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.
