You are welcome and like I have said many times, work you way down to thread.  Start with WW, then Sports or DK then down to lace, then finally thread.  Makes it so much easier.

I love the outfits you make.

IMG_7625.thumb.jpeg.f09f27c4e6948264587a3c1e624d86aa.jpegHi friends. So I took a trip to WI for my cousin’s wedding. It was cut short (long story), but I had a blast for the time I was there. Our hotel in downtown Sheboygan was coincidentally only a few blocks from the Lost Sheep yarn shop. I bought some yarn on Friday, and….returned to buy more on Saturday and at that point I had earned a $10 credit….so….I might have bought one more skein! Oops. 
I made the hat in the picture on my flight to WI. I noticed the shop had a basket where you could donate hats for kids in school who don’t have one. So I took this one in on Saturday and made another one on the way home Sunday. Crocheting on the plane makes the time fly by. (No pun intended, but I will leave it!)IMG_2598.thumb.jpeg.4031aaca176024849a19570e0912b609.jpeg

The weekend was great and I got to see so many relatives that I really miss!

PS, Tampa Doll, titrating down to smaller and smaller yarn size is a great idea. I’ve never thought of that. I got some beautiful sock yarn on my trip and have always wanted to make a sock yarn beanie. I will give your method a try.

Brenda, you have been busy. I was trying to “like” your posts but cannot for some reason. I love the springtime outfit. The purse and shoes are great! 
Last night I finished this guy. I guess that the drawback of using Dollar Tree stuffies is that they are not well made. This guy’s nose was trying to fall off. I tied it off and need to bury the ends. IMG_2608.thumb.jpeg.6d1ac9cb4eb8273228ba3dca23fb1df3.jpeg

Wow!!!

First the blankets are stunning.  I love the colors. 

The doll outfits are simply amazing.  Those dolls are ready for the runway.

Thank you so much for all that you do.  I can't wait to see all of the doll stuff.  I can't believe its almost September!!!!

Great hats and I love the yarn you used. It's a Lakeside hat right?

So many beautiful things! All of those stockings will be so appreciated by W4W. The doll blankets and outfits are adorable.

How great to find a yarn shop while on vacation.  The hat was beautiful.

Still working on the small dolls for now so they leave dressed.  This adapted a dress pattern into a summer outfit.  I hope to get back to the dress but it just kept wanting to be play clothes.

Chelsea Shorts and Shirt

The rag doll looks so cute in her pretty dress! I checked out your other projects at your blog too. Everything is so adorable and will be so loved by the kids who receive them.

Hi Cindy, the pattern isn’t anything really. I just dc until I feel like I want to fpbp for warmth around the ears. I started the fpbp a little early on that one but it’s ok. It will be warm.
