A ruffled shawl for Greg finished
I have just completed a mint and white shawl with ruffled edge for Greg's future babies. Again 8ply acrylic on a size 3.5mm hook.
Here is a picture of it in its real colours as I promised... the camera showed it up as a very bright green, but it is truly a lovely mint and white

A bit of everything!
This little matinee jacket was crocheted in shell stitch up to the yoke. I then knitted the yoke and sleeves in stocking stitch.
I added some ribbon between the yoke and bottom. The booties were knitted in blackberry stitch.. It looked better in real life than the photo...

Shawls for all
These four shawls were given to my adult grandchildren for their future babies.
These were all crocheted using my favourite baby blanket pattern in 8ply acrylic yarn on size 3.5mm hook.
I have kept them in gender neutral colours but the blue looking one is actually a mint green colour.
I still have some more to do. And I am hoping my hands allow me to keep going so that eventually there will be shawls for all..

A shawl for Dianne
This was a shawl I made for Dianne. It was before I found my favourite crochet pattern for shawls.
I used 4 ply baby wool using a 3mm hook. It was photographed over a chair but in reality it sat flat. The middle circular panels were done in double crochet and I shell stitched the rest... it actually looked better than in the photos.. It was about 3foot in diameter.

My heart is full..
Yesterday another delivery came of yarn for my future baby cardigans. I can't tell you how happy a full box of yarn makes me.
I already am planning the next project before I finish the one I am doing. I guess you could call me a prolific crafter!
As most people who sew can attest, acquiring new materials for future projects can become an obsession..
I am guilty as charged... and I love it!

Pretty in pink
This pink matinee jacket was made in Patons 3 ply baby wool. I crocheted the body in shell stitch, then knitted a yoke and sleeves to complete it...
I matched this with some crocheted booties but they aren't showing much in this picture..

A shawl for Tay
In this shawl, I knitted the circular panels in blackberry stitch, and crocheted a long lacy border. A thin band of pink ribbon was inserted between the centre panels and border.
I made this in Patons 4 ply white baby yarn using a 3mm hook for the border.. It was a metre in diameter and very full...
Tay still has it in her treasure box...
