Aunt Theresa’s Stocking
My aunt stayed with us for Christmas this year so I made her this stocking based on stockings that my mother made, which were based on stockings her grandmother made. It’s just flannel, felt, and Red Heart yarn. The pattern matches the pattern that my mom, myself and my little sisters have.

Haley’s Ripple Afghan
Lisa and Shaun’s Haley was born this morning so I rushed to finish the blanket I had started and bring it with me to the hospital. I followed the Easy Ripple Afghan pattern. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft 100% acrylic in Country Blue (9710), Bone (9703), and Sage (9705). I used a size H-8 crochet hook. I chained 98 stitches to start and got a finished size of about 26″ by 36″.

String Bag and Sunglasses Case
I made String Bag for myself. The yarn is Lily Sugar ‘n Cream 100% cotton in Key Lime Pie (02713). I used a size G hook. The only modification I made was to change the handle’s position to the sides of the bag. Since I had extra yarn I decided to make a sunglasses case in the same style as the handle.

Homespun Baby Afghans
I made these Homespun Baby Afghans for a coworker who just had a baby and a coworker who is about to. The yarn is Lion Brand Homespun 98% acrylic / 2% polyester crocheted on a size N hook. The blue-ish yarn is Windsor (341) and the green-ish yarn is Regency (320), and both are from AC Moore.

Spice-Toned Treasure
I finally finished the Spice-Toned Treasure afghan from FamilyCircle’s Easy Afghans. I chose different colors though, using Carons Simply Soft 100% acrylic in Seashell (9745), Toasted Almond (9746), Country Blue (9710), Dark Country Blue (9711), Copper Kettle (9744), Buttercup (9743), and Black (9727). I got all of the yarn at AC Moore. There are 140 granny squares whip-stitched together using hook size N. The only way I varied from the pattern was in the border. Instead of whip-stitching around the edge, I did a row of single crochet and then a row of double crochet.

Crochet Hat and Scarf
This pattern comes from the Woman’s Day Specials: Quick & Easy Knitting & Crocheting premiere issue. It’s my first crochet project. The stitches I learned are ch, sl st, sc, dc, and a special “popcorn” stitch (pc). The yarn is TLC Cotton Plus 51% cotton / 49% acrylic in the colors Red (3907), Lavendar (3590), Spruce (3503), Cream (3100), and Tan (3303). I used a size H-8 hook.
