Packers Home Opener

Eric and I attended the home opener on Sept 8 against the Vikings. It was a great win!

Heart shawl

This was one of the free patterns offered a few days ago and I fell in love with it. I happened to have the right kind of yarn on hand, so did it up in the last 2 days. I love it. Hmmm....maybe someone will get it in a shawl exchange ?

My first free form project

This is my first ever attempt at free form crochet. I was not confident enough to just make a purse out of all the little pieces so I crocheted a bag and then sewed the free form pieces onto it. I just have to add handles (purchased) and it will be done. My daughter fell in love with it and tried to take it home!

Finished sweater

This is the finished sweater. Thanks to hints from the gathering room gals, I was able to sew the seams and it looks OK. This is my first sweater project and I am pleased with the way it turned out. I am ready to start another one!

Yard sale yarn hubby found

This is the yarn that hubby found for me at a garage sale. Mostly new stuff valued at up to 14.99 per! Eyelash, ribbon, cashmere, chenille, you name it. We figured there was almost $500 worth of stuff he got!! What a guy!!

Sweater project

This is the sweater in progress. I am having a difficult time figuring out how to join the sweater together as everything I have tried so far shows the stitches really badly. Any help out there?
