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

Kristin — Sat, 23 Sep 2006 23:19:59 +0000

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″.

Egg Babies

Kristin — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 21:59:28 +0000

I made these out of Lily Sugar ‘n Cream 100% cotton in White (00001) with a size G hook. The faces are just yellow felt and black permanent marker. They are for two little girls who love the Egg Song.

String Bag and Sunglasses Case

Kristin — Sat, 24 Jun 2006 23:41:15 +0000

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.
