finished projects

i finished the pansy scarf yesterday morning (i started the scarf on wendsday)

here are the flowers close up

remember this ball from a couple posts ago?

i ended up making a blanket at the time i started i didnt know how to do anything else

before i finished i had taken the crocheting classes so around the edges i did a double crotchet stitch & made corners normally i would just do the single crochet stitch around & the corners would be round now that i know how to make squares i made these corners square instead of round

granny squares

tonight i took the last croutheting class i sighned up for i think o was most excited for this class i have always loved granny squares & squers that are simalar im so glad i toom it

at first i was frustrayed becuse i wasnt underdstanding what the pattern said & how to actually do it after awhile i got it thank heavens i used blak & purple i made two squares the are opposite of each other then i sewed them together when i was getting ready to leave the woman in there who was knitting said mine looked like halloween they are good colors for halloween im going to make a blanket useing granny squares i will post a picture of the finished product when its done & that will be a while

projects

so a couple of posts ago i posted this little girl purse & didnt know where i shoud put the flowers everytime i thought about little girls & purses i thought flowers on top im not sure why i thought this but i do so on the top they went

i have been working on this next project this past week it includes these flowers

and this im not showing it all becuse its a birthday present & it wont get to the person till next week so this is all you get to see & yes its finished

while makeing these projects i started off with one price to trey to sell them for then while sewing in the flowers i had a compltley diffrent price wich was higher then i looked at it as a whole & decided i need classes & more practice before im comfortable selling them however blankets & scarfs are a differnt story

this is for my next project it should be fun to make
