Finally Some FO's!

Well its been a long time coming with these projects. A couple projects I've been running out of yarn on and spent my time waiting for more to come in, which in waiting I made more projects..lol Trying to keep that hook flying along with catching up which seems to never end, both house wise and Internet wise...lol

First up is one I was waiting for yarn to come only to have to wait for ordering more as I ran out 2 rows shy of finishing. I give you The Magic Shrug.

Its a Lisa Gentry pattern and I actually used the yarn called for it, though I went through more yarn then the pattern stated :)

It is very roomy and nice and comfy warm. I used Moda Dea Sassy Stripes and colorway is "Swish". First time working with this yarn and I love it! Not one split and glides right through your fingers. This shrug will be great on the cool evenings sitting out with the dogs. I had a couple models at work, but no camera and then being home it was the opposite. I had camera but no models...guys weren't too crazy about that idea..lol

I just love Lisa's pattern, they are easy to follow, she uses pictures and shes a sweetheart to bug if you have questions.

I also got back into Hairpin Lace (via Lisa Gentry Ravelry Group). Gosh this is what I first learn watching my mom making Hairpin Lace Afghans. It only took a few minutes and I got into the groove of it again. I did another Lisa Gentry pattern from our group CAL.

Of course I just grabbed what was close by as I wasn't sure if I would get the knack of it again. Just gave me practice as I am in the process of doing Lisa's Hairpin Lace Top (ravelry link) I will be doing a couple of these as I'd like to try one in cotton. I have a bunch of Black & White cotton I'd like to use too.

In between all this I have been doing Peaches & Creme Group on ravelry, Friendship Scarf. A group of 4 and we each start our own scarf and do 2 rows and then pass to the next person on our list.

Here's Kim's scarf, which has 2 more stops yet, as I was the first to add to hers.

Here is Norma's scarf that will get mailed to Chris on Friday. Its been done and just waiting.

I haven't seen mine in awhile so I'm excited to see it. I do believe mine should be at its last stop before coming back home.

In all this crocheting going on I decided to make crochet Cupcakes for a couple Birthdays coming up quickly. Here is the one that will be going out first and I do have a yellow bottom one in the works, it just need the top icing part. I've decided to make these for my dept co-workers. They are alot easier, take up less room and work up quick. Its something they can leave on the desk at work and not be in the way.

I was going through some yarn and I came across some Lion Brand Incredible (ribbon yarn) and thought I'd try my luck at this. Its a cropped Jacket and I thought maybe for my DIL. This is what I have so far...

This is the right & left front pieces and then this is the back...

I have a few more rows to go yet on it and then I have the sleeves to do. It is definitely different crocheting with ribbon, but its alot of fun too.

So this is what I've been up too so far. Now I have to figure out my doggie post..lol So I guess I'll be back again tomorrow with that.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!
