Lapsquare Modified, etc

I had a dream the other night that I had to put a border on the lapgsquare. I woke up with the shell pattern repeating in my head, lol! So, here it is completed! I'm so glad that I did. I think it looks so much better! :)

I also made another Friendship square! Yes, it's the Espresso in hunter green, lol!

Have a great day!!!!

Some things for Compassionate Creations

Here are a few things I've done recently for Compassionate Creations. The wristwarmers are just either dc or hdc and done to fit my wrist,lol! I debated whether or not to post the pic of the lapsquare. It really doesn't look very good in the picture, but it is actually pretty! I made it with RHSS Frosty green and Artist Print held together. It's approx. 23x25. It should soften up nicely in the wash! The scarf is the only one that has a pattern for it. I got it off of Ravelry. It's called the Shelly Scarf by Robyn Stambaugh. It was very easy and quick to make! :) I used TLC Lustre claret and it is so soft!

More Squares and a Scarf!

I've done it! I've finished my SAL Friendship Squares!!!! At least I'm caught up, lol! :) That's a huge weight off my mind! I've also made a scarf for Compassionate Creations this morning! I'm really behind on those, so better get going now that I'm done with the squares! I love the Espresso sq because it looks so pretty with so many different color combinations! Hope the ladies don't mind that a lot of them got the same pattern. I, also, have found the V stitch square which is very nice! The scarf is my own pattern. I works up very quickly. This time I used Bernat Softee Chunky in soft antique rose. It's so soft!

Kids Hat!

I just realized that I never showed you the kids hat I made, LOL! It's for a friend's charity on C'ville. I'll be making some kids hats/scarves over the summer for her.

Lots of Squares!

My hooks have been a blazin', LOL! I'm trying desperately to get caught up on my SAL Friendship sqs! I'm about half way there I think! :) I'm having lots of fun making these sqs. You'll see a lot of the same pattern repeated, but that's just because I LOVE these patterns so much! I have tried to "expand my horizans" some though! I've also made a simple DC/HDC kids scarf to match the hat that I made last week. And I made my BIL a couple of bath mitts. He has very poor manual dexterity and I've found that using a simple mitten pattern works great for him!

Scarves and Squares

These are a few more quick scarves I've made for Compassionate Creations this week!

Here are some wristbands too! :)

Here are some Friendship squares that I've been working on for the SAL over on the SKY CAL at C'ville. I'm having a lot of fun, but I'm soooo far behind! LOL! Hope the ladies like them! I used a lot of the same pattern because, well, I have that one pretty well down and it comes out well for me, lol! I did try new patterns though! :) I used Pavo, Espresso, and On the Road Again

WooHoo! Another Scarf Done!

I've been working on a special scarf project called the Stained Glass Motif this week. I joined the Sky CAL over on the 'ville last week and the project of the month is stained glass! Well, since I started so late in the month and all those ladies are working on a much bigger project, there is NO WAY I could catch up, lol! I saw this pattern for this afghan made in strips and thought that one strip would make a pretty scarf! :) Now, if you know me, I usually run from doing motifs, LOL! But I really enjoyed making this scarf! I found the pattern in the All American crochet Afghan book. The pattern is by Tammy Hildebrand. Hope you like! :)

I'm Baaaacccckkkk!!!!!! LOL!

Sorry that I've been MIA! I just haven't felt like blogging lately :( I did have my gallbladder surgery in March and it went really well! I NO LONGER have THAT pain. YAY!!! I did, however, end up with pneumonia after the surgery which really knocked me on my feet and I have had a hard time getting back up since. I'm still running a higher than normal temp every day and just feeling exhausted! I'll be going to a rheumatologist for some testing soon.
On the crocheting front, I didn't get much done for a while, but I have recently started getting my groove back, lol! It's about time! :)

Here are five scarves I made for Compassionate Creations. The middle one is a free pattern from the lionbrand site called the waffle stitch scarf.

A Quick Post Before Surgery!

Well it is National Crochet Month, so I figured I'd better post at least twice this month, lol! I've made a few scarves in the past couple of days, so thought I'd post them. Nothing fancy, just simple things, but they keep me busy and my mind off the upcoming surgery! I made a few sqs too for a sick little baby in England. One of the ladies on Crochetville is making a comfortghan for her. Sure wish I could do more, but I did what I could. Seems like I've been making a LOT of sqs for comfortghans lately! Lots of folks needing hugs and prayers.
Well, here are the pics! I'll have more next week. I have yarn and hooks packed for the hospital, lol!

Getting Caught Up!

Well, since I'm such a terrible blogger, I'm going to just post a ton of pics of what I've been up to lately, lol! I have had a few things going on, one of them being having a new granddaughter being born!!! Yes, you will see a pic of her too! :) Ashlyn was born on March 26th!

It seems that I'm been making a lot of squares for comfortghans lately, so you'll see a few of those. I also managed a couple of blankets! Of course, there are some scarves for Compassionate Creations! My really goods news is that Compassionate Creations was chosen as the charity of the month for March for Crochetville's Community Ad Grants Program! We have a banner ad running all month for free! Thank you Amy and Donna!

Since I'm not here much, you might not miss me, lol, but I won't be here for a few days. I'm having surgery next week. Time to have this painful gallbladder out! Hopefully it will take away one pain. The gastroparesis has been getting worse, so one less pain will be good! :)

Ok on to the pics! Sorry for not including any patterns. If you want to know, just ask and I'll try to figure it out, lol!
