Finishing Up Odds and Ends

Here is sis wearing the Friend Shawl. Find pattern here. I used a K hook and Coats and Clark yarn in Red. The bottom section I added extra shells because I felt the shawl was going to be too small. but after seeing it on sis I know it will be just fine. The neck is a very small opening shape though.

This is a close-up of the shawl. It is really quite easy to follow but something somewhere was off.

This is the photo of the doily I finally finished. Star in a Snowflake is what this one is called. I used #10 Crochet Cotton and a size 7 steel crochet hook.

This one had a lot of Picots in it and those are not my favorite things to make. This is a close up of that section. The colors are blue and white. Like I needed to tell you that. LOL!

Finally, today we made a Becky Teddy. She also has this pattern in knit. Mine is crocheted and I used scrap yarn and filled it with scarp yarn pieces I have been saving from all my other projects. The eyes are purchased plastic eyes from JoAnn's Fabric. They are attached pretty firmly.

Now for the evening I think we are planning on working on the turtle tape measures.

Everything you have made looks so very wonderful. Good job! I might try that Friends Shawl later. Scarlet makes a good model!
