I made this afghan for my son and daughter-in-law. They had moved to South Carolina, so I wanted to give them a lighter, more airy blanket. I purchased the yarn and pattern through Herrschner’s® as an afghan kit. I believe the kit was called “Jade Treasures” and it contained not only the pattern but also […]

Hat, Booties & Blanket 2011
A co-worker of mine was about to become an auntie for the very first time, and wanted something special for her niece. She asked if I could help with an idea and make something for her to give to her sister for the baby, and this is what we came up with. A knit hat, […]
Shell Stitch Crochet Wool Scarf 2013
I made this wool scarf in a simple shell stitch, using Patons Classic Wool Worsted yarn. I believe the colorway was called Rosewood. When I bought this, Patons sold it as a 100% Merino wool. I can’t seem to find it anymore except as a wool blend, which is thoroughly disappointing. I do not have […]
Crochet Sun Hats 2015
These three are sun hats I made for babies. The yellow one fits a child about 12 -18 months old, and the green one and pink one I made to fit my 6-month-old twin nieces, but should fit them for at least a year. They were very simple to make, but I had no pattern […]
Star of Life 2016
This was a special personalized project. This crocheted afghan was made for my boyfriend’s oldest son. It fits a twin size bed. The initials across the top (MMW II) are his initials. As soon as he turned 18 years old, he started EMT classes. He received his state EMT credentials a few months later, and […]
Crochet Hat & Scarf Set 2006
This is one of my favorites that I’ve designed. It’s simple and fairly quick to work up. I’m not 100% sure but I believe the yarn was Red Heart Super Saver. I made several sets of these and gave them to my niece and nephews for Christmas that year. My nephew, M. is modelling his […]
Rainbow Scrap Afghan 2007
This is a Queen-size blanket made in 2007 for my oldest son. The name of the pattern was ‘Colors, Colors, Colors’ by Hazel Osborne. I can no longer find that particular pattern, but there is a very similar pattern out there called Apache Tears. Every other row was solid white, while the colors were completely […]
Ripple Romance Afghan 2005
This blanket was made in 2005 (as you can see in the image) for a raffle to benefit local Adopt-A-Family for Christmas that year. I was very happy how it turned out. Both the top and bottom sections were done in a charcoal color, and the main area was a creamy white. The pattern is […]
