Just finished this crocheted cloth for a sofa table which matches the pattern for the Mountain Laurel Tablecloth and doily. Already finished one just like this for a large 46" X 26" coffee table. Will be making a matching cloth for a fireplace mantel which is going to be a challenge due to the shape it needs to be.

Tutti-Fruiti Kitchen Set

This is one of my favorite designs I've written. The pattern consists of a crocheted towel, a towel topper, potholder, scrubbie, dishcloth, and coasters. This pattern is available through www.lulupublishing.com . Just do a search for the name of this set, and hopefully you can find where to purchase it.


Ruffled Rippled Afghan

Me and my wondering mind.... I decided I would start out with a square and then turn it into a ripple afghan just to see how it would turn out. So here it is!






Purple Passion Afghan



This is a small afghan I designed, and I really need to get busy and get this pattern written. This would really make a nice bedside rug or to brighten up a bathroom. The reason it is not any larger, is because I ran out of the purple yarn, and the color has been discontinued! Small afghan or not, I still love how it turned out.





Two Looks Are Better Than One Poncho - I designed the square motif for this poncho so it would be reversible. So one side looks mostly red and the other side looks mostly blue, although both sides are red/white/and blue. The long fringe was not cut to be even, but left as it was to give it a different look. If I remember right, I permitted the pattern for this reversible motif to be published in one of the Crochet Calendar-a-Day. An afghan would also be pretty made with this motif. I've never seen a crocheted motif that was reversible giving two different looks as this one does and that was exactly what I was trying to do.







Knitchee Bag \(O)/ 2011

This is a Knitchee Bag, since it is partly knitted and partly crocheted! It's not quite finished, as I plan on sewing in a lining, but haven't decided on what color or type of fabric I want to use. All the decorations on it, except the butterfly applique, is freeform crochet. I may never write a pattern for this, but if I do it won't be exactly a duplicate of this one. So this is Knitchee Bag #1. If I make another one similar to it, I'll write the pattern and it'll be my Knitchee Bag #2!
