From Plain Shirt To Fabulous Shrug

It's nice to finish a project in less than 2 hours. It gives one a sense of accomplishment. So I took a break from crochet and knitting and made a shrug from a plain t-shirt that I bought on sale. The photos above show the result.  Watch for my How To Instructions on my next blog.

Good Service at Knitting_Warehouse

I'm very impressed with the service at Knitting Warehouse I ordered 6 more crochet thread of the colors that I need to finish the Summer Shawl. I ordered them last Thursday and the package arrived this Monday. I'm pleased. I'll definitely buy from them again.:)

Thread Crochet

I was enticed by the color of this Red Heart  crochet thread which sparked my interest to working with crochet thread again.  This is size 3, so it is not too bad for my eyes and I can see the stitches well.  I'm going to make a summer shrug or a shawl if I have enough Thread.  I ordered some more from Knitting Warehouse since Walmart did not have enough.  This is in WIP status along with the baby blanket that I'm knitting. 

The stitches pattern is from http://mypicot.com and the thread as pictured above is by http://www.redheart.com/

Knitting FO

I'm learning how to knit and this is one of the result of my knitting experiments-- A knitted washcloth with crochet edging.  Now I'm wishing to knit a baby hat.
