I've seen the 'feather and fan' pattern, but I'm glad I finally found it on a scale I could use. A sweet baby hat made from some wonderful natural cotton. I actually crochet the bottom edge and ties. My crochet skills are embarrassing at best, but I am pleased with how this turned out. I have been eyeing yarn for baby hats like crazy. I have 2 more half done even.
Must finish within the next 2 weeks!! I am trying to force myself to complete a couple of things each day from my undone list. So far, so good!

A couple of ballet bags for some little girlies. They are each a bit different, to suit the owner. The front polka dot fabric matches the lining and the front is also a pocket with the proper initial. I love making bags and using them, I just do not like to iron on the interfacing- if fabric came pre-interfaced, I'd make bags every week.

Hard to see, but I didn't have a model available that would stop playing long enough for a shot. This is a hooded towel. I made one very similar long ago but at the time it was way too big. When I dug out every last bit of fabric I could find, I found the towel and hand towel that I never made up. Went together in about 5 minutes and it is no longer too big. Funny how fast they grow.

Another infant soaker sack. This is a yarn dyed by me long ago. It is very obvious where I changed needle brands towards the bottom. I really like those Addi Turbos! I just don't have any of my own. Thank you to a very kind Marilyn for letting me borrow hers for a hat project! I may finish the hat and try to squeeze in one more of these sacks before I return them.

This year's birthday skirt is horses. She picked out the horse fabric and I had to find a way to make it cute. It reminds her of horseback riding lessons. I ran out of some fabric so the waist fits just perfectly, not too twirly.
*it took me 3 shots with the camera to figure out what that round thing blocking the corner of the picture was-my belly sticks out farther than I thought.

While in Denver, we found the cutest yarn shop! Unfortunately, it was going out of business due to health issues. What a loss for that community! However, I did find a few single skeins of some gorgeous cotton! The picture does not show the luscious softness and subtle color variegation. Since it was only one skein, I knitted this blanket up 2 times in a rectangle shape before trying this third attempt at a square. It is small, but I will use it happily in our warm climate. Now, what to do with the same yarn in pink?

Dolly Sarah has a new outfit. It is a bit big on her, the elastic around the legs is not as tight as I'd like, but I think she likes it. By the way, her left arm is tearing off at the rubber join. If anyone has an extra arm, I'd be forever indebted to you! I'd also be willing to trade for nearly anything I can make.
