Ear Warmers!

I've made 3 of these ear warmers: one in red 100% wool (which is for sale), and the one pictured here, which my cousin Joy bought and is modeling. (She also bought a black one.) I can make them any length or width. (For sale using synthetic - not wool, cotton, etc.: $10 - price subject to change de- pending on the yarn, etc.) An elderly lady where I worship has one. Ms. Rena's seems to be commercially-made. She let me borrow it and I more or less copied it.

New Hat!

This is a simple hat, but warm, will cover your ears and stretch to fit most adults. The yarn I used has all the colors in it. It is 100% acrylic. I can make them in any color (solids, etc., though I have no more of this yarn on hand - I do have a bit of a couple of other variegated/ombre' colors). This is for sale, and because it is syn- thetic and not wool or cotton, etc., is $8 (unless the cost of the yarn goes up). Let me know what color you'd like and if I have the color on hand that you want, I'll be glad to make one in another color.

Baby Blanket!

I enjoy making baby blankets, even though they take longer to make than hats and scarves. Sorry, the baby isn't included! Isn't she a cutie! (I bought this doll and her "twin" at a thrift store! This "baby" had light "skin"; the other one has darker "skin". Both are beautiful and look almost real! ) This blanket was for sale (It sold on February 12), and is all synthetic, but real soft. I guess the angle
I took the pictures is why the color looks different. The blanket is 30" square or maybe a little bigger. (It IS more or less square;
I have the bottom corner tucked up.) If you'd like one, let me know. I sell these for $30 (if you pick it up; otherwise, I'll have to add shipping; price subject to change if the cost of the yarn goes up, and depending on the yarn that you want) and can make them in whatever color you want - solid or with a contrasting trim, and with or without a hood. The pattern is a free one from the Lion brand yarn company.

Mesh Hat

I met Carol at a fast food place. She had heard about me through the grapevine. She didn't live far from me. She had a very much loved old hat that was about worn out because she'd worn it so often and had washed it a lot, too. It had a tag inside that it was made in some other country. She asked if I could copy it. I did, and after paying me, she asked me to make 2 more! There is a similar pattern on the Patternworks site, using Fantasy Naturale yarn. The one I copied works up much faster. I can make this in any color, and sell for $18 if I use synthetic (not wool, cotton, etc.) yarn. Prices subject to change if the cost of the yarn goes up.

Afghans

Here are 2 afghans I crocheted. I made up the one that's got a lot of yellow in it, combining granny squares and zigzags. I gave it to friends in thanks for some help they gave me. The fan pattern is one I made several years ago from a kit (probably from Annie's Attic - they have a similar one now called a "scrap fan afghan).
I sold it for $100 at a consignment shop.

Jacob's Ladder

This "throw" is called "Jacob's Ladder". I made it for the gentleman who usually takes me to worship. (The grape design tile I recently posted was for the same family.) The pattern can be found on line, though as usual, I didn't quite follow the pattern! I don't remember what size hook I used, but the yarn is plain ol' worsted weight. The brand is "I Love This Yarn", which is Hobby Lobby's store brand.

Painting

I love to go to Painted by U, even though I must schedule the par- atransit bus. And with poor eyesight, it's not real easy to paint, not that I've ever been real good. But it's a fun place, not too expen- sive, plus both Joann Fabrics and Hancock's Fabrics are in that same strip shopping center (and both those fabric stores also carry - ta- dah! - yarn!). Here are 2 things I painted. The switch plate is in my hall, next to a painting I did at Sips 'n' Strokes, and I more or less painted the switchplate like it. The other is a simple 6" tile that I gave to a friend. She has grape patterns in her kitchen. Painted by U has templates, stencils, and stamps, but I prefer to do my own thing, crude though it may be! I feel that it's more personalized.
