Rosella's Afghan

This afghan worked up quickly and easily.  I like the fan and feather pattern, but I've avoided stripes in the past because I don't like to weave them in.  I put the fringe on instead so the chevron patter is vertical.
And, I see to my horror that the stripes are not the same!!!!
Well, what is done is done.  
Sigh.

Lynette's Chunky Afghan

I've done a lot with this pattern.  This is two strands 4-ply with size 15 needles, with 8 repeats for a little larger than 4x5 blanket.  She wanted "chunky".  It didn't take me too long to make it.  I would rather sit and knit that actually do my work.

I made the pillow out of a sweater.

New and Old

I dug these out of my stash to sell, but nobody wanted them.  I think I'll keep the one on the left and see if someone wants the other two.  


I've been making scrubbie dishcloths like crazy.  I love them.

Just Finished



Coasters 

Looks like I could have done a better job of blocking this doily.  


This vest is slightly too small.  I worked and measured so carefully.  I should have allowed some for seam allowance and a little more for give. The sleeves were loads too small, and I didn't have the heart to redo it.  It was such a challenge as the pattern was badly translated from Chinese and I had to use the chart and all my crocheting knowledge to get it done.

Old and New

This scarf, bag and two baby hats are the ones I put on display in library this year.  


These two scarves I made a long time ago.  I love this yarn.

This one is a drop stitch scarf.

I like the diagonal effect on this one.  It is a yo, knit 2 tog style, with the pattern on one row and knitting back on the 2nd row somehow makes this with diagonal rows and slanted ends.
