Past Projects ~ Clothes Remember when I posted about finding the Spring-Summer 1970 McCall's Needlework & Crafts magazine?

Crochet Pink Dress: The work on the pink dress continues. I am really just starting my crochet journey. So far, it hasn't been much different than my knitting projects in that I have to start, re-start, & re-start again before making any real progress. For this project I am working in cotton.

Dolly Dearest 9 inches I really don't have large blocks of time that I can devote to working on this project. That shows in the length of time that it has taken to make the progress that I have since starting this project.

Workbasket – W.I.P.s

Some of these projects have wonderful forward progress and some are frustratingly stalled or in backward motion, this being a side "benefit" of new and improved knowledge, especially if the project isn't completely finished. Although I… Continue reading Workbasket – W.I.P.s

The dress was so cute that I got enough yarn to make 2 more for my co-worker's daughters. I am currently working on Bee's… Continue reading Workbasket

Workbasket – Like a Duck or an Iceberg…
Doesn't look like much on the surface, but there is still lots going on out-of-sight. That has been me the last couple of months (OK, not so much when it comes to running. Health issues and cold weather). This is a quick look at things I've been doing or finished. A little more detail will… Continue reading Workbasket – Like a Duck or an Iceberg…
