Lots of finished projects!

I am thrilled to announce this first completed project - My Heart Nephew - Jason's afghan! He is called JKonn by his Grandmother - Martha my Heart Sister. It was done in Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Cornmeal, Blue and Cherry Red.



The next is the 2nd in a series of scarves I am making for my Heart Sister Martha. This one is called Queen Anne's Lace. I found the pattern through Ravelry. It was made with the most delicious fingering weight yarn in turquoise and black from this Etsy shop - My Colorful World



And a close up view:



And finally a little Prayer Chest to include in my Doily Exchange to Chris. I found this pattern at Jean Maries Patterns I made mine in yellow with coffee colored trim using scrap yarn and a toggle button to lift off the top. I added a few prayers in for Chris - I do so hope she likes it! Sorry the pics are a bit fuzzy - I hoped to get betters ones but it's already packed and ready to ship.






That's about it for now.

Potholders and Doiles

I finally got the camera working again and someone to help me take pics. The first is the newest potholder that I received in my exchange. This one is from Temberley - it's a beautiful sunflower!



The next is also a potholder it's one I made for my Heart Sister - Martha! It was made with Cotton Yarn in the variegated color Meadow! The pattern is from Priscilla's Crochet



Next is the doily I made for my exchange partner and friend Chris. It was made with Aunt Lydia's crochet cotton - the color is Maize.



And last but not least - I finally got the refill of the starch I needed so I was able to starch up the Christmas Tree Doily I made in October of last year!

Jazzie Scarf and Snowflakes

I made a bunch of snowflakes to add into a lot of my Christmas cards this past Christmas. One of my friends, Barbara from church, asked if I would make some more for her to have for this year. So I made up a bunch of her. They are made of Aunt Lydia's thread in white and soaked in a glue/water solution and allowed to dry flat. That stiffens them up to be hard and flat and I added a ribbon for hanging. It was a nice restarting project for me to work with thread - I had not done thread work in a while and I am so enjoying it again!



And this is my version of the Jazzie Skinny Scarf. The pattern is super easy and can be found at:

Jazzie Skinny Scarf

I made this scarf with the most delicious 100% cashmere recycled yarn. I purchased it at this etsy shop - she has stunning yarns! All made from recycled clothes and they are all beautiful to work with. I didn't want to even remove the yarn from the wrapper - just wanted to hold it to my cheek -it is so so so so so soft!!!

The YarnGirl's Etsy Shop

This first view is on my new (well recycled from a friend) mannequin! She is so helping me with displaying things for pictures! You should be able to see the whole scarf. Just a few inches short of 10 feet long! I made it for my Heart Sister - Martha - she is very very tall!



The second view is a close up of the scarf so you can see the pattern better - it was very easy and worked up very fast!

Next Potholder and ArmChair Pouches too!

This is the next Potholder I received in my exchange. It is from Irma - actually she sent me two - they are lovely - done in orange, yellow and white variegated cotton yarn.



I am so enjoying this exchange!

And these are some armchair pouches I made for my chair. I made them with Red Heart Super Saver in Rose Pink and Soft Pink - holding one strand of each color. The pattern is based on the pattern from the link below. I changed it a little bit to make the longer and shorter ones I wanted. But the idea was from this link:

ArmChair Pockets

This first one is for my crochet stuff when I am working on a project - like scissors, beads, ribbons, etc.



This second one is for the TV, Satellite and VCR/DVD remotes - I'm always dropping them!



And this last one is for the control for my life chair - I am always loosing it.

Potholders, Potholders, Potholders!

I am on a great group on Yahoo called - Sunday Afternoon Hookers - we are a small group of women and a few men that love to crochet! Currently the group is running a Potholder Exchange. You made a potholder a month and send it to the recipient of the month. There are six months in the exchange and six people involved in the exchange. So on one of the months I am the recipient! This month - February - I am it! So far I have received two lovely potholders. This first one is from Natalie - it's beautiful! The picture only shows the Pink side of the heart but on the other side it is Red.



The second one I have received is from Elaine - it is lovely - the star in the middle is white with silver thread running through it.



And this last one is the potholder I have made for when I send out to the other five recipients. It's a little boring, sorry to say, I wish I had done something more unique now - I do so hope the ladies like my choice - I am worried about it being so simple and sort of plain.



Thanks for looking!

Edinburg Wrap

Here is my newest completed project. The pattern is called Edinburg Wrap - I purchased it on Ravelry. The creator did hers in yellow and red with black trim. I did mine in Red Heart Super Saver Yarn - colors were Paddy O'Green, Royal Blue and Black - these are the colors of my husband's Irish Clan. This the first time in a long time I did crocheting on top of an already finished piece - the black to make it look like a plain was fun to re-learn! I enjoyed it and will definitely be willing to do another one! I think it came out rather well. I'm very happy with it - I made is slightly longer than her pattern called for to make it fit me better.
