Shower Loofahs





I decided to make a few different Loofahs. The large one is 2 skeins of Sugar & Cream.

The Medium is one skein using an "I" Hook.





The Rose is a little over a 1/2 a skein with a J hook.

Paw Print Knit Bag

This is the first bag I knitted for my daughter in a pink camo type acrylic/nylon. It has a Paw print on the front. It definitely has some stretch to it. It was a lot larger than I had expected it to be. Not bad for my first knitting in a round either if I say so myself :)

Party Time Pink


Here is my daughter being totally goofy in the skirt and tank top that I made for her. Of course it is 30 degrees outside and she wants to wear it around the house where the rest of us are wearing sweats. I started out following patterns for each and then gave up as the patterns were for toddlers and as you can see my daughter is not a Toddler.
The skirt is a SC around with one increased row on row 2. There are two ruffles at the bottom.

The Tank top is a DC with an expanding row on row 4. Then I added the strap and looped it into the top DC.

My first attempt at a blanket and its a Pillowghan.

Its a Pillow...........
It's an Afghan.....

Its a Pillowghan and a wonderful pattern from my best friend, SonoranCrafting.
Since my poor son never received a homemade blanket, I thought I owe him one now that I am learning to crochet. This is my first attempt at a blanket. My son was very excited for his pillowghan, enough that he put down the video game to play with it for a bit.

This was made using Patons Canadiana yarn of Rainbow and Bright Royal. 4 skeins of each color and a G size hook. The squares are 12" approx. (11 rounds). The pocket was sc at the top and then stitched on the sides. Oh and it took me the full 2 months I have been learning to crochet to learn how to do granny squares.
