new project

I found a really neat newborn gown and cap called "Take Me Home Mommie" its a bit challenging for me, I had to frog several rows twice. THanks to some encouragement from a fellow crochet lover in a group I belong to, I'm planning on enterign the cap and gown in a contest that runs during the Mountain State Forest Festival here in West Virginia. Its hosted here in town in the fall.

I'm still working on newborn bootie and cap sets. I work on them while I walk to and from work. I got 10 sets right now.

plenty of new work






WEll, I've definately been busy. I've made quite a few newborn booties and cap sets, pocket tissue pack covers, and I even designed my own variation of a granny square.
My fiance was making a simple chain flower and I was brainstorming on how I could take the basic design and make it fuller. I was originally thinking of making it for a pin, but after I made the flower with a green backing, it seemed just right to be able to build a granny square onto it.
I made a few premie caps too, but I sold them at my yard sale before I got a chance to take any pics of them.
I got a lot of other project ideas, but right now I'm kinda short on yarn. HOpefully I can get some soon.
