Teddy Bear Cuddle Sack


I saw this picture of a grafted teddy bear and though I could duplicate it. So I crocheted it into a cuddle sack. I don't take credit of the grafting of the bear. I don't know who designed the graft.

Another Round Ripple Baby Blanket


I finished up this round ripple baby blanket tonight. It went very fast. I used 2 strands of the Universal Bella DK yarn held together with an I hook. It measures about 40 inches from point across to point.

X's and O's Baby Blanket


I finished up this X and O mint green baby blanket last night. I struggled for 3 days to graft the x and 0 design, then frogged and refrogged many times before getting it to come out like I wanted. I have not written the pattern yet. Frank and Marie think I should sell it on Ebay to make money to buy more yarn. I know I put a lot of work into this one.

Magic Ball Afghan finelly finished!


I finally finished this afghan made from a magic ball of yarn. I started it last fall. I was going to donate it, but dear daughter decided she wanted it and she wanted it 72" long. I have been working on it Tuesday and Wednesday nights while watching American Idol, the only tv show I watch every week. I will be starting another afghan soon as I have several magic balls to use up.
