I really like how it turned out. I used Caron Simply Soft color way Black. The pattern is Seraphina's Shawl By Doni's Stuff It was hard at first but once I continued the rounds it was a breeze. I will be making more of these in different colors. I used 4 (6oz.) skeins completely and then I used about 1/3 of the 5th skein for this shawl. She wanted it very long and she is a tall girl. I think it would make a nice size with just 4 skeins.
The next item I finished way before Christmas...The Leopard Bag for my Aunt. I made this pattern up...
My nephew is holding it for me. The handles have not been put on yet. I am going to send it to my Aunt and she is going to put a fabric lining in. I am not good at matching fabrics and yarn. If I were to do this bag again I might make the spots smaller and maybe put a fun fur trim on the top of it.
I have also started some washcloths. Before Christmas I did one for my LYS to put in the shop for display. By the time I got it there the yarn was all sold. Everyone had the same idea as me. :o) The pattern is Knitted Lacy Round Cloth the yarn I used was Bernat Handicrafter Holiday "Ombres" I can't find a link to that yarn.
For this one I used Cascade Yarns Cotton Rich colorway # 8176
Here is my lastest project. It is a crocheted afghan. Half-double crochet with the Q hook. I am useing 3 strands of Caron One Pounder Deep Violet and 1 strand of Jumbo Prints Ombre Evening Jewels. It is a squishy, snuggly afghan and a quick crochet.
Well, that is what I have been up to and now I am working on finding another project to work on along with the Q hook afghan. I need a couple to choose from at all times. :o)
Until next time.....
