Latest, Great WIP

Here's a look at what I'm working on. I can't tell you what it is or who it is for because it's a surprise!

  


I love these colors; they're a bit reminiscent of the 70s. This yarn came out of my stash so I was a good girl and didn't go and buy more. I've stepped up my crocheting lately. Thought the rush was over after Christmas but I wanted to make things to take to my friends on a trip I'm taking next month.

The weather this winter is crazy, very mild for us so far but this week the temperatures are supposed to dip into the single digits at night. All I can say about that is I'll be keeping the coffee pot full and hot chocolate handy too.

Take care, and stay warm.


I Finished a Few Things--

Here are a few things I finished up yesterday. Links for patterns on the bottom of the post.
A pair of slippers for a man made out of camo and brown yarns:



Here's a dishcloth. It's in my gift drawer now so if you need one, you can come over, have a cuppa joe and receive this dishcloth just for visiting   :


Here's a scarf. I've used this pattern before. I used Lion Suede Yarn, and that is a thicker yarn than the pattern calls for but I like it for this scarf. This is not a free pattern but you should be able to purchase this pattern online from various vendors. This pattern may look complicated but it is very simple to do once you've finished the first pineapple. Here's a pic:
