After A Long Hiatus

Because of my husband's long illness and ultimately death, have not posted stuff in a long time.  However, I did continue to knit and crochet.  Often having a project to work on in the hospital ER, or at his bedside was all that kept me reasonable sane.  Mostly worked on simple items such as baby blankets.  However did complete the following items.  Knitted Projects

Crocheted Projects - other designers

 Crocheted Projects - My designs

And these were my contributions to Halos of Hope at Stitches South 2013 in April.

This year they donated items to an Atlanta area childrens cancer center and they requested sea themed items so I made Gordon the Jelllyfish, and the cute fish, as well as a stinky fish hat.  The other three hats were for their usual chemo hat collection.



Recent Creative Activity

Since being fired on 3/6/12 I have been busy knitting, crocheting, dying yarn, and writing patterns.  Here are the things I have knit or crocheted recently.

I also made this summer maxi sundress from cotton material I ordered on-line.  It is my own pattern developed from my memory of one of my favorite muumuus bought in Hawaii.

It is shown here unbelted but does have a belt that can be added.

I have also been hand dying more yarn.  Here are the most recent results.

I have several more items to knit and crochet plus some more clothing to sew for both myself and my great grand children.  Also I have several more skeins of yarn to be dyed. 

I am also working on developing several patterns that will be for sell soon.

 

Recently completed projects

Since my last post I have finished my Bonnie Jean shawlette, a pair of socks, and a mitered squares baby blanket.  I have also begun basic design work on a pair of socks.  Also dyed some yarn.

Long Time - Many Projects

Well it has been a long time since I last posted anything to this blog.  In that time I have done some more dying and completed a number of projects.  Here is the dyed yarns.

Also have a new great granddaughter due in March and have been making things for her.  Here is her Baby Cocoon and a dress with matching bonnet, booties, and diaper cover.

I am also taking a class on how to design your own sock pattern and that is going to be my next endeavor.



Finished and Current Projects

Continue to work on projects for Mission Market Place.  Here are a few of the finished projects plus stuff I am currently working on.  Am doing a bunch of cowls; cellphone covers, fingerless gloves, and wristbands in colors of local high school plus the two major colleges; and scarves but not many of them as others are also working on the scarves.
