My daughter is graduating from college with her Masters in Engineering. I am making her this shawl for graduation. The pattern is in Russian, but it has charts. This is actually my first time using charts to do Crochet. It seems to be going well. I have made doilies before and this pattern seems a lot like them. It probably helps some, the fact that I have been crocheting for more than 40 years. I know the stitches well. I just hope I can get it done before May 8th.
Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

Here are the projects I have been working on lately. I finished another Afghan . This one for my niece who is getting married in June. I started another prayer shawl using a leaf pattern and an ivy leaf pattern in lace. Then there is the Raglan sweater that I finally got started. Hopefully I will have it done before next winter, so I can wear it. My other sweaters are getting thread bare.



Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

What would you call it??

I saw the neatest scarf shawl thing. I want to design a lace one but I don't know what to call it. It looks like a scarf in the front, as if you flipped the ends of the scarf over your shoulders. BUT in the back the ends are connected and knitted all the way across. So it is like a shawl. With a hole for your head. Anyone have any idea of what to call it?

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

I have been busy Knitting and Crocheting this week. These are for my grandchildren for Easter. The kitties are from an Alan Dart Pattern. And the little purse is from a Scalloped Pot Holder pattern that I found in Ravelry. I adapted it into a purse and put a lining in it.

We have the web page with Yarn and Project bags included! My son helped me get the Pay Pal connection so we could sell them.
I have been busy knitting. Have a couple of projects done and started on a couple more.

I finished Father Son mitts , and an ear-flap hat for my dear Hubby.

Now I am working on a prayer shawl for Church with a candle flame lace pattern on it and a from the top v-neck sweater for me. My other sweaters that I made some years ago are now wearing out. So I need some new ones. I have some yarn and projects that are hibernating. I think this year I am going to make it a goal to get them started and out of hibernation.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

Sock Blockers for sale

We have Sock Blockers to sell!!
I am also looking into selling some Yarn from MIB Fibers like the ones you see in the picture, and some project bags too!! I don't have a sample picture of the project bags yet. I am working on that. I will update things when I get them up online!
We do have several sets of Sockblockers done and ready to go. I use them to display finished socks for pictures that I put in my finished projects in Ravelry.
I got my Icarus Shawl finished blocked and all!! I started with the little gray blocking pads then I found out very quickly that a set of 9 of them is not nearly big enough to block a shawl. So I went looking at the big ones that my grand-kids play with and added them to the gray ones and with a little putting puzzle together I figured out a way to have enough blocking pads to stretch it out on.
It may be an Idea for me to go to Sam's and get their nice big package of the pads that cost about the same as the little set of 9. I am definitly going to keep my eyes open for those ones at Sam's.
Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

It has been a while since I have posted.
We have been making Sock Blockers to sell.
They are made out of wood and have a hook shape on top so that you can hang them up.
I use them to display my finished socks, so that I can take pictures of them.

I am working on a couple of monster socks, some fingerless mitts and the same old Log Cabin Afghan. When I get the socks and the mitts done I want to start on a sweater and maybe another shawl. I got my Icarus Shawl done but I still need to block it. (Maybe today)

You all have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
