Completed baby bear blanket

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 16:13:26 GMT

I made this blanket for my cousin's baby shower. I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out :)

It's made out of granny squares stitched together. Simple!

JUST A PLUG

I'm just promoting my newest group :)

I created one for Friendship Afghans. With any luck we'll be able to create themed afghans (specific colors, etc.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

This was my VERY FIRST attempt at crocheting. I was rather proud that it didn't look awful! LOL

Here are a few other crochet squares:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

This was my VERY FIRST GRANNY SQUARE! I was so proud of it b/c I seriously did NOT understand the pattern for awhile LOL

More of my granny squares. I ventured into changing colors. That's a big thing for me! LOL

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Here are some KNIT squares:

This one is called "Diamonds Galore"

this is a picture of the scarf thus far. the first girl did the grey, i did the black.

here's a close up of my section. i lightened it up a bit so you can see the detail :)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A few FOs

(blogger decided to EAT my other journal! so i'm now posting all my knitting projects HERE at good ol reliable lj! here's a repost of my post from november 20)

just wanted to post a few of my "finished objects"! i'm always giddy when I finish something. mostly b/c I'm such a FREAKING PERFECTIONIST that i usually end up starting a project a few times before i complete it!

sorry for the incredibly blurry pictures, but my webcam SUCKS! anyway, i'll have better pics on wednesday when I get my film developed.

this first one is for the scarf circle that i'm in. this is currently the beginning of my personal scarf (yay!)

i used super saver yarn for this & a deco-ribbon scarf pattern found on knittinghelp.com

again, i used super saver yarn, plus a pattern that a friend sent me. i actually liked these first two squares a LOT.

more super saver yarn LOL with a very simple knit/purl combo. this was actually the very very first square i knit for this project.

this was another ribbed square pattern that i used in the second square. but instead of my favorite super saver yarn, i used lion brand chunky usa in cherry blossom. beautiful color, i plan on using it for many many squares!

so there you go! a few of my FOs :)
