Gingham Cowl

Well here is the gingham cowl I made for myself. I am so pleased how it turned out. I sort of used the gingham pattern I used for the baby blanket I crocheted a couple weeks ago. I made it about 61 inches long then connected the two ends. It goes around my neck twice.

After starting this baby blanket over a week ago, I finally finished it this morning. I got side tracted a couple of times when I picked up my knitting needles to see if I could still knit.

Towel Toppers

On May 31st we made a major move to Pa. We have been busy unpacking and getting settled into our new home. I have had no interest in crocheting as I have been so very tired. I decided I wanted to try something new so I watch a video on how to crochet a towel topper. I got these 2 done and now I am ready to start crocheting baby things again.
