Even after the dress, I still have some blue yarn. I gues I will be making a diaper cover or headband. Hope you are enjoying your week :)

Left over Yarn
It's funny how I never have just the right amount of yarn. There is always to much, or not enough and then you have to buy more and end up with left overs anyway. I had some extra Blue left from the Cobble Stitch afghan I just made, so I decided to make this baby dress with it. Pattern for this dress can be found here: http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/angel-wings-pinafore.html

Sand & Water Baby Afghan
Months and MONTHS ago, I wanted to try a different crochet stitch and came accross the "Cobble Stitch" on this blog http://goodtimesithinkso.blogspot.com/2009/09/crochet-cobble-stitch-pattern.html. I wanted the puffs to show better, so I chose to use 2 colors of yarn instead of the 1 shown in the blog picture.
This pattern is extremely easy! All you have to do is chain the length you want in mulitples of 2 and then 2 extra. The first row is just Single Crochet and the second row you SC then TR alternating those 2 stitches to the end of the row. Repeat Rows 1 & 2 until you get your desired height.
Simple...Right? It really is, but I seem to get bored easy with single crochet because it takes forever to reach the desired size. Needless to say, this is one that sat on the end table and I would pick it up here and there and crochet a row or 2 and put it back down. This week, I decided that enough is enough and I just needed to get it off the table and finished it this morning.

Christmas is in the air!
The season is definately changing. It has been raining here for the last few days and it snowed in the mountains (which isn't that far away). Oh how I'm wishing a had a baby girl in the family to spoil with dresses!
This first dress has 100 clear beads on the skirt. It reminds me of snowdrops melting.
I have always loved Red and Black and Cream! I think it is such a rich combination of colors. For a while, that is what my wardrobe mostly consisted of, but luckily, I have branched out.
I wanted some red dresses out for Christmas and noticed the black ribbon in my stash, so Naturally...I couldn't resist.
That was my week's work of crochet. Off to try out a boy's sweater pattern. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
