Tried it first in cotton"

I had a little red cotton at hand and a G hook and started this hat from "The Happy Hooker" by Debbie Stoller. It fits the foam head, but not mine. It is more a kid size, so I'll probably give to one of the nieces. It is a simple pattern, all in double crochet. It calls for Red Heart worsted yarn and an H hook. I have lots of Red Heart and the right hook. It crocheted up so quickly I am going to give it a try and do it with the right materials

Dressing Baby

This is the second dress I made for Karina. Crocheted from Jane Davis' Simple Crochet for Cherished Babies. I used Patons Grace in Rose. I also knitted her the hat. Isn't she a doll!

Baby dress

This is the dress I make my new baby niece. I gave it to her mom at her baby shower. I used GGH Merino and found some really cute buttons at Joann fabric store. Karina came 4 weeks early and this was the only dress that fit her. In fact she came home from the hospital in it. The pictures I got of her in the dress are on my cell phone. I don't know how to download those photos but she is my cellphone wallpaper.

Check out my knit site

I am doing so much more knitting than crocheting, though I do have a couple of crochet things in the works. If you want to see my knitted items check out my site, the link is to the right of this post.

LB Groovy Granny Wrap

This is a pattern I bought from the Lion Brand website along with all of the Homespun yarn. I tried one of the squares and this yarn is a little hard to work with; a little furry. I got frustrated seeing all the yarn in front of me, thinking I might not be able to complete this project. I ended up trying the pattern in LB Suede and here is the result.
