They call these Round Ripples. (RR)

This is my 2nd RR. I fell in love with this pattern. I love how it lays much better then the 9pt below. This is a baby gift. I used RH sport weight in a lavender and an H hook.

This is my first RR. It is a 9 pt. Done in CSS yarn, M hook. Colors are (center out) Bone, Pine, Natural and Country Wine. I think I may make this bigger. At this point is would make a good lapghan. But not much more and the colors are not a good for a baby blanket. It would make a could table topper though. I thought I really liked this pattern until I tried the lavender one.

Matching Hats and Scarfs

Peach & Cream Scarf & hat. The hat is actually more white then cream. Little flower on the hat. I think again, this will be a gift for some little one out in Colorado.

Pink & Grey scarf and hat. I think this set will go to a neice or great neice in Colorado for a gift.

Another Scarf for a child

Another Childs Scarf. Made with scrap yarn, M hook. Pointed tip again.

A couple of Scarfs. 1 For a child and 1 for an adult. Gift or Charity.

This was made with more scrap yarn. Adult size. Using an M hook and my pointed tip. Again. I just think the pointed tips to the scarf are fun!! Yes I would wear it.

Stripped blue scarf for a child. Pointed tip. Made with an M hook and a combination of RH and CSS. (Basically left over yarn.)

Scripture & Prayer

Psalms 100:1-2 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing.

I'm open to happiness today, Lord. Please remind me that joy does not always come from getting what I want, but in letting go of what I don't need.

Scripture and warm Wednesday

James 1:17 Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

When I say "Thank You" today, let me remember to Whom, ultimately, all gratitude is due.

What 5 things makes me feel warm inside. Gives me that "i'm thankful to be alive feeling".
1. The smell of baby.
2. The smile of a child.
3. A flower in bloom
4. The smell of freshly cut grass.
5. The warmth of hugging someone and telling them I love you.
6. The warmth of being hugged back and hearing the words I love you.

Ok so I got more than 5 today.

Scripture and Prayer

Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you...and give you peace.

Lord my life is a scrapeghan of light and dark colors. Each of my experiences and emotions are recorded there. But I long for a peaceful space in my being where I can stop and gather up the ragged pieces of my day and crochet them back together. Take me to your place of peace, rest and renewal so I may be revived and continue to crochet my life's story. Lord, thank You for the beautiful weekend. For time spent with my husband and just being together. Thank you for the wonderful weather and the peace a good nights rest can bring. Continue to watch over loved one, far and near. Continue to heal and comfort those in need. In your Loving name we pray Amen.
