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.

Deb's Afghan


I'm into knitting afghans lately.  I'm really enjoying these lacy ones. I feel really good about the way this one worked up.  It's beautiful.

Renee's Afghan

This is a gorgeous and fairly easy pattern to memorize.

2014

A few leftover projects from
2014

I love these knitted bags.

Crocheted baby afghan.

The shawl is one of my favorite, most wearable things I've made.  It's warm and easily taken on and off.  It is displayed here in the library.
