Latest Projects





This cable scarf is giving me the fits. It curls. I blocked it and it still curls, then I steamed it and believe it or not is still curls. I think maybe there isn't enough reversed stockinette between the cable and the border**since that is where it curls.







This is a cuddles done in Lamb's Pride WW. The drape is so nice that I may do a baby blanket using this stitch. Who knows??

First Wrist Warmers



A baby hat among my first fingerless gloves or wrist warmers as they are sometimes called.

These are made with Brown Sheep cotton fleece and are soft and warm. The hat is going to Loves Cozy closet.

The gloves in the forefront are black (believe it or not) and they are for a co worker to wear under her motorcycle gloves for added protection. I was happy to do this for her. The purple (yep that is purple) are mine and the first pair I made.

These are crocheted with the half double crochet and it very easy. This pattern can be modified easily for different size hands.

****************Something new

I really like the colors in this cloth. Now don't ask me what it is. This yarn just showed up at my house one day. Thank you













This is my first pair of toddler socks. I did them on 1 circular needle. The magic loop method. I will be doing more like this.
I like the double points also but I do not care for using 2 circs. Just wanted to share my opinion


Socks going to Loves Cozy Closet for distribution







First mesh bag done with Bernat handicrafter cotton. It worked up very nicely. This will be going to Loves Cozy Closet for distribution.


Must continue to say that LovesManyCloths is the best group on the net.

**************Some of my Stash




I was asked to show some of my stash so here it is. The top is my working area where I keep some yarn and of course projects. On the arm of the chair is my big Cuddles, this one is for a dog. The next one is my box of mainly cotton yarn to be used mainly for cloths and at the bottom left is it box of donations that I just received from Brown Sheep Co. I just love their yarn and the company has really blessed our group. The white and natural is from Elmore Pisgah which makes the peaches and cream yarn. We are so blessed to have yarn companies provide us with donations.

The Brown Sheep is Lamb's Pride and it is mill end but looks like firsts. Under all this pink is some gold, orange and yellow.

***************Finished the bear blanket



This was really easy but it still took me a while to make. I kept looking at it and it said "please finish me" So I finally did. I had no pattern except for the bear. Did 4 of those and with Peggy's advice just did the rest of the blocks in double crochet with a made up border. I usually always need to use a pattern so I am really proud of this one. It is being sent to All Childrens Hospital in St Petersburg FL.

Come join us in the Loves House. Rooms have been added and we would love to have your able hands to help. Link is on my blog.

ONE OF OUR SHELTERS


This is a pic of "Alex" lying on one of our Cuddles. We now have 4 animal shelter/rescue shelters for which we are making Cuddles. Three are in MI and one is in the FL panhandle.
This project will keep me plenty busy as I am part owner in this group. This is my baby but we never stop making cloths. As I have said before: LovesManyCloths is the best group on the Internet. Loves is the main "house"; we now have the Nursery - Hugg_ablesbyLoves and now the Sun Room - CuddlesforPetsbyLovesManyCloths. Be watching because I am sure more rooms will be added to the "house"

Loves New Room


We have added a new room to our main house "LovesManyCloths". It is the Sun Room and in it we house our furry babies. We make for them Cuddles, blankets for furry babies waiting to be adopted. They can be made from just about any yarn as long as there are no holes that little feet can get caught in. You can knit, crochet, loom (if tight) or quilt Cuddles for those furry babies in shelters. Here is a pic of Lucy testing one.

Please feel free to join the best group on yahoo:
