Lacy Dishcloth

Here is yet another dishcloth I made for a Christmas gift (along with other cloths). This one worked up so quickly and was very easy. All the dishcloths and other items I made for my family in Maine for Christmas has been shipped out. I'm glad I was able to get it all done in time, however, I will be starting on next years gifts after the holidays. I was just a little stressed this year that I wouldn't be done in time. Next year, I'd like to make some clothing rather than dishcloths and small items like that, so that's why I need to start early.

I did this discloth with peaches and cream cotton yarn, that is usually what I use for my dishcloths. You can find the pattern for this dishcloth here.

Baby Hoodie

Here is a hoodie that I made for one of my great nieces. She is one and this would be just perfect for her. Another Christmas gift done! Time sure is flying by and Christmas will be here before we know it. I have only 1 more gift to do and then I can ship them all out to Maine! The last gift is for my great nephew who is 7 and he has been the hardest one to think of something for....All the gifts for my family in Maine (14 people total) are crocheted....and the 7 year old boy was the hardest to decide on. I think I've decided on a hackey sack and possible a alien space ship with some aliens if I can get the pattern for it.

I'm still planning on opening a shop selling all my crocheted items after the new year. That is my goal for 2008..........It would be great if word got around and people were coming to my store to buy my handmade items. I love crocheting, and although I have many family members to crochet for...it's still not enough people for all the items I want to crochet. I want to have a slew of different items from clothing to toys to trinkets.........

Dish Cloths

I've made some dish cloths for little "side" gifts for family members. I know my mother really likes them so I've made some for her. These were quite easy and are really pretty patterns.

This next one is the climbing shells dishcloth. I really like this one alot. You can use this pattern for so many things like scarfs, afghans...it's really a pretty pattern.

Socks..again

Well, my husband conviscated that last pair of socks I made since his older pair had given out and his feet were cold. So I had to do up another pair to replace the last pair which was a Christmas gift. I actually like the 2-toned pair better. I have one more pair to make and I think I will make that 2-toned as well.

Time is slipping away, but I'm making progress on my christmas list. I've been working every single night crocheting my fingers off...they are even feeling a bit sore and stiff in the morning, but I'm not letting that stop me.
