Thank you, they are cute, aren't they? ;) They got a lot of comments that year but they never dressed in tandem again despite my begging.

I used to do a fair amount of cross stitch once upon a time, I did blankets for each boy when they were born but my youngest's blanket was the last thing I did. I should try a small piece and see if I still have the patience for it.

I really like that Angel one, Shea and that's saying something because I'm not usually that interested in angels. I think it may have something to do with it's simularity to the Argonath from LOTR. ;)

Yeah, that's what I thought! What really compelled me to do this one was the Earth. It looks like a photo! I'm at the point where I can start it, but I'm almost afraid to :eek:

I spent this last week doing another baby blanket for a friend. I just finished it this morning. Here's a shot of it. It looks kind of green but it's really blue and yellow crocheted at the same time. I never did that before. It makes it rather heavy and I wouldn't recommend doing something like that in July. I had planned on finishing my welcome sign now, but I just found out yesterday that yet another friend is expecting! Time to go out and get more yarn. At least I have plenty of time since I can't seem to get an interview. :rolleyes:

Is that knitted shea??It looks great!

Thanks! Nah, can't quite get the hang of knitting this is crochet with a shell stitch.

Oh wow ! I want to learn to crochet *sigh* I dont suppose its possible to teach me over the internet is it??

If you run a search on crochet, you'll actually find tons of sites with tutorials. They all have a different way of presenting the techniques, none of which begin the way I do. Their's is all very complicated. Maybe I can get Leo to take pictures of my hands as I start a chain.

I have no idea where I got this old book, but judging by the fashions in it, it's from somewhere in the twenties or early thirties (didn't even have color photos yet!). I decided to finally make something for myself, so I'm going to make my first sweater. It's actually called a morning jacket. I just love this stitch and I'm making my sweater out of the yellow, and I'm also doing that baby afghan in the same stitch, but with blue.

nice :nod:

I like the old style pattern, Shea. It's a nice looking stitch too. I should really try to improve my crochet talents, because you really can't do that type of pattern with knitting needles.

It's actually a really easy stitch. I'll post it if you want it. I have no idea how it ends yet. The top row isn't level across.

One of these days I'll try knitting again. I've always wanted to make cables.

Oh Wow Shea! Very amazing! It all looks nice.

I am a 4-Her, and the county fair is this week, entry day was yesterday, and all my projects did really well, I am short on time right now, but I will post pictures soon! I am quite satisfied.

Can't wait to see them!! :)

I finally got a picture of the book cover I made.

Looking good, Nightshade.

That's really pretty, Nightshade. I like the idea of the quilt square on a book cover.

I have my preparation book which needs a nice cover,nightshade.would u volunteer?
