Pillow

Weave-it Pillow

Some ladies from church make pillows and blankets for a nursing home.

I pillow I made out of gray and red weave-it squares.

Three sides sewn together

Stuffed with fiberfill

12 gray squares

12 red squares

Used Caron Simply Soft yarn 

Pillow

 Blue Weave-it Pillow

Each side is made up of 15 squares.

I used Caron Simply Soft Yarn.

I got a kick out of the yarn color name.

Saturday Night Blue Jeans

Another pillow for a senior at one of the nursing homes around the area.

Weave-it Pillow

 This is the first time I tried making a weave-it pillow.

I like it but think it is a bit too big.

The next one I make will be smaller.

I made 60 squares.

30 for each side.

Sewed three edges together.

Left one side open so it could be stuffed.

Then sewed the last side.

Pillows will be given to seniors at local nursing homes.

A women's group at my church get together once a month to make

pillows, blanket for babies and seniors.

The yarn I used is Caron simply soft,

the same yarn I use for the baby blankets.

Baby Blanket

Finished the latest weave-it Baby Blanket

for the Baby Blanket Ministry at church.

A group of women from church get together once a month

and make baby blankets.

We make them at home too and meet up once a month.

 Usually use Caron Simply Soft yarn but this time the yarn I used was

Herrschners Worsted baby yarn.

The two colors I used were 

Fairy Princess and Pansies.

This one just may be my favorite one.

Though I have said that before.

Knitted Blanket

 On the Bright Side - Blanket Knitting Pattern

Knitted a blanket for Babies for Blankets for a change instead

of making a weave-it one.

I used Caron One Pound yarn.

Knitted on size 8 circular needle

PATTERN

Cast on 126 stitches

Knit the first 12 rows

With wrong side facing work as follows:

ROW 1 -  K6, P118, K last 6 stitches

ROWS 2 - 6 Knit

ROW 7 - K6, *P2, K2; repeat from * until 8 stitches on needle, P2, K6

ROW 8 - K6, *K2, P2; repeat from * until 8 stitches on needle, K2, K6

ROWS 10 - 14 Knit

Repeat these 14 rows for pattern.

Knit the last 11 rows.

Bind off.

Baby Blanket

This is the latest baby blanket that I made out of weave-it squares 

for the new babies that a group of women from church make for the local babies.

Again I used Simply Soft Caron yarn.

Baby Blanket

 A new year of making baby blankets.

Starting off in January with this one.

A checked pattern, two shades of blue.

Using the same kind of yarn as always for the blankets,

Simply Soft by Carron.

Baby Blanket for December

The baby blanket I made this for this month is made with the same yarn I usually use which is Simply Soft by Carron.

The squares are made on a weave-it 4 inch loom and sewn together.

This is another one of my favorites.

But then I say that a lot.🙂

Christmas Ornament

At the December Baby Blanket work day we will also be having a Christmas luncheon.

We will each bring a wrapped Christmas ornament to exchange.

Instead of buying one I decided to make a cross stitch one instead.

I started it yesterday.

My idea is to make the blue angel and the green one 

and put them back to back  

so each side of the ornament will have a different angel.

If I don't finish in time I can always just have the one.

Baby Blanket

Finished a baby blanket made out of weave-it squares.

The yarn used was Caron Simply Soft.

Haven't made one for a couple of months because we had an over supply of them when we couldn't give them out at the hospital.

But now that we have the doctors office giving them out we are up and running again.

Scarves for Rose Bud

 I've finished knitting two more scarves for the kids from church 

to take on their missions trip to the Rose Bud Reservation in South Dakota.

Think they are going again in October.

This makes a total of 6 scarves.

Baby Blanket

 Another weave-it baby blanket finished.

This one is for July.

For a boy for sure.

This one too is made with Caron Simply Soft yarn.

Counted cross stitch start

 I've started a counted cross stitch kit that I've had for a while now.

Kind of slow going because my eyes aren't what they were and

I can't stitch as long as I would like

but I really want to get this done in a timely manner.

Our theme this year at church is

Standing on God's Promises

So I thought this is the perfect time to do this counted cross stitch

and a perfect gift to give Pastor Leatherman and Kathy.

This is what I've have done so far.

It looks purple in the picture but it is blue.

I'm hoping if I post my progress it will give me incentive to keep at it.

Another Baby Blanket

This is the baby blanket for June

 Like the others it is made up of 70 weave-it squares sewn together.

The yarn I use is Caron Simply Soft.

Blankets go to the newborn babies at the local hospital.

Scarves

I've knitted a couple more scarves.

I'm knitting a bunch of them for the teens from our church to

take on a missions trip this coming winter.

 

Double Moss Stitch Blanket

 I knitted another baby blanket.

This one I will save for winter because it was knitted with bulky yarn

and will be nice and warm.
