Finished object

Finished yesterday. Intended for Bob and Edie who are hosting the Thanksgiving dinner to which I am invited. I "winged it" using the sc, ch 2 stitch from a Lily Sugar 'n Cream dishcloth pattern. I got the yarn free at a class I took at the Concord S. C. Convention in October.

It's only a scrapghan

....But I love the way it turned out. I only had to finish the white row and it was the 40" diameter that I was aiming for. I don't remember when I started it or what pattern I followed. I had put it out on the sunporch in a cute little basket. It looked nice just sitting out there, but I'm glad to get a UFO/WIP project finished.

Photogenic, but....

I finished this yesterday. It only had about 4 rows needed. I used the picot edging from the Cutie Hat. It looks nice in the picture, but it does not feel soft. This is what disappointed me about the Bernat Mosaic yarn with which I was enamored the past year or so. It is so fun to work with, but the "hard" feel is a real downside. I still have about ten skeins of the yarn, four in this color and more in a brighter colorway. We shall see what emerges from that!

The first 2014 project

This is  the first item I have finished for the 2014 Knit and Crochet ministry. I didn't quite get it finished for the ingathering/distribution of the 2013 items last weekend. It was my trial of a large "solid" granny square, which I believe would be warmer than the traditional "holey" granny. It is  40" square, the size I am making my "lapghans." I'm thinking of using it for some baby size (30" square) throws, since I have learned that holey patterns are not desirable for babies, who can get their fingers caught in the holes. 

Version 2

This is my second cutie hat, using a solid color. I used Lion Brand Pound of Yarn. It is not as bulky as the Red Heart Super Saver, so it turned out a little smaller, maybe toddler size? In working through the second time, I discovered that I had erred in my first project. I failed to notice that in the fourth round, the pattern was altered to add more fpdc (front post double crochet) ribbing. It still came out with the same number of stitches in that row, so it didn't really ruin it. The body of the hat just has twice the ribbing of the first hat. :-)

New pattern

This is a new pattern "Cuffed Cutie Hat" I found on the label of some Red Heart Super Saver yarn I had in my stash. I was a little bored with the Team Spirit hats, so enjoyed trying something different. The ombre yarn does not really showcase the stitching. But I like the picot edging. Its a girl's size.

Finished

This is the finished sweater that I gave to Abby. I later made a headband from the same yarn and gave to here. I don't know if she's worn it or not.

An aberration

I made this is yellow and black when I needed something to work on during a meeting of the Knit & Crochet Ministery group a couple of months ago. My apologies, Bucks.
