More Sweaters



Here are my latest 2 sweaters and hats finished for the sweater drive.

Upgraded our Goal Totals

I just shipped a box of 22 sweaters and 22 hats to Gods Tiny Angels this morning and it bumped out total donations up to 632 for this year, fast reaching our goal of 800. As we have 6 months left I decided to raise our goal to 1000 donated items. I know we can do this!

Blue Cross Stitch Sweater and Hat Set


I crocheted this sweater and hat set today using the cross stitch pattern. I add the little bulldozers buttons to finish it off.

Babies and Blankets

Below are 3 links to Norton Hospital in Kentucky that show babies wrapped in some of the blankets I crocheted and were donated by Gods Tiny Angels. I am just thrilled to see the babies in my blankets.

Round Ripple Baby Blanket


This round ripple baby blanket went super fast. I used 2 strands of yarn held together through out and a K hook. I used some of the Bella DK Tapestry yarn and Red Heart Soft Baby yarn in white.

Special Blue Sweater for a little boy baby


I finished crocheting this sweater and hat tonight. I had some little dump truck buttons I got in a large lot of buttons from Ebay and think they are perfect for this little sweater.

Yellow Hearts Baby Blanket


I just finished crocheting this yellow hearts baby blanket tonight. This pattern from Leisure Arts and is titled "Tender Hearts". It was quite a challenge for me. I did a lot of frogging on this one so I am very glad it is finally done, and I am very happy with the results.

More Baby Sweaters



Here are 2 more baby sweaters and hats and one pair of booties. I did get some cute buttons to add to some of my sweaters. Even though I don't like sewing on buttons, they do add something extra to the sweaters.

2 Cuddle Sack with Matching Hats



I have crocheted 2 cuddle sacks with matching hats. Bubbles is modeling the multi-colored one that I crocheted with the shell stitch. The blue and white one is made with the twin stitch. I was running out of blue, so I saved a bit for the hat trim and finished the top of the sack with white, and most of the hat is white with the blue trim. I think it turned out pretty good.
