Baby Headband

I received a crochet newsletter. Looking it over, I clicked a link and one click led to another. I've been looking for a good baby headband pattern and finally found one here http://just-crochet.blogspot.com/

Here are pictures of my work so far. I really like this pattern and hope to make several for friends with baby girls this spring!

Wednesday WIP - Fleur de lis

I'm working to change a pattern someone shared with me to make a pattern to match someone's decor. I know it's difficult to see and it's a bit crooked but this is my first attempt at trying to match in actual stitches what I've drawn.

Now to figure out how to get it straight enough and write the actual pattern so I can work it without having to rethink things. One thing that made my project different from the original is that I chained 1 and turned on each end which means every other row was worked sort of backwards. The original calls for leaving a tail on each end so you have fringe when you have completed the work. I can see the benefit to working it all one directions. ;)

I would love for you to participate in the Wednesday Work In Progress posts - it doesn't matter what you are working on, anything is game. Just click Rosie's picture below and join us!

Hexagonal Blanket

A friend was speaking of some scrap yarn she had and what could be done with it. We were sitting together freezing while waiting on our children to finish band practice and I found a pattern that would look good with either planned colors or just using up whatever you have sitting around. Here is the beginning of my blanket.

Not sure yet how large I'll make it or how long it will take since I'm using scraps and also have several other projects in the works. ;)
