Getting Crafty

For a while now I have been unable to do any sewing because I didn't have a proper workspace. Alas, good fortune! I have been gifted a desk by a good family friend. Now I just have to clean up my sewing machine :-)

Finishing Projects

First day school free and it's time to wrap up a few projects.

Over the last year I've completed  dozens of crochet projects. However, there are always a few that never get completed.  Today I finally got around to giving them the attention they need. Maybe I can start whittling down my yarn stash!

Ripple Stitch

Based on a pattern found in "Quilts & Afghans from McCall's  Needlework & Crafts"

This one I'm still trying to piece together a pattern I'm happy with. It's a variation on the Lucky Shamrock pattern from Red Heart Yarns. Instead of being green and white, I used claret, buff fleck, and a green that I think is medium thyme.
