Karisma Skirt

I found a wonderful local yarn shop in Lakewood Ohio to supply me with the yarn I need for this pattern: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/pattern.php?id=4146&lang=en.

I had to go with slightly different colors and yarn and the ladies there helped me to choose what I needed :)

Of course I'll post a picture of my completed skirt once I finish it!

Granny Square Baby Blanket

Finished!

I used a basic edging of sc, dc, tc, dc, sc around and used a sc to put them together.

Here is one picture. The rest can be found under my Ravelry profile: crochetdragon.

Baby Blanket Progress

Next row done. The third row on the squares. I have also decided that I am only making 9 squares. Twenty is too many to put together. :) Slow going since Christmas is here. But I will get it done and send it to her.

Two more squares...

Now there are four squares. My plan is to make 20 squares this size (to start). After I make these 20 squares, I will add two rows to each square alternating colors.Maybe not this many rows, depending on how big it gets and how much yarn I have (it is only a baby blanket and I have a tendency to make baby blankets too big) but this is the basic idea:

Beginning of Granny Square Baby Blanket

These are the beginning squares of the baby blanket I am making for my sister so she can give it to her friend. I am using Palatte 024/219 Baby Yarn in Snow Bunny and Boy Blue. It's super soft!

Granny Square Blanket

Here at last is the quick "granny square" I made for Brandi. I debated so long over using the other pattern, that by the time I started, I was way behind. I was not going to finish in 3 weeks. I don't have the time. So I chose to do something simple that would go quickly. She was having a boy (obviously by the colors in the blanket) and it didn't need to be frilly. So here it is:

They are separate pictures. I tried to get a slightly different angle. The other thing I noticed is that it wasn't "square". The edges had a slight curve. I'm sure it has something to do with my tension, but it was the same throughout so it came out okay.

Also, a couple of weeks ago, I asked Robyn to come over and help me with my hair. I chose red and black. I did the back underneath in the black and the rest red. I ended up having some black left over and Ashley has been begging me to color her hair black. I have been against it. NOT HER WHOLE HEAD!!!So we did her tips black. It turned out pretty good. It looks kind of neat. Mine too when I have my hair in a ponytail. Now I just wish it would grow. Grow Dammit!

Granny Square Purse

This project was in between a couple of the hats I made. I got burned out at doing the hats and needed a change. So, I made myself a purse. I kind of made the squares as I needed them and when it came time to put them together, I chose the single crochet. The slip stitch or whipstitch did not really look good when completed so I yanked it out and started putting them together again.
