2 Cuddle Sacks with Matching Hats

Here are my two latest cuddle sacks with matching hats. Will start making more of these to donate to my local hospital.

Blue Teddy Bear Baby Blanket

I finished this baby blanket tonight. The center teddy bear part uses a reverse popcorn stitch, so I got to learn a new stitch. For the trim I just started doing a granny square.

Hearts All Around Baby Afghan

I finished crocheting this baby blanket this morning. It was a purchased pattern by Susan Jackson. A fun pattern to crochet and I am already thinking what color to make my next one.

Yellow/White Round Ripple Baby Blanket

I just finished crocheting another baby blanket. I used Pound of Love yarn with an H hook.

Working on my PhD

Teddy Bear Filet Baby Blanket

Here is another baby blanket. I used Bernat Baby Sport yarn and a G hook. The pattern is from Leisure Arts. I used the center of the pattern then double crocheted around it ending with a single crochet.

Another Scrapghan by Frank

Frank finished this scrap ghan last night and has already started another one. He is determined to use up all our extra small balls of yarn. Well, we have been saving all our left over yarn for years so he still has a long ways to go. These scrap ghans will be donated to the Help For Kids program here in Myrtle Beach.
