November Crocheting

November is my birthday month and I was celebrating a special birthday.

For my actual birthday I decided to wear a green dress.  I had been collecting this green yarn for the past few years to create a sweater.  I had never made the sweater so  I decided that I would use the green yarn for the dress. It would be special since I had never made a green dress before.







The birthday partywas the following weekend in December  and I  needed a second dress for the party.  The colors were red, blue and gold.  I chose red to wear.  I went into my red yarn stash and found that I had silk type yarn and a merino wool yarn that worked perfectly with the additional red glitterspun (Lion Brand) and  (yes, I still had some) and added a ruffle yarn at the bottom.

I created two blankets that I gave away as raffle prizes.

The first Blanket was made with Lion Brand Homespun yarn in various colors.  Most of the squares had been done in the past and I just connected them to make this blanket because I love this yarn so much.

The second blanket was made using Tapestry Crochet.  I took a scene from a cross stitch book because I love tapestry crochet.



The birthday party was Saturday and on Sunday I had a baby shower to attend.
I created this blanket with a teddy bear head using granny squares as the base. This was the first time, that I created this type of blanket.
