Crochet By Day...Knitter By Night

I hope to share my crochet and knitting projects along with any other crafts I may pursue. Mostly I knit and crochet for my six year old granddaughter and my dogs plus incidental houselold items. Occasionally I do Cross Stitch and Plastic Canvas work.

Bernat Easy Poncho finally finished.



Finally finished this project a week ago this past Thursday night and sewed it together on Friday and Saturday.

Now, I've moved on to the Strawberry Fields matching sweater and skirt set for GD and an 18 inch doll for Christmas. It's so wonderful to be working with normal yarn again. Have just knitted the front or back up to the armhole shaping and will be working on the other front or back up to the same armhole shaping. Remember I'm knitting both sides on two sets of needles...the way I should have done with the poncho in the first place.

Also, am refreshing my memory with crocheted doilies. Actually, I don't remember having made doilies before. I've started with a few coaster size doilies. I'm also learning to do filet crochet...think I'm getting hooked after having completed a sample with the letter A.

I haven't forgotten my other WIPs - the tube socks and the crocheted tie front vest. It's still a little too warm to resume the vest project.

Granddaughter visited today and received her poncho.
