12" Cluster Stitch Granny for comfortghan

This is from the Medley of Granny's, Called the "Cluster Stitch Granny". It was orginally for a 6" granny and I needed a 12" so I played with the rest of the rounds. It goes out tomorrow for a friend (from the ville) who's sister has cancer. The friend will be making a comfortghan. I really wanted dusty rose, but couldn't find any. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft in Bone, Plum Wine, and Baby Blush.

Ripple blanket and fish fridgie

This is my ripple afghan I'm working on. The colors are css wine, css pine, rh Aran Fleck. As you can see by the scarf posted below this post. I used a smaller hook and I'm getting more of the ripple effect then the wave effect of this one. But I love these colors.

On the top-- is my fishy I was messing with. I'll make him into a fridgie. I was expermenting thinking these would be cute on some scarfs. Here is the site he came from. Or maybe it's a she.

New scarfs & hat I'm working on

Some projects i've been working on this weekend. The top one is a receiving blanket that I crocheted around. I found the blanket at the goodwill, it was brand new, still had new tag and I paid .99cents for it. _________The 2nd one is a scarf made out of scrap yarn in a several granny's. All the yarn is RH. Next to it is an hat, I was just working in circles in sc and then did dbl stitches. Caron simply soft in bone and the dk blue is a scarp ball with no tag.________

Next is the start of scarf using the ripple pattern and made out of scarp yarn. I love the way it is looking and its a ripple. Yippeee. _________The third is a two tones of pink mixed with tan, done in a combination broomstick and textured pattern at the end. I really like how the colors and the larger broomstick with less loops is making this one look. It wil go to Colorado I think.___ The 4th one is made of the same yarn as the broom stick. I'm just alternating rows of stitches. 3rows of sc, 3rows of double, 3 rows of triple then change colors and start again. This will be a charity scarf. More to come.

2 more blocks for my comfortghan

These are two more blocks I received for my comfortghans. Aren't they gorgeous. The camera phone just doesn't do them justice. I really should dig the camera out of my purse and take these pics somewhere other then my desk. Thank you TCarra.

Comfortghan blocks from Crazybunny

These two blocks were sent to be by a freind over at the "crochetville", Crazybunny. They will go into a comfortghan I am working on. I also sent her a couple of my blocks and you know what I never took a pic. of them. I've sent out several blocks and not taken a pic. of any of them. How bad is that. lol. oh well.

Shaded yellow BB. Textured.

This is a textured, baby blanket. (I still need to get the rest of the trim on it. Ran out of the yellow. arggg.) This is a gift for a friend of my son's who wife is having a chold #4, a boy. I LOVE this pattern. Stitches up fast and easy. Looks so pretty. I had to use a combination of yarns. The yellow and white is Caron Simply soft. The variegated yellow is Peaches & Cream, "yellow ombre". I could not find any yellow multi color yarn that I liked, except this brand. It's really for wash clothes. But the colors matched beautifuly. Although a little heavy. It would really be more appropriate for a fall or winter baby. Not a summer one. Oh well. O yea, the hook is a "K". The pattern is off of an ol site. I'll have to look up the name later and added here. She makes blankies for premies and posted her pattern to give as gifts or charity. I do have a green & cream one with a matching hat, that I made for charity. One of these day's I'll get that pic posted. And yes, Peaches & Cream makes the most wonderful duable dish clothes. I love them too. And I use this same pattern for them.

Crochet

Well it looks like my ripple scarf is turning into an afghan. I like the pattern so much and the colors I've decided to continue on with it. Not sure who it will go to. Maybe me. lol. So far I've really not kept anything i've made except a few dishclothes and hand towels and a scarf.

Scripture, Crochet, Prayer

Deuteronomy 1:21 See, the LORD your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

It is a beautiful day (as long as you stay inside with air-conditioner) other wise it is hot & humid. I'm fine with staying in, keeps my allergies and asthma happy. I did piddle around in the yard after 10 pm last night. Transplanted a few plants that looked like I got them too close together.

Still working on the purple/pink queen granny, and then started another one. Not a granny. This is with some Caron Simply Soft Brites, the picture on the label looked so fun. (for a child) and I'm itching to work with some soft yarn again. The pattern is a little on the small side to read, so I thought I would go their site and see if I could down load the pattern. Nope, they apparently do not offer this pattern anylonger. So I best not loose this label. (I think I will scan it into the computer, then I can turn it into a pdf and make the print larger.) I can't finish up on the shades of brown granny until I can find the right color "off white" to continue on. It was 3 balls of scrap "off white" I had and I'm not sure what brand, or actual color so I'm having a heck of a time. I thought about ordering, but it is so hard to match a color on line. So I've hit the hobby lobby's. They had some, but not the right texture. Now its time for Michaels and see if maybe Jeffrey Allans sells yarn. Otherwise I'll go back to hobby lobby and settle for a different texture. Otherwise I'll just turn this into a baby/toddler afghan and say good and start again.

Lord, thank you for giving us this beautiful day. And working air-conditoners. For the beautiful flowers that are in bloom all around me. Thank you for all the blessings you give me. A wonderful husband, two awsome boys and a ton of brothers and sisters and family to be thankful for. You are truly an awsome heavenly father and I thank you.

Bryans Kitchen set.

I made my youngest son Bryan (who has finally moved out) some hanging dishtowels and two dish clothes. I also made him a couple of shower/soap scrubbies. That are not showen.
