Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Here’s Mom wearing the shawl I crocheted her for Mother’s Day. It is with one strand of Homespun and one strand of baby yarn – brown. The pattern is a crocheted feather and fan – very nice pattern.
This is the prettiest dress I ever saw in my whole life!!! Why?? First, it’s just super-cute. Second, my darling daughter-in-law crocheted it. She knows how proud I am of her for learning to crochet but really Danielle, I know you will read this and I hope you really do feel my pride in you. This dress she made to donate – more pride!!!
Danielle made Zachary another blanket. This is our trip to Hobby Lobby to pick out yarn, the finished product and the most beautiful baby in the world (he’s my grandson – yes, I’m partial to him). The yarn is Simply Soft – the baby is Simply a Joy…….
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
We hope the Riley NICU babies have a very Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
For this donation, we made enough to gift forty-three babies. We are shipping 16 full sets, 12 mini sets and 15 hats.
As always, thanks to the entire team!!! Here are the pictures:
Gallery of Valentine’s Day Donations – January 23, 2011
Dad was in the Army way back when (in the 1950’s). Keith found this Santa soldier at Hobby Lobby and I had to get it for Dad. I knitted matching camo hats for the soldier, Dad and Dad’s great-grandson, Zachary. Dad says it’s his favorite hat I’ve ever knitted for him – fits him the best – yay!!!!
Danielle and I store our crochet hooks in these baby wipe containers. Since they match and we usually sit together when we crochet, we asked Corey to make us labels that say “Danielle” and “Teri”. He took it one beautiful step farther………..
The cutest lil’ bumblebee ever (yes, I knit his hat and sewed his little mitts)………..
Here is a snuggie I crocheted and a hat I knitted for Zach for his car seat. He is also wearing fleece mitts I custom-made to keep his precious hands warm.
Here he is testing it out before I finished the sleeves……..
Here he is in the shape of what he stole from my family when he was conceived…….
………..and playing shy…….
…….yet still being patient………..
………….and “please can this be over with”……………
The “Snuggle Up” pattern is here but I made adjustments. I did mine with a sc/dc stitch to make it warmer (Corey loves sc/dc – when he was a kid he called it “the warmest pattern” so I chose that stitch for mine). I also made it longer – do what you want to make it work for your child of choice. This one was custom crocheted for Zach.
The hat pattern is a combination of patterns that I found – again, custom knit to be perfect for Zachary.
