It has three buttons enclosure at the neck.

Sexy Fingerless

These hand warmers or finger-less gloves were knitted with merino wool and used a cable pattern on the top, with rib pattern around. 

There are various patterns available for these types of gloves, using thinner yarn made of cotton or merino wool.

Hand wash with cold water and lay flat to dry.

A-DOLL-rable

I have used this free pattern to create a variety of dolls with custom colors in different sizes. This is a Large size doll made in acrylic yarn and filled with poly fill, which makes it easy to wash in cold water and air dry. The eyes and mouth are glued on, but if they get detached, I can easily sew them. The hair color can be blond, black, or brown -- or any color you want.

The dress and shoes are removable, and I can make additional shoes or dresses for a doll. The hair is braided, but it can be combed out with your fingers to create other hair styles.

The dress and shoe buttons are made of wood, but those can also be customized for color or material.

For Sale: large doll $60, medium doll $38, small doll $24.
I can make extra-large doll for $75.

Bear in a Basket

My attempts at creating more amigurumi and other items, I have found a cute bear pattern that I gave to my friend's daughter. I also attempted to create a basket, but I need to find a tougher yarn to make the basket more sturdy.

Here, Aubrey is holding the little beat that is made of pure wool and filled with poly-fill. The bear in the basket below is the same. The basket is made of mercerized cotton in a gold color. Both items are crocheted.

Butterfly in the Grass

I wanted to try amigurumi and so I found a cute pattern online for this butterfly. So I created this cute crocheted butterfly with a lavender body and shinny multicolored wings. Here it is in the grassy background of my laptop desktop.

It is only about 5-6 inches high and is made with cotton yarn and thread and stuffed with poly-fill.

Happy Thanksgiving or Woof Toy

Last year I was inspired and found a pattern to create a small pumpkin. I even included a squeaky so that my two doggies will enjoy. The squeaky lasted about a month. Mia's goal in life is to chew on all the squeaky's of her toys, including those hand-made with love. The toy has survived without being flattened minus the filling, however.

Made of acrylic yarn and filled with poly-fill, this toy survives at the bottom of the doggies' toy bin. It is about 4 inches tall and round. Sometimes it is used for fetch.

Wave Rave

Being inspired by the fall foliage, I crocheted a throw or afghan using the red, yellow, orange and taupe colors. It was crocheted with acrylic yarn, so it is easy to wash and dry.

These vibrant colors bring about the warm colors of the fall season: ripe pumpkins, Thanksgiving, colorful leaves un-cloaking trees. And, the chill in the air gets a little more intense.

What better way to cozy up in front of a fireplace, with this warm afghan.

For Sale: $28 with additional charge for shipping.

Diamond Colors

This afghan with diamond shapes was so favored by my mom, that now she uses it and lays on her bed.

Each granny square was crocheted with two triangles shapes, where one half single triangle had a single color and the other half triangle worked in contrasting stripes. Arranging these squares with the stripes together, combined as diamond shapes. After creating the 9 diamonds, I attached them together with yellow stripes.

I used bright colors and combined them in contrasting patterns. The three combinations are shown below. 

The orange diamond pattern created are 4, each made up of 4 squares. 

4 Orange Diamond: 4 squares/ea or 16 total squares

The yellow diamond pattern created are 4, each made up of 4 squares. 

4 Yellow Diamond: 4 squares/ea or 16 total squares

Finally, one red diamond pattern made up of 4 squares. In all there are 36 squares. I arranged the diamond patterns in a diagonal order, as you can see from the picture at the top.

Red Diamond: 4 squares

The yarn used was Vanna White's acrylic yarn, which makes it easy to wash and dry, without worrying about shrinking.
