Crochet Paradise

This is from 40 Favorite Ripple Afghans.  I was looking to make a baby ripple for fair that I could use some of my stash to make.  This was the perfect pattern to do it with.  I did add an extra color, and I added 1 row of white sc border instead of the fringe pattern called for.

From an old Annie’s Favorite Crochet, this pattern worked up quick.  I did make a few changes to the pattern, including opting to do buttons on the back instead of the velcro.  Eventually I’ll find someone to give it too after fair season is over.

This started out as the Spring Flower Cardigan that was on Annie’s Attic daily pattern.  I ran out of the yarn and didn’t have enough to do the sleeves, so I turned it into a vest.  I used some boa yarn for the borders.  I’m sure my granddaughter will still like it, even though I couldn’t use her colors for a sweater.

This is just a simple box stitch for the body of the carriage robe.  I used double strand of  Rainbow Sensations Brush acrylic for the center.  The border is sc, and shell stitch and picot with 1 strand of rainbow sensations and 1 strand of Bernat Boa.

I finished the coat 2 weeks ago, and finally got around to getting the buttons on it, and my DH took a pic tonight.  Nothing like a pic with your pjs on.  The other is a baby set that works up in under 8 hrs.  The sweater set didn’t have booties so I came up with my own to match.
