Gingham Cowl
Well here is the gingham cowl I made for myself. I am so pleased how it turned out. I sort of used the gingham pattern I used for the baby blanket I crocheted a couple weeks ago. I made it about 61 inches long then connected the two ends. It goes around my neck twice.

Granny Daisy Baby Blanket
I just finished crocheting this baby blanket. I used a pattern I found on the web, but made some changes. It called for triple crochet puff stitches but I used double crochet reverse popcorn stitches instead. I love the way it turned out.

Seaside Squares Baby Blanket
For this baby blanket I used Lions Brand Pound of Love yarn in mint green. I usually don't crochet patterns where I have to sew squares together but this one went really fast and was fun to do. I just might have to make another one soon.

Green and White Shell Baby Blanket
Here is another baby blanket finished. I used Pound of Love Yarn and a H hook. This was not a fun blanket to crochet as I had to change color on every row and that is a lot of ends to weave in. But the end result was very nice.

12-Point Round Ripple Baby Blanket

Ripple Baby Blanket
After starting this baby blanket over a week ago, I finally finished it this morning. I got side tracted a couple of times when I picked up my knitting needles to see if I could still knit. Well, I found I could still knit but it is so slow going compared to crocheting. I will stick to my crochet hook.

Here is another cuddle sack and hat set I just finished. I used Baby Bee Baby Boucle yarn from Hobby Lobby. Since moving to Pa. three weeks ago we now have many places to buy yarn, Joann's, Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Walmart all with 3 miles from where we live and AC Moore is about 25 miles away. Haven't checked to see if there are any LYS in the area yet.

Towel Toppers
On May 31st we made a major move to Pa. We have been busy unpacking and getting settled into our new home. I have had no interest in crocheting as I have been so very tired. I decided I wanted to try something new so I watch a video on how to crochet a towel topper. I got these 2 done and now I am ready to start crocheting baby things again.
