Green Pinafore Set

Here is another pinafore set. I got the pattern for the diaper cover written and will post it next.

Newborn Pinafore, Diaper Cover & Booties

I finished crocheting this 3 piece set tonight. The color is peach. I think the pinafore turned out a little large for a newborn. The pattern called for a H hook. I will try a G hook on the next one. The pattern can be found on Bev's Country Cottage web site. I made up the diaper cover as I went. When I make another one, I will write the pattern down.

Spring Baby Blanket

I crocheted this baby blanket using pretty spring colors. I used the soft yarn Lions
Brand Pound of Love.

Yellow Baby Blanet

Here is my latest baby blanket. I used the boxed cross stitch.

Crocheting Dish Cloths

I have been having fun crocheting dish cloths here lately. Here are two of my latest. One is a sunflower dish cloth and the other is a dress dish cloth which when finished I found it fits nicely over a 16 oz dish soap bottle. I will put it in my kitchen window to dress up my kitchen.

Frank's Hats

Here are 47 hats from Frank's loom.

Baby Sweaters with Matching Hats

I have been crocheting some baby sweaters off and on these past couple weeks. Here are four of them.

20-Point Pink Baby Blanket

I finished this 20-point round ripple baby blanket this afternoon. I used 3 shades of pink. I purchased the pattern from Rose Red Designs.

2 Tone Blue and White Baby Round Ripple Blanket

I made this round ripple for a baby boy. It will be donated to God's Tiny Angels.

Magic Ball Scrap Round Ripple Afghan

After months of working on and off this scrap afghan I finally finished it tonight. It measures 50 inches across and now resides on the back of my recliner. Of course, anytime I lay something out to take a picture, my cat Angel has to be there to get in the picture too.
