Bedspread Crochet Quilt Project

 Here is my work in progress!  I'm trying to get it done in time for the county fair this Summer, but I find it's taking much more time than expected.  However, I'm very pleased with how it's turning out!  It's going to be a queen size bedspread, and is made mostly with Lily brand Sugar'n Cream cotton yarn, as well as Lion brand Cotton-Ease yarn.
 I've really liked the combination of the two yarns.  Sugar'n Cream is a bit stiffer, and creates really clean lines for good stitch visibility.  The Cotton-Ease is super soft, and a total pleasure to work with!  It adds a flexibility and coziness to the blanket, and works well with the Sugar'n Cream.
I'll keep you posted on this project. ;)

A New Beginning...

 I love to crochet!  I have many different artistic bents, and will be carrying out new projects all of the time that I would love to share!  I hope you enjoy!
 These are squares for a bed spread that I am working on.  There will be a detailed post about this project in the future...
 This is a hat I designed and made for my dear friend, Ingrid.
Here are a couple of sweaters I designed and made.  I entered them into the Deschutes County Fair in 2012, and won a blue and a red ribbon.  The one on the left was my very first sweater, and I was quite pleased with how it turned out.  The one on the right I made for my niece, Macy.  She picked a pink and green theme, and I added in the off white color.  I was THRILLED will how this sweater came out!  I'll post more detailed pictures of these projects at a later time.
