That One Sweater I Made...

Ok, I have already posted about this sweater that I made for my niece, Macy, but I took these photos off of my Mom's blog so that I could show anyone else who happens to be interested, some more detail.  I designed this myself, when I was really just getting into crochet.  There are some things I would improve upon, certainly, but over all, I just LOVE this sweater!  It's Alpaca and Sheep's wool.  

My First Commissioned Project!

Teri, a lady at work, commissioned me to make a baby hat with a baseball theme for her son, and his wife, who recently found out they are expecting.  She is a softball player, and he a baseball player, and it's how they met, so Teri really wanted to give them a little something for Christmas to let them know how excited she is for them.  I took the challenge, and had a lot of fun with this!  I found a picture of a similar hat, and then recreated it using my own pattern.  I wish I had better pictures, but this will have to do until the baby is born.  I hope you enjoy!

More Hand Warmers!

Here's the truth:  I was making these for me, because I liked how my friend Melanie's turned out so well.  I was overzealous, and they ended up being much too large for me.  My friend Vonda, who was here visiting from abroad, was over so I could show her my crochet chaos in my apartment, and I came across these...  They fit her perfectly, and I am SO glad they didn't go to waste!  I like them better for her than for me, anyway.  It must have been meant to be!  :)

Yay!

I just want everyone to know that I do have more completed projects, but they are Christmas presents, and so forth, so they will be coming soon!
