Bulky Fiber Necklace: Dark Wash Denim

Hey, y'all!

Here's another color variation on my Bulky Fiber Necklace.  This shade of blue goes fabulously with every pair of jeans in my closet.

I used super-bulky yarn and a plastic Q hook to make this.  Pattern coming soon!

Elizabeth's Scarf and Hat

Hey, y'all!

Long time, no see. My computer died again, and you know what the holiday season can be like. Things are starting to get back to normal, and I'm going to try posting some recent projects from my iPod app. Here goes nothin'.

First up: Elizabeth's scarf and hat. This set was made using Bernat, and it's super-soft to the touch.

I hate modeling, but I love this set.  :)

This order came in after Elizabeth saw my set, which I made from Red Heart Super Saver in brown and mixed fall colors.  I'll post pics of that set soon.  You wouldn't believe how cute it is with my fire-engine red winter coat.  ;)

See you soon!

Carrick's Baby Blanket

On Thursday, 7/7/11, Boss Man and his family welcomed a new little boy into this world.  Carrick is already surrounded with people who are in awe of him, and I'm sure he'll grow up to be a people person just like his daddy.

When I heard that baby Carrick had arrived, I wanted to do something special for him.  After digging through pattern after pattern for baby blankets, none of them appealed to me.  So I went back to my favorite prayer shawl book and found one I loved.  I modified it to make it lighter, almost lacy, since Carrick lives in Georgia, and I made it larger than the pattern called for.  The last modification is the white single-crochet border.

(Please forgive the horrendous quality of the pictures!  The camera battery was dead at home, so these were taken before my shift at work today with my iPod camera...could be worse, I guess.)

The fun part about finding the inspiration for this blanket in the prayer shawl book was that it gave me the idea to make it a "prayer blanket."  With every stitch, I said a little prayer for Carrick to grow up healthy and happy.  I hope he can feel that when he snuggles up with it.  :)

Super-Fat #23: Faded Denim

I'm one of those gals who would much rather be decked out in denim and cotton than anything that needs to be - heaven forbid - dry cleaned.  Anyway, jeans go with everything, right?  And this is the perfect go-with-anything-and-compliment-your-favorite-old-jeans kind of purse.

This bag measures approximately 16" wide by 9" tall and 9" deep, and is lovingly handmade using cotton yarn and rattan handles. As with all of my bags, the flower clip is removable/interchangeable.
