...happened to have ladybird fabric on hand for the lining. One color is not raspberry but a Caron pounder in rose.

Wow Judianne, that is just adorable.  She is going to love that.  I love the flower and the lady bug lining.

Hi ladies!!! 

Are your hooks moving? Mine are....made a small preemie blanket and thought of a friend from here, Linda, who passed away a few years ago - it was just a granny square, which she used to make for a similar cause. Will be making more - NICU is getting more than their share of tiny babies.

Our church had triplets baptized a couple of weeks ago, so the stack of blankets I had on hand were immediately put to use....have to start working on more.

 

Any new projects lately or has the heat sapped away the crochet mojo??

Just finished with a large knitted project.  Hope to get back to my hooks, I sure miss them.

What did you make, Mary Jo?

[Tampa Doll]

I made a vest.  This is where you can see a picture.  https://www.willowyarns.com/product/sonia+vest+knit+pattern.do?from=Search&cx=0   I have to wash it and weave in the ends.  I am not really happy with the arm holes, but I am not use to making cloths.

Sometimes it's hard to get revved up for summer time crochet projects.

 

Here's the newest christening blanket. Drunken Granny pattern was recommended to me and it went very fast. Measures 29 by 32

You Tube video was super easy to follow.....

Judy love both blankets.  I have made a few things, jut have to get pictures.  Most will be looking for good homes.

[Tampa Doll]

Meant to say anyone is the path of this storm be careful.  We are lucky this time, it is going North.  They are saying Cat1 by Saturday.  Louisiana and Mississippi should be very careful.  We will get some feeder bands, but not that bad.

Be Safe and careful.

[richsgirl]

We are so out of the loop here in AZ, I had no idea a hurricane was forming. Be safe!

Thank you! I have two more small ones I made - just giant granny squares. Nothing much, but the NICU will be happy!
