USMC Graph Ghan


This measures 57 by 46 inches, and the final row of the border is a reverse single crochet. It's a gift for a proud family and I was honored to make it for them.

Baby Round Ripple


This is for someone going through a very hard time. I only know of her, but do know that she's waiting for her unborn baby boy to arrive and I'm hoping this blanket gives her some hope and encouragement.
It's light blue and white - taking a picture indoors isn't always the best.

Here is a toddler sized hooded poncho...modeled by my Vermont Teddy Bear.

Two More Blankets for Fisher House



The browns and blues turned out bigger than I thought it would. It can cover a twin bed...LOL! The Round Ripple is about 42 inches across and suitable for either a lapghan or a child.

My Furbabies




Just wanted to post these pics. Susie (the smallish GSD) just turned 11 years old this month. She has different health issues, but nothing major, tg, thanks to great medical care from her vet. Sparkie, the big, dark "moose", will be 4 years old in December. They love their rawhide bones, which are treats only given to them when we sit outside too.

This is going to Fisher House at Ft. Bragg, NC, where families stay while their military family member is being treated at the hospital there.

Another Set of Potholders



Again, strictly decorative, since they're made of acrylic. They could, however, probably be used on a table as a trivet for something that isn't straight off the stove (but using the plain back to be safe).

8 inch square


I made this for a swap. It's square pattern #65 from the book 101 Crochet Squares by Jean Leinhauser.
I used a G hook; colors are: Coffee Brown, Cornmeal, Woodsy (variegated). All are Red Heart Super Saver yarn. The only deviation I made from the pattern was to change the color sequence at the end and make the last round HDC instead of SC, to get it to size.
