Finished Raglan Sweater YEAH!

Finally finished the Raglan Sweater today. I believe it is going to fit a toddler maybe 12 months to 2 years depending on child size. It did turn out good for my first involved sweater and not just a garter stitch one like in an earlier post. Can't stay on puter long BIG storm coming through. Hope all is well in y'alls corner of the world.

Mom's Crochet Topper

I finally finished the crochet topper my mother wanted to take on her cruise. I made it in homespun even though it called for another type of yarn because my mother liked these colors. I got the free pattern sheet from a Michaels. It worked up fairly easy for my first actual adult wearable item. I wished the pictures turned out better but these are the best ones that I got. I probably should have had a model for this one eh? LOL....

Half Square Kerchiefs

Well, these are the kerchiefs I made for my nieces with different views on my lovely model. They made up pretty easy and I think they are going to love them. I got the pattern free at:

My first ever baby booties

AWWWW! Aren't these just the cutest? These are my first ever pair of booties or anything that resembles socks, booties, slippers-anything. This pattern is free on Bev's Country Cottage website (link at bottom of my blog) called Bev's stay on knit booties for newborns. They are knitted and were so easy to make. I wish I had tried them before. I had looked at many patterns for knitting/crocheting baby booties but this was the one that caught my eye. Love them....
Here is a front view of the same booties. I sure think they are cute....Not a bad job for my first pair. I sure hope that this turns into more of a sock/slipper/booties making effort on my part. So cute....
