The striped set is with leftover bits of other yarn. I'm pretty sure the lavender at the tips is Simply Soft but I h ave no idea what the rest of it is. All I know is that it is acrylic.

Knitted scarves

Here are 2 scarves I made. The first one with the horizontal stripes I just finished last night. It is knitted with Fantasy Naturale Yarn which is 100% cotton. It is to be donated to the Knitz 4 Vetz sponsored by The Knit With store in Pennsylvania. The second scarf is knitted using the mistake rib pattern. I believe I used mostly Vanna's Choice Yarn and Michael's Impeccable Yarn. One reason for this scarf is to use up leftover bits of yarn and the other reason for making this scarf is because I thought it would look nice.

Mr. Sandman costume

This costume is for a ballet. They dance to "Mr. Sandman."

Swimming Hole costume

This is for a tap dance. The song they are dancing to is "Swimming Hole." The straps are tied in bows at the shoulders. It is hard to tie them when the child is not wearing it. The other large bow is for the back of the head. It will be attached to a hair clip or barrette.

You Are My Sunshine costume

This costume is for a ballet dance. They are dancing to "You Are My Sunshine." The headpiece is a ruffle across the top of the head with sequin braid down the center of the ruffle. It is glued onto a headband so it can quickly be put on.

Yellow Polka Dot costume

This is the first costume finished for this year's dancing revue. This is for a tap dance. They are dancing to "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini." I couldn't find yellow satin with polka dots so I made my own polka dots out of black satin and ironed them on. The yellow dots have interfacing ironed onto the back so they won't ravel and they won't be too flimsy.

Baby Hat & Booties

Another crocheted pink baby hat and booties. This one is a bonnet with white ribbon ties.

These are crocheted color sorting, stacking, and nesting bowls. I got the pattern here: http://www.seriouslydaisies.com/2012/11/crochet-pattern-rainbow-nesting-bowls.html
It can also be found on Ravelry.

Pink ribbed crocheted baby hat and booties. The booties each have 3 tiny white flowers across the front.

These are crocheted potholders. I don't actually use them, they just hang on the wall.

Crocheted flowers to put on hair clips, head bands, or pins. I like to put the pins on my purses.

This is a baby afghan I made. It is made with Simply Soft yarn. It matches the Christening Bonnet.

This is a broomstick lace scarf I just finished. I used 1 skein of Universal Yarn Classic Shades. The color is called Roman Candle. It is 70% acrylic and 30% wool. I used a size K crochet hook and a size 50 knitting needle. It is 20 stitches across. 5 stitches in each group. I found a You Tube video with instructions on how to do this. There are a lot of videos and they all looked basically the same.

These are 2 more scarves I made for Knitz 4 Vetz. They are made with Cascade Superwash 220. One striped and one with the pattern called "The Road Scarf". 

I got this really cute polka dot fleece at JoAnn's on sale the day after Thanksgiving. I made the holes with the skip-stitch rotary blade, then put the crocheted edge on it. This one is for the St. Ann Sewing Seams of Faith group. I got enough fleece to make another one for a Christmas gift.

This is the sweater I knitted for Gybsen for Christmas. I used Cotton Ease yarn and I got the pattern from here http://www.worldvision.org/content.nsf/getinvolved/knit-for-kids?Open&lpos=ctr_txt_knit-for-kids

I chose Cotton Ease yarn because I didn't want it to be too hot. I did have to use a smaller needle size, probably because of the yarn I was using. I added a bit to the sleeves. After I sewed the top seams together I knitted across the ends of the sleeves for 12 rows then I switched colors and put a ribbed cuff the same number of rows as the ribbed part on the bottom. Then sewed up the sides and arms and Voila!
