Needlework Update

Good morning,

Here it is at the end of June and I've finished a few more needlework projects.  Here are some of them for those who are interested.  Above is a child size 8 sweater...

...and here is one to match for my 18" doll, Ginger.  :) 

 

I had enough of the blue fuzzy yarn to make a lap blanket with it, too.  This is the right size for a person who spends time in a chair or confined to a wheelchair to fit across lap and to the floor. I made one of these for my Mom many years ago at her request.  She was delighted to have the lap blanket for warmth and privacy while sitting in her wheelchair or in her living room recliner. 

 You've seen the child's sweater above before, but now I've also finished one to fit Ginger.  ;)

 Above is an image of a rectangular shawl laying double on my couch...

 ...this is he same shawl hanging.  As you can see, I have issues with getting a good picture of the color and pattern.  I'll have to work on this when I get home!  The real cranberry color is most true in the first image.  It is the same yarn as the triangular shawl I pictured in my last update.  I just love the way this yarn drapes.

I'm working on Christmas items for Ginger, too.  :)  This is more of the red cranberry yarn I used for the shawls.

And, finally, this little lady has already been given as a gift to a friend on board.  :)

So, for my needlework friends, that's the update at the end of June.  What are you making?

All the best,
Lois
