Latest Finished Projects


My new to me Grandson, Severen, is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fan. Raphael is his favorite so I made this up for him. It's hand knit with Red Heart Sport on size 5 needles. I didn't have a pattern so I just guessed using the Red Heart websites hat pattern chart as a guide, I sure hope it fits. It's too small for me but too big for the baby doll and it measures out for what patterns say should fit a 6 year old kid sooo....

This American Girl sized doll dress was finished up yesterday. It's machine and hand knit with a crochet edge.
I found the instructions to make these beaded earrings at some website online. My beads are a little too large so they are bigger earrings than I wanted, but I wore them anyway. I've ordered some size 11/0 beads to make a couple more pairs, just a more reasonable size. I really enjoyed making them. It's called a Basket Stitch, built from a ladder stitch base. Very fun to do.
