Here is the finished product on the Music Motif. I think the piano border worked out good. I do not think I am going to do another border. I am planning on framing it in one of those frames that are all glass (where the item goes between the glass panels.) Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think : D
Here is the music motif I finished this afternoon, I am working on the border (piano key border) now. If anybody has any ideas on what I can finish the edges with I would like to hear. I thought about scalloped edging but was not sure.
I know this is my knifty knitter blog but I have so many blogs right now it is hard to keep up with each one. So you will have to forgive the lack of knifty knitter items right now, but I did scarves... and everything else last year and now they are all making there own scarves so I had to think of something new. Here is my motif, I have been trying some new crochet items. I am thinking about Christmas gifts now, and I know when Zechariah gets here I will not have any time between taking care of him and Micaiah. Well, If you haven't heard I found out I am having a BOY!!!! His name is Aiden Zechariah, he will go by Zechariah. We are sticking with all prophets for the boys and I get to pick the girl names. I guess my crochet dresses will have to stay packed up or be given as gifts. I have made one more girl item, it is a yellow picot sweater and mary janes. I will probably hold off on making any more girl clothes unless I have a gift to get ready for but I knew if I was having a girl I would not want to work on Christmas gifts. I am working on another crochet project I will post it when I am finished with it. But anyways here is the motif and the baby sweater and mary janes. Hope you enjoy.
Well I have been working on some projects and finished them wanted to share them with you all. For those who know I am expecting (we do not know the sex of the baby yet, I just wanted to try something different from scarves and hats.) The peach dress I started last night and finished this morning, it worked up very fast. The pattern had a white/cream dress with the ruffle collar a different color. It is suppose to fit a newborn to a couple months old. The yarn is Bernet baby yarn. The green ribbon was all I had that some what matched the peach I am wanting to get some peach ribbon to go in for the belt. Here is the pattern: http://www.buttonspecialties.com/pdfs/Baby%20Dress.pdf
The purple dress I was practicing on, I crochet really tight so I went up 2 sizes on my needle, but with this yarn it does not pull as tight as the other so I could have used the needle they called for. I have added a ribbon tie on the dress to bring in the sides a little so it is a little more fitted. The yarn used on this is the baby bee baby chenille. I really liked working with this yarn, I just wish it was not so expensive. Please let me know what you think of the dresses. Here is the pattern: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Daniel/My%20Documents/Lauren/crochet/dresses/ruffledbabydress.html
Well I found this sweater on someone else's blog and asked where she got the pattern so she sent it to me and here is mine!!! I am so happy with it. This is my first clothing item that was crochet. Here is the pattern if anybody else wants to try the pattern. http://www.sandiangels.com/pattern-page.html All I need to add is a button closer on the front.
And thanks again to Jennifer for the showing me and helping me on this pattern :D!!!
Sorry it has been so long since I have posted, I found out in January that I was expecting :p and I have been really sick with this pregnancy. The morning sickness is finally starting to go away!!! I am hoping to buy some more yarn and start back knitting items. There has been a lot of neat things being made, and I am ready to start making baby clothes and start working on Christmas gifts. So I am still here so hopefully soon I will start knitting again. Lauren
I started this patten earlier this afternoon and just now finished it. I used the blue round loom, the yarn is yarn bee infatuation pale jade. I did the e-wrap stitch all the way through it and then put a ribbon in to tie it off. This was the first time I have attempted to make my own pattern. I am very pleased with how it turned out :D. Let me know what you think. Also soon I will have some of my purses on Isela site, she will post them for me. Thank you again Isela!!! Give me a week or two before you start looking I have to get some made up. I will give more detail later. Lauren
