I have been busy making 2 scarves for a young friend.I made one in purple,using the diagonal stitch and one in bright green and hot pink stripes.Both are 3"x120",which was quite long to make.I am having a tough time closing the slouchy beanie ,at the end,which is in light yellow.I have made two rows of dc,with decreasing sts,and a row of sc and then made the closure.I hope she likes it.
i have completed a baby blanket,in variegated candy shades yarn,which i received as a gift from my secret santa.I have also made 2 small doilies ,in variegated shades of pink,green and yellow,for a friend.I hope to make a bigger doily,for her.Now i started a\ the snowflake cape in white,for a friend,whose baby is due ,this month.Yesterday,my cousin asked me to make some clothes for the AG doll,for her grand daughter.I love making ,doll clothes.I am off to hunt for patterns.
