What's The Big & Little Deal About Cables Cloth

Wow, 2nd Cables Cloth done! This is only my 2nd attempt at cables and I am pleased. Could have been a little better, but I am pleased with it. Hope I did it a little justice Maile!!

This one is also from my new Yahoo Group Cloth of the Week. There is a link in the upper right hand corner of my blog to join it if you would like.

Learning new knitting stitches

I am so proud of myself. At the gentle urging of Beth Z and Maile I did it... I first tried the slip knit thing.... TOO Easy (off white swatch) And then tried the Ellis Cable (Small one and in purple) and viola... Cables. I cannot believe they are that easy. I figured it would be a week or so before I could actually even attempt to do cables!
I didn't have any DPs, so I used a mini orange wood stick from a manicure kit. Don't laugh... it worked!!! You can see it in the picture of the cables.
Thank you so much Beth Z and Maile!

Crocheted Towel Toppers and Pineapple Dishcloths

Some towel toppers and Pineapple dishcloths that were paired up with the Memorial Afghans for Christmas.

And MORE Snow! YUKKKKKKK

Up to a whopping 23 degrees now.... I am NOT liking this at all!!!



Thank goodness it only lasted about a week!!!

4 of the 6 Heart Afghans....

Here are 4 of the 6 Pink Filet Heart Afghans I made in memory of my sister who died November 30. 2008 of complications of a brain Aneurysm. They were presented to Myself, Mom, Sister, Brother, Sisters Best Friend and my daughter. They were made with Red Heart Super Saver Petal Pink #A300, the 2nd pictures shows the color the best.

Wow, snow then froze....

It was a whopping 19 degrees wen these pics were taken and the babies got to play in thier first snow. LAYERS of clothes and gloves and hats, oh my!!!!! lol

Brrrrrrrrr...

4 Layer German Chocolate Cake

The 4 layers are Milk Chocolate cake and the frosting between the layers and on the top are Coconut Pecan and around the edge and outside is Milk Chocolate Frosting. Yum.
My sisters birthday is tomorrow and she loves layer cakes... so, I got it done early in case she wants to sneak down and get a slice at midnight.

Jar Covers

OK... got a pic to post of one of my jar covers actually on a jar. Also a pic with a quart jar cover in it for size comparison. The ones on the left side of the picture are for his taller gallons and have a different color of drawstring row so he can tell the difference without having to get out a ruler or counting the rows every time. I wish I could line all of them up he already has and take a pic of them. It's a lot of jar covers!!! There is no pattern, just rows of DC, that's all.



ADDED PIC:11/19 He sent me a pic of 4 of them

2 taller gallons and 2 gallon jugs. You can see that

the short ones don't fit the taller jugs as well, so I

am making them 2 rows taller.

Hodgepodge hats....

FUN FUN FUN!!! I have made and sold about a half a dozen of these and the kids both have 2 of them. One of the pictures of the whole group of them and Michael in his was corrupted, so I will add them later.
