Crocheted Lizard Bookmarks

These are cute bookmarks I made from yarn I spun. I got some moving eyes and glued them on to make them look lively.

Woven Patchwork Blanket

This is a large project in process. I have quite a bit of different samples of yarns I spun, but not enough of each color to make a real project, so I pulled out my Weavette Looms and woven squares and rectangles to use of the yarns (since these little looms are continuous weaves, there is no waste. I warp as I weave at the same time. I'm also using black commercial wool yarns to crochet a border to make it easier to sew the patches together.

Bat Wing Shawl

I learned this pattern from one of the Members at the crochet guild I belong to. The lady that taught us this stitch had found instructions on line how to create this stitch. I bought 4 each 4 oz bundles of wool/ tencil blend fibers, spun it up and created this shawl. I'm ready to make a 2nd one. I like the way this shawl hugs your shoulders and it doesn't fall off as easy compared to other shawls.

Two Crocheted Teddy Bears from a pattern created by ThReAdTeDs

This Teddy bear was made from the same pattern as the first teddy bear with the doll. I didn't enter this one. I made this as a practice on following the pattern. Crochet Cotton thread was used to make this bear.



This Crocheted Teddy Bear was done from wool yarn I spun myself. The doll she's holding is made from cotton crochet thread and I won a 1st place blue ribbon on this teddy bear back in 2008 at the San Mateo County Fair.

Projects in early January 2010

Fibers I spun in the "Four in a Corner" workshop our Spinning Guild Did and I learned to blend Silk Noils with Wool.
