Crocheting a Shawl

Have you ever visited Tanya over at Taniwa? Back in October she had a post on "Crocheting a Shawl" . It was so lovely, I had to make one. I only did 7 repeats of the central motif and probably should have done 9 to make the shawl longer. I wish there had been enough yarn to make the fringe longer, but I still really like this shawl.

Thank you, Amy

Do you remember this little scarf I knit for Baby J? Well the other day I got these lucious FQ in the mail from his mommy, Amy. Thanks, Amy!

These are what resulted when I was given a lot of free yarn.

What to do with felted sweaters

You know, the wool sweaters that went into the hot wash and shrank. Make mittens! Here is a stack of ten pairs of mittens waiting to be stitched. And then they will be whisked away to benefit the homeless. Felted woolens make the best mittens: thick, warm and almost waterproof.
