Steph modeling Patti's scarf

Connie's basket 

Home again

Spent a long weekend with my friend Patti in Georgia. This was the first face to face meeting we have had. We had a great time visiting LYS, looking through her patterns, making some beaded stitch markers. She also showed me how to use my drop spindle. I now have a 5yd skein of my own hand spun yarn. Not the most professional but it is mine and it will get better with practice.
Patti made a scarf for Stephanie and picked the perfect color for her (light green). She also sent some crochet slippers for Ejvind and Tom.
We had such a good time we are already talking about the next trip, maybe this summer.

Connie's basket

Well Connie got her basket last week so now I can post a picture of it. I use 3 stands of cotton yarn in greens and yellow. It is a Frugal House pattern and took me about 5 days to make it. I had also included a dish cloth with the FL state shape on it.

Steph's hat 

Steph's hat

Finished a hat for Steph last night, started it the night before. She had seen this hat in the movie "School of Rock" She showed it to me and asked me if I could make her one. It was basicly a skully with a pompom tassell on the end. Found a simple pattern for a hat in "Stitch and Bitch" and just improvised with the tassell.
