Steeler's Stocking Hat



Here is the stocking hat, it wasn't hard to make..but does take alittle more time then I had planned. JJ really likes it and asked it he could have it for winter. They are a cute hat.

Autumn Leaves Square One


I have since scrapped the tree skirt I was planning on making. I did start it, but it wasn't working out for me. I then found the Autumn Leaves pattern. I really like the look of this afghan, and I am making for myself! I have never done the Tunisian stitch, so I had to learn. After pulling out the yarn three times I got it. I kept missing a stitch, and the square was very uneven. But I'm good now, and am working on the third block. It does get a bit frustrating when you have 3 or 4 different colors hanging off the back, and trying to keep all the skeins apart...lol. But it has such a nice look when it's done. I am going to make the pink ribbon afghan for Erica's Relay For Life team using this stitch. I will put the vein in the leaf when all the squares are done. Off I go....

WIP

I am now working on a Christmas Tree skirt. I don't think it will take long to do, the pattern seems easy enough. I finished the stocking hat and will post a pic later. I am getting tired and don't feel like messing with camera now. I also bought 2 patterns last night from www.e-patterns.com . The Autum Leaf and Butterfly afghan, I am giving the Butterfly one to my neighbor. I told her about it and she was very excited to see it. I am going to work on the Autum Leaf over the winter, and I am changing the colors. I don't want it so dark. Well..off I go!

Hat and Scarf


Here is my Mom's hat and scarf. It's so soft, that yarn would make a really nice afghan. To bad it's so darn expensive! I used Paton's Devine in Frost Green. One Christmas gift done!

Granny Baby Blanket



I made this baby blnaket for a co-worker of my DH's. He just had his first, a little girl. This worked up nice and fast. I used Caron Simply Soft, and just did a few granny squares, and then went around it in granny fashion. CUTE!
