Doggie sweaters

Last night I bought yarn off Elann.com to make a doggie sweater for my Dachshund, Charlie. It had to be a sport weight yarn, and the cheapest there was a mix of Alpaca and a synthetic fiber. It should be nice and warm for him. Actually, now I'm jealous. *I* don't have a sweater made of Alpaca. :P

I also finished some fingerless mitts last night in Classic Wool. I can't remember the brand name, but I bought it at Micheal's.

Right now I'm working on a mock cable knit scarf. http://home.earthlink.net/~yvonnefla/id9.html

Yule stuff

Two seasonal FOs, and one non seasonal. The Spike Stitch Pillow Sham I finished a couple of months ago with Bernat Satin yarn. The color is weird in that lighting. It's a dark green, light mint green and off white.
The table center I did with Red Heart Holiday, and the snowman from regular Red Heart. I got the pattern for him off freepatterns.com.

Yule decor

I've put aside other things to hurry up on Yule stuff I'm making. http://www.ilovetocraft.com/crocheting/crocheted-holiday-tablecenter.shtml

I'm also making a snowman candy thing, and a Xmas cat with mice sitting on its tail.

Here is a sachet I knitted. It has a crochet border. The border yarn is much prettier than it looks in the picture. Bleh.

Brrrr

Ha! As usual, I see little projects that I have to do Right Now. My old plastic bag keeper is dark and looking ratty, so I'm making this one: http://bumbles102774.tripod.com/id17.html

I went to mail off my mother's scarf, and realized the mild weather was definitely over. It's as cold as the proverbial witch's tit. So these are next on my list: http://groups.msn.com/HappyHookeraCrochetersParadise/memberpatterns.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=14627

List

I just finished a scarf for my mother that I'm mailing off tomorrow. It's made with Bernat Satin, light green. I also just finished another rasta type hat with a brim. This one came out much better than the first one I did. I like these hats because they hold all my hair, and keep my ears warm.

Still working on Diamond Crochet Tunic from Lionbrand, scrap afghan, flower doily and a knit dishcloth for SIL. I'm also working on a thread motif tablecloth, but it's on again off again. I can't do too much of it at once or I get sick of it.
