Comfy Whipped Cardigan

The past month to six weeks has been extremely busy on my homefront - working on several new crochet projects, finishing up Grade 2 of home schooling my grandson, Jacob, umpiring baseball with my hubby, suffered a knee injury, 2 trips out of town - one weekend to Boone and another weekend to Mt. Airy and just the day-to-day outside work that comes with spring.

Sadly, last week, I suffered the loss of my Aunt Janice.  I travelled to West Virginia for her funeral. She was a very kind, loving, and outspoken person.  I will miss her but I know where she has gone and I will see her again one day.

Here is one of my new designs, “Comfy Whipped Cardigan.”  I used Lion Brand’s Comfy Cotton Blend in Whipped Cream and a 5.5mm hook.  I’m totally in love with the softness of this yarn.  It is a #3 weight yarn.  I used 2 and a half skeins of this yarn.

I still have to find the perfect buttons to complete this Cardigan and then I will update with the pattern.  For now, I wanted to share a few pictures with you all.

Happy Crocheting!!!

Sweater Vest - XL

I made this Sweater Vest - XL - using Bernat Chunky yarn in Black and True Grey. I used 4 and 1/2 skeins in Black and 3 and 1/2 skeins in True Grey.  Each skein is 108 yards. I used an 8mm hook for the front and back panels and a 10mm hook for the neck/cowl.

I made 2 identical panels.  I then whipstitched the panels at the top together - 15 stitches on each side, leaving the middle portion for the neck opening.  I then whipstitched up each side, leaving an opening for the arms.

Summer Top/Cover-Up

I was looking for some white cotton yarn in my craft room and came across this cute Summer Top/Cover-Up I made more than 1-2 years ago using Lily Sugar 'n Cream White Cotton Yarn.  I made this free-form, I think...lol.  But, I will look through my scribbled pattern notes to see if I, by chance, have it written.

If I do have the pattern written, I will share it for those who may want to make this...

It's made in a size large.  I used two (2) of the cylinder, cone-shaped yarns (retail $13.99 each at Hobby Lobby- I used the 40% off coupon and got each for $8.39; purchased separately to use 40% off coupon).  Each cylinder has 805 yards of yarn.  I did have a small amount of yarn leftover.
