She is a sweetie! And the hat is just right. Nice of you to whip it up for her for the trip.

That is so cute.  I've been a deadbeat on projects.  Everything has been house.  Keep up the good work.

I thought I'd put pictures of the afghan repair here.

the actual "hole" was about 18" long, but most of that was just taking a crochet hook and redoing the stitches.  until i got to the end where the yarn had actually been cut.

here are pictures of the hole that was left after i redid the stitches, and the what the repairs look like now.  the thread is a slightly different color, but i think cathy will be happy.



you can get an idea where i reworked the stitches here before finishing the repair


and a close of up of the final repair.


that is a pink change purse behind the afghan in all the photos so you can see it better.

I will post a photo of the actual afghan when i get it out of the wash... it smelled like wet dog... we need a "pee ewww" smilie.

Very good work. Not everyone can do that. It looks like it might last another few years unless someone tosses it to the dogs again.

I'm curious about the vine, did you embroider it or did you crochet over the work?  You know me always curious.

tammy, i did not make the blanket, but to answer your question, it was crocheted over the top and went across most of the bottom and about half way up one side.  the roses i did manage to get all of them in the picture.  they appeared to be crocheted on as well, but i did not look at their construction as closely as i could have.  i have returned the blanket to its owner and she assured me that it would not be put back on the couch until her daughters are not there to let the puppies play on it.

ok, here are pictures of what i made for the secret santa gift swap.  i had someone who wanted a coffee gift certificate so i made one of those things that go over the cup to keep from burning your fingers.  it is really brown, but on the pictures that you can see the color, the detail is not really visible.  the ones with the visible details the color is off... :dunno:









it was such a hit that i have "orders" for 3 more.

A nice personalized gift. Sometimes you make me want to drag out my hooks again.

well, i was asked if i could make some more, and how much i'd charge.  i gave 2 prices.  one for if they wanted them by christmas (charging for my actual time) and the other if they wanted them just "whenever".  so i will work on some more... a pig, a cow, and a horse.
