Miss Tutti Frutti Round Ripple

I thought I'd post a picture of my latest creation. This is the last of the projects for the Crochet Games at Crochetville.
I made this baby RR for a NICU. I wanted it to have ridges to emphasize it a little more. It took lots of trial and error, but I finally hit on it. This is my new favorite pattern. It is a little tough on my hands and wrists, so I just take my time on the ridged rows.

Presenting...............Miss Tutti Frutti



Here is a side view to see the definition of the ridges a little better.

Some Of My Games Projects

I have completed my projects for the Crochet Games at Crochetville. I thought I'd post a few of them.

Here are the 2 scarves I made. The variegated one is made from Bernat Softee Chunky and the black speckled one is made from Icelandic Jewels. These 2 scarves, along with a few more that I am making, are going to a charity for abused women. I hope they bring comfort to someone in need.



Here is the 2 strand rug I made for Nancy. It will match the 2 that I made for her when I was done in Florida visiting her last month. This one will go in front of her couch. It was made from RHSS yarn.

Crochet Games At Crochetville


Over at Crochetville.org we are having The Crochet Games of Ancient Greece.
We all picked projects to challenge our crocheting.
I have picked a 2 strand rug for Nancy, a baby Round Ripple to go to a NICU, and 2 scarves that are going to women that have suffered abuse.
I will have pictures to post as my projects get farther along.
I may have them all completed way before the end of the games, and if I do, I will either make another Round Ripple or I will make more scarves. I may also make some squares to be used for comfortghans. It all will depend on how my neck and hands hold up!!!

Been A Long Time Since My Last Post

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted last. I have moved to a new apartment, been crocheting up a storm and been creating new things. I have made a Baby RR, purses, jewelry pouches and lots of dishcloths.

Here are a few of my latest creations:
