What a lovely green idea!  Use old plastic shopping bags to make a new reusable durable bag!

In July our friend Monie visited and we spent way too much time with yarn.  This resulted in a resurgence of interest in crochet and a new interest in knitting (she hadn't know how before).

Monie has graciously agreed to allow me to showcase some of her recent work here as she's become quite prolific in the past two months!

First, here's a knit project proving that I really was successful in passing on enough of the basics to get her started (in the round no less!):

Regarding this project Miss Monie says "Making round things is fun!"  She also goes on to mention that this isn't exactly the best train/bus travel project and thinks next time she'll use circular needles instead of worrying about poking passengers' eyes out!

"The Last Knit"

How many of us can relate to this?  Notice at the very end how she just transfers her obsession to the scissors (like so many of us do from crochet to knitting or vice versa!)

John Paul's Head Band.

My friend's son, John Paul, has asked me to make him a head band in red and black. So I got this yarn from his mother, who had it already to make for him. John Paul said she was taking too long to make it for him so I went ahead and stepped up to plate and made it for him. Here he is showing it off for you blog readers out there.

Patterns for Traveling Scarf

So with my knitting/crochet group we are making a traveling scarf where we each make a square part of the scarf and then we pass it to the next person as we obtain a new square and just add to that. So these are two squares I have done, I have decided to use the slant one, although, I have to fix it. I need to make a bit loser to make it 5" X 4" long. Tell me what ya'll think.

This is my own personal made up pattern (well I am sure someone has it out there, but I did think of it on my own and put it to good use.)

Fatty Patty's Sweater.

Ok so mom has been bugging me to make the dogs a sweater so this was my first attempt hope you like it. I used a peach yarn and just did the pattern and sizing as I went I had to grab the poor dog a million times just to do the measurements correctly. Here is the outcome.

Afghan or Bust.

So I have been making this Afghan for a while now and I have finally dusted it off and finished it. It's very simple with no fringes or border. It's just the regular knitting pattern. I wanted something for me and loved these colors together. Hope you like it.

Finally!!!!
