Crochet Me Crazy

I have a few ends left to weave in but otherwise I'm done with it. I LOVE this blanket! I hope my friend will like it as much as I do. I definately will be using this pattern again in the future.

Well, its been a busy week but I've managed to get some crocheting in every night.

Here's the progress so far on the next baby blanket gift I've started. It's a great pattern by Annie Potter from a pattern book called Pineapple Princess Baby Set. I've never made one of her patterns before but I'm sold after this one. I thought it might be a little difficult but its a superbly written pattern. I might even have the confidence to attempt the dress that goes with this dress!



Alison dressed her beautiful doll in the baby set I just finished. This doll is a German Gotz doll with real human hair that she got for Christmas last year. She takes this doll with us and every time we go out with her, we have people think she is a real baby.

I've used this free pattern for bibs many times but I'm particulary pleased with the way this one turned out mainly because of the colors. I've mainly done them in varigated cotton before. I plan on making at least one more of these. This is the beginning of the next baby gift I'm making for another baby girl.

I was so excited because they never seem to have their yarn marked down very low even when its on clearance but today I got a whole load of yarn for 59 Cents each! I'm planning on trying to head down to a different Hobby Lobby when I can find time this week to see they have any. I have NO IDEA where I'm going to store all this yarn! A lot of this is the bulkier, soft Yarn Bee brand yarns that are normally $5-$6 a ball. I guess I'm going to have to make some hat/scarf sets. I'm not sure what much else you can use this bulky yarn for? Ideas welcomed.

I made this for my neighbor who's having a little girl in December. I've got to get busy starting on another set for another friend who's having a baby girl as well in February. Tonight I got started on a a tried and true bib pattern I've made before. Pretty much finished but have about another round of trim to go on it.
