Pink Shell Baby Blanket

I finished crocheting this baby blanket tonight. I really finished it last night but ran out of yarn with about 20 inch to finishing the edging. I hate when that happens. I was baby-sitting away from home and didn't have anymore matching yarn with me.

5-10 Point Starburst Baby Blanket

I got this pattern from Rose Red Designs. I used a H hook and Lion Brand Pound of Love Yarn. It really gives the round ripple a different look.

4 Dish Cloths for my collection

I have been having so much fun finding and crocheting dish cloths in the last few weeks, I have decided to start my very own collection instead of giving them all away. When I get a big pile done, I will have to find a way to display them. Here are 4 I crocheted in the last couple weeks.

Blue Baby Blanket

I finally finished another baby blanket. I started this blanket a week or more ago and worked on it off and on, a little every day. I also crocheted some dish cloths and some 4 of July baby items. Pictures will be posted soon. Frank and I have both been going to different doctors for various health problems. Hopefully things will smooth out soon and I can get more crocheting done.
