The Sweater I Made

Here is the sweater that I crocheted for my niece Lilly for Christmas.  This is the first sweater that I have ever made.  I have never crocheted anything with sleeves up to this point.  It turned out very well and fit Lilly perfect, with room to grow in to.  I am so proud of this creation.  I have to say this is the one that I am most proud of up to this point.

Hooded Scarf for Mom

I made my mom a hooded scarf for Christmas.  This is a little different that most of the hooded scarves out there because there is no seam on the head.  The hood fits that head perfectly.  She really liked her scarf so I was really pleased with how this project turned out.  So here is the beginning of the projects that I could not show.

Crochet It Forward and The Holidays

Yesterday I taught someone how to crochet fr the first time.  I didn't teach her a ton of stitches as time did not permit.  I did however teach her the chain stitch, and the double crochet.  I also left her with a tutorial book.  It was fun to pass along the knowledge that I have learned to one of my friend's.  My hopes is that she will not get frustrated with the learning process and quit.  The first couple of projects can be quite frustrating because it is awkward and new to crochet.  Robin is very smart though and I am confident that she can become a very talented crochet artist.

Then when I got home last night I decided to have a baking party.  I baked 48 sugar cookies, 48 chocolate chip cookies, and a pan of raspberry chocolate brownies.  I am making all of this for a party that I am having with a couple of friends of mine on Tuesday, and for Christmas with my parents.  I will post pictures of both later.

I will also post pictures of all the crochet projects that I have not been able to post after Christmas.  Most of my crochet projects are Christmas presents and I have not wanted to spoil any ones Christmas.   So there's more to come!

Here are some pictures of my Christmas tree and my Christmas decorations.  I hope that you enjoy!
