Penn State Gragh Afghan

My Penn State graph- gahn, and I haven't touched it in weeks! I have been busy, and got bored with it. So, I took a break...I am almost done with the Halloween sweatshirt and I will pick it back up. Plus, it's getting cold in the evenings and it's not as hot working with it. I would love love love to get this done and start the Bellwood Blue Devil for summer. And maybe, if I feel really motivated, make a hockey one for a certain nephew. We shall see what happens!

My first try at punch needle, and I enjoyed it. It works up fast, and is so easy! This little guy is getting framed and put in our bedroom. It will fit into a 5x7 frame, so it's not a BIG project. I did buy 2 Christmas stocking kits that I am going to make for JJ and Cade, as they do not have stockings for Santa. I also am going to try and do this on clothing, I have checked on the net and found a site that explains how to transfer your design onto clothing, and then you can punch it! I want to make a sweatshirt with pretty fall leaves, and maybe one for Halloween!

Bellwood Community Picnic Throw

I finished this Friday night, it measures 50'' from point to point. It's a nice size, just right for a throw. I started JJ's Spiderman Round Ripple, twice! I had messed up reading the 3rd round and had 9 points instead of 12. So after trying 3 times, I got it. I'm such a blonde, if my hubby had not been talking to me when I started it I wouldn't have messed up!! Will post a pick when I get a few more rounds on it.

Round Ripple

I am giving the Round Ripple a try, and it's not hard at all. I started this last week, so the picture is old. I have a lot more rows on it now, just no new pic. I am giving this to the Bellwood Community Picnic, and want it done asap so it can be diplayed with the other items that are donated. Last year I was alittle late, and that afghan wasn't on display very long. I am going to make JJ a spiderman round ripple when this is done.

Pink Ribbon Lapghan

I finished the Pink Ribbon cancer lapghan today. I am going to run it through the wash and block it, and maybe go one more round on the boarder, I'm not sure yet.

I am planning on starting the Bellwood Community Picnic afghan tomorrow. I got the graphs done and all the yarn bought. I don't know if I should do it in the tunisian or just single crochet it...hummmm. It would give me an excuse to go to AC Moore tonight and get bobbins if I do it in single crochet..lol!

Winter is still here....

It's so cold out! 6 degrees, but it really feels like -10 below!! Brrrrrrrr!!
I have 3 squares left on the Cancer Pink Ribbon afghan, and if I could get my butt over to the sofa, I could get it finished in 2 days. I will work on it today, I swear! I messed around with a new crochet graph software I bought, and once you get the hang of it...it was easy! I printed out the two graph pics I had saved forever now, of the Bellwood Blue Devil and the letters BA(Bellwood Antis). I am going to make squares using the tunisian stitch, alternating between the two graphs....it's going to look really good!
Well, off to crochet!

Cade is now sitting up on his own with no support from anyone! And he is having a blast, he sits up, laughs, then lays back down to roll to a new spot..and repeats!! I have tried to get a picture of him laughing, but with no luck!

Here he is starting to giggle, but I snapped it to soon!

Pink Ribbon Afghan

This is what I have done so far, I do have a 4th square done, just didn't take a pic. I need to get on the ball with this!!

Baby Blanket/ Deer

I finished this baby blanket about 10 minutes ago! I started it this past weekend...not bad huh?!! I have looked high and low for a John Deere pattern, and found NOTHING! Sooooo...I made one. It turned out great! I rule! Anyway..it's for a friend of my Mom's, her son and his wife are having their first baby in March. They collect everything John Deere, and once Mom found out they were expecting she asked me to make a baby blanket. I said I would try to find a pattern for the John Deere, but only if they were having a boy. Well, it's cute and he'll be the first baby to have his own John Deere baby blanket!
