Finished Project - Crocheted Rose Shawl

This is my finished Shawl. I made it for a swap and Sissie really liked it. Very easy ~ personally I don't like fringe, however it's really needed for this project. The pattern is below:

I love getting pictures of the kids at Christmas time. This is my sister Kelly's 2 - Wyatt and Jessica...
And this is my sister Dawn's 2 - Allen and Eva...
And my sister Debbie's 4....Stephanie, Jessica, Melanie, and Matt.

On the crocheting front: Got the Lacy Cardigan almost done. Put it together and did the bottom edging. Just have to do the neck edging and the sleeves and the right and left bands, put on a few buttons and it should be ready to wear by 1/2!!! Will post a picture when done!

Happy New Year!

Here is a great picture of my sister Debbie's 4 kids. I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! We are going to Sea World and Disney's Hollywood Studios (used to be called MGM) to see the Osborne Specticale of Dancing Lights!

On the knitting front: I FINISHED MY BAMBOO TOP! Hurray I can wear it for Christmas. I'll get a picture sometime next week. Got about 6-8" done on the sleeves for my first top with sleeves. This one is going to be amazing looking!

On the crocheting front: I think I ran out of black for my cardigan. Have to look through my stash again, or buy a skein or two!

On the Yorkie Front: We got a couple doggies adopted but there are more that need a new forever home. If you know anyone interested in making a lifetime commitment to a dog, please consider a rescue or ASPCA or Humane Society. www dot yorkiefriendrescue dot com

Here's a picture of the Family. Eva's Christening! Too bad I couldn't make it. I heard everyone in NY had a great time. Boy do I miss my family especially this time of year. Hope everyone is having a Happy and Healthy Holiday!

On the crochet front: I finished the round ripple baby blanket. It came out cute. There is a picture on ravelry YFRKERRIE.......... Haven't picked up the crocheted black cardigan in a while.

On the knitting front: Still have to finish the edging on the bamboo top. Already started my next project. I am no longer a knitting monogamist.

On the Yorkie front: We have some great small dogs (not all Yorkies) on YorkieFriendsRescue.com so if you know anyone who is interested........HINT HINT HINT

On the Scuba front: Drove ALLLLLL the way to West Palm on Sunday and our dive was cancelled due to the waves being too high. Hopefully we will go to Crystal River this weekend and I will finally be certified (and have proof LOL).

Don't want to ruin it for anyone who is planning on going to MK..............but here is a picture of Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom decorated for the holidays..............It is spectacular....Go if you can!








On the crocheting front: I finished the baby blanket in a round ripple. I got the pattern from someone's blog...I wish I could remember. I did the edging in a reverse single crochet. It came out wonderful!!! This will be the first blanket I will have to block because it is rippled. I guess because I used an "F" hook. Will take a picture when it is done.

On the Yorkie Front: Lucy got adopted! Yeah for her! Check the website www.YorkieFriendsRescue.com if you or someone you know wants a doggie! Remember to spay and neuter!

OK. Finally uploaded the pictures off my camera. We went to Sea World Orlando in Sept and here is our family photo! We had such a great day. I love Shamu!

On the Yorkie Friends Rescue front: We got Zsa Zsa. She is a senior girl who needs some loving! Anyone interested, please go to our website: YorkieFriendsRescue.com
Been crocheting my "Color Me Square" (Yahoo Groups) December Pink 6" squares. They are coming out sooo cool. I try to do each one different.

November 26, 2007

OK! This is my version of "The Dog Ate My Homework"...........The cat was laying on the yarn and I couldn't finish the project! LOL

I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day and know what you are grateful for! I have been vetoed for Christmas! I wanted Roast Beef but apparently everyone else wants my lasagna! I guess life could be worse. I started the black crocheted cardigan...got the back and two fronts done, will work on the sleeves tonight....Put the knitted bamboo top on the back burner for a little while. Crocheting goes so much faster. I'm on ravelry YFRKerrie if you want to stop and say HI!

On the Yorkie Front: Ozzie got adopted to a great home (even though Hubby said he would have been OK with another doggie).

The big fat 20 pound cat ~ Dusty gave us a big scare yesterday. He pushed open the window screen in the spare bedroom and went to terrorize the neighborhood. Luckily we found him safe and sound.

OK here are 3 more crocheted squares I finished for my Color Me Square Yahoo swap. This one is very thick with front post and back posts: This one looks cool but not as cool as the one above.

This one looks really cool with the white and black:

On the Yorkie Friends Rescue side: OMG there is a dog that looks just like my Oz and his name is Ozzie! I almost fell out of my chair!!! I'll post his picture tomorrow.

On the knitting front: Have about 4 more inches on my sleeveless shell to finish!!! Hopefully I will run out of pattern before running out of Bamboo yarn...LOL Maybe I'll have it ready to wear for Turkey day since it's a cool 78 degrees here in FLA! Then I can start my next project with sleeves!

November 7, 2007

More squares for my Color Me Square Swap on Yahoo. I think I will mix them up. Wookie got adopted from YFR!!! Good Luck to him! Didn't get any crafting done last night due to a headache....maybe tonight. Getting addicted to ravelry..........my name is YFRKerrie if you want to take a look!

November 6, 2007

Here are two more squares that I made for "color me square" yahoo group. I hope my swapping partners like them. I am going to wait until all squares are completed and mail them in one shot! I also got a couple more information on Ralvery

Didn't get any knitting done yesterday. Hopefully tonight after I straighten up the house.

November 5, 2007

I have been busy making square for my yahoo group: Color me Square. I have to double check the book I got this pattern from. I'll post more tomorrow! I hope to have my knitted top finished by next weekend (the 17th). Then I can start my next one. I am graduating to the long tail cast on and sleeves!!! OOOOOHHHHH AAAAAAHHHHH

I am on ravely now under YFRKerrie so check it out!

As far as the Yorkie Rescue goes, hopefully Mowglie will be adopted soon!

March 18

It is finally completed! The American Flag Afghan I made for the Yorkie Friends Rescue.

Went to the Seminole County Pet Adopt-A-Thon yesterday. It is kind of sad to see how many animals have to be rescued. Please spay and neuter your pets!

Still on the NS and haven't cheated!
