October blankets

This is a sweater I made with the remaining baby green then I used Red Heart Aran.

It's really about a size 6 or 7 but my little guy squeezed into it.

Certain family members thought the proportions of the sweater looked odd. You can always turn up the cuffs if they are too long but you can't make short cuffs longer.

It's the first sweater I have made in a while so it was a little wacky looking, but it still works!!

This is a baby blanket I made for a friend to give to her friend.

This is a rectangular prayer shawl I made. Nobody from church wanted to use this yarn. And someone had started working with this yarn. Must have decided they didn't like it, so I finally chose it. It took a while to actually bring the yarn home and everytime I looked in the cupboard at church it was still there.

It's made with Lion Brand Polarspun in Tutti Fruity.

This is a cotton shawl I made. I think I used Patons cotton yarn. It's really pretty and a bit heavier than my usual acrylic shawls.

I finished this yesterday. It's a blanket for a family that just adopted a little boy and the room is a sports theme. Boston teams were mentioned so I thought Red and white would be good.

It's made with Homespun Candy Apple and Hepplewhite. I think it's pretty. The red is one of my favorite colors and the white is really white.

It measures 29 inches wide and 40 inches long.

It's good to be crocheting again!!!

This isn't really a blanket. But it is October!!

This is a prayer shawl, and it is folded for the picture.

I love this color, it's one of my favorites but of course it doesn't look so great in the picture I took. It's all in the lighting.

This is made with Red Heart Light and Lofty yarn and it is very similar to Homespun. I got this yarn from the church where the prayer shawl ministry is. Someone had started working with it and decided not to continue. It is difficult to work with if you haven't used this type of yarn before. It's much more bulky than normal yarn and generally you need to use a bigger hook, or needles if you are knitting with it. Lots of people on my crochet board do not like this type of yarn. I do like it. That's why I use it so much!

The color is Wine and this piece is 26 inches wide and 63 inches long. I could have made it narrower but it still works as a shawl!
