Yipes, Stripes and a few other things...



A finish for DIL who is patiently waiting.  She knows this is being worked on and can't wait.  Well, its been washed and is in the dryer right now and she will receive this tomorrow.  I hope she loves this as much as I did in making it.  The pattern is the Neat Ripple Pattern from Attic 24.  Its a nice soft wavy type ripple, certainly one to be used again (and again). 

Saw this striped night shirt and thought she might enjoy this as well.  The lace embellishment and the hot pink ribbon are just enough.

This sweet granny was seen by dil's sister and she loved it.  I too love the look, especially with the flower in the middle.  There wasn't a pattern but I just started with the flower and then continued into a granny.  So, so easy, so, so cute.  I think maybe one or two more repeats for the finish. 

Finally picking up the thread again after quite some time.  I have joined in with Stitchy McFloss with this doily CAL, isn't it a beauty.  I've just started row 10 out of 33 rows.  Its will be a very nice table topper size.  Just what I was looking for ... thanks, Stitchy! 

Several other afghans in the works.  I love the bouncing from one to the other, keeps it interesting.  And, of course, fickle as the hook is, there are a few more afghans I've discovered that are just waiting to get started.  As soon as the granny is done, one more can be added to the mix.  Now, just to decide which one.  Oh yes, have to add another doily/topper.  Goodness, what an addiction!

Happy Weekend and abundant blessings.

  2. Hi Glor, I'm glad to see that all is well and you continue to create and keep busy with the hook. The ripple and night shirt are lovely gifts. And a granny square is always a pleasure to make as it just flows right along so easily. I knew if anyone could make that doily Vicki posted about it would be you. I would have gotten lost in all those rows. Your work is always lovely. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

  4. Everything is just beautiful Glor. How sweet of you to get her that matching nightgown :) I love how you did the flower in the middle and then made a granny around it, great idea. I have been obsessed with making daisy granny squares lately. The plan is to one day join them all together for a pretty blanket. Have a great weekend.

  5. Oh I love your ripple afghan. Love those colors. Your DIL is so blessed to have you in her life. Of course you are a blessing to everyone who knows you. :)

    Love the progress you are making on the doily. I think I am on row 22 now. I am using the size 20 thread and 1.00mm hook. Not sure I am crazy about the size 20 thread.

    Sending blessings and hugs your way dearest friend.

  11. Beautiful projects! The doily is simply stunning, and you know I'm a big doily fan. Too bad I have a few projects that I must finish, so I can't participate in this CAL. I'd love to see how your doily will turn out.
