This little pink sweater was my first project...I love the little scalloped edges. It should fit a 3-6 month old baby. Maybe I will get lucky and someone will have a girl.
This is my first crocheted baby blanket. 100% cotton and about 35 X 35.
Rob thinks this blanket is beautiful but he is less than thrilled about my new hobby. It annoys the living crap out of him when I make something just to make it...When he sees me working on something new he immediately wants to know who it is for. Now I have babies to make stuff for!!!!!!!!!
I have also pointed out that crochet is much safer; he gets a tad nervous when he is driving and I am using 5 tiny double pointed needles in the passenger seat. A crochet hook is benign in comparison.
I am working on a new blanket, it is pretty complex and I went on-line to find the specific yarn the patteren specified. Un-dyed 2 ply silk.......it is $25 per 1oo grams and I need 350 grams...If any of you know a place to get a good deal on yarn please let me know. I am working it in cotton right now but would love to try it in silk...just to see how it would feel.
Have a great Thursday!

You remind me what can be accomplished if I were to toss this computer out the window....
I need to be your neighbor....
I would buy wine, you could crochet and we could talk!!!
I have tried and tried to crochet and suck at it. My cat has a 1/10th attempt at a blanket at the bottom of her crate.
Wow. Those are beautiful! I especially love the blanket!

I used to do cross-stitching, but my counting OCD loved it too much and paxil and therapy kinda spoiled it for me.
really, those are beautiful! Show us more of the stuff you crochet and whatever it is you do with 5 needles.
fabulous! i will try this again to post! sell the stuff on ebay, buy your silk!!!!!
BTW-can you make the sweater in sizes 3,4 and 6?
I am not a huge fan of crocheted things but I have to tell you, that blanket is adorable!! You could probably make you some monies off of Ebay with your pretties.
Your work is Gorgeous!
