posh frock


i got this adorable frock pattern out of a book i got from the library. ahh, i can't remember the name. i'll look it up in a bit. i have to line the bottom part, obviously, but i'm looking for the perfect material. the picture is a bit blurry, but its the only one i took that showed the truest color. it's red heart simply soft in grape. love that yarn!!!!

hott pink shrug


this is from SNB and my second one. this time i did it in peaches and cream cotton, which helped it shrink a bit after washing it. i still hate this pattern and will have to find a way to make it work. i said this before with my black shrug. its such a dissapointment, but i'll get over it and keep working on it. i wore it to a party, tho, and everybody loved it and wanted one too. bleh!

cotton choker






oh jeez! i am addicted to making cotton jewelry with beads now. i guess because it only takes like 2 minutes. and its fun. and cute!

lacy sleeveless top


This is my berry tank top that i have been working on for about 3 months now. i used i-dunno-how-many skeins (maybe 7ish) of fingering yarn and a g hook. my gauge was perfect, but the scalloped part was too big! i have to adjust my straps and buttons so that it will fit a little better. but everything else was perfect. i wore it to a barbeque yesterday and everybody loved it. i got my picture taken a lot too, and i didnt realize how slimming the top was!!! :)

one skein scarf


This was the first thing that I made from SNB. It was back in March, but I forgot that I had this picture.
When I saw that yarn I really liked it, but when I finished the scarf, I wasn't too sure. I dont know what to wear with it. I dont have a coat to match. Maybe a jean jacket? I'll figure it out, I guess.

finished round ripple


This is the finished product! I used Caron Simply Soft in New White and Black and TLC Baby with the pink (its almost a coral). It came out to be 63" point to point.
I made it for a friend for her birthday, but she hasn't got the package yet, so we'll see in a couple of days if she likes it. She lives in Texas and I dont think that she needs a blanket, but they are just so beautiful and they have a million uses.
