3/4 Sleeve DROPS Sweater

Started this sweater for my Mom for Christmas. I am using Simply Soft yarn in white as she said she wanted a white sweater. I am using a size 6 crochet needle
Here is the pattern.

Crochet is not what I usually do for clothing but I thought I would try this pattern.

Granny Square Baby Blanket

Here is the baby blanket that goes with the sweater set posted below. Both yarns are Bernat Baby.

Lace chevron socks

Raglan baby sweater and hat

I made this sweater for a friend of my sisters. It matches the blanket I crochet earlier for her.
The baby is due any time now. I hope it fits ;^)

Reducio

I made mini socks in all the house colors so I would be ready when I knew my swap partners house color.

My partner was a Gryffindor .

I also sent a two sided owl ornament , mini sweater in her house colors and a snowman ornament. A Christmas tree to put it all under ;^)

I will knit up another sock to replace the one I sent out so I will be ready for the next swap.

I am waiting to receive mine and will post when I do.

Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Now comes the countdown for Christmas knitting. I have 2 pair of socks going and an adult sweater 3/4 of the way done. I also have a baby shower this weekend and need to knit a sweater set for that. Thank god for the 5 hour baby sweater pattern!!

Creative Home Arts Club

*************************

Whatever you do , stay away from this club.

They get you in with the promise of letting you test craft products that you get to keep for free .

.....................................................NOT !!!!!..........................................

I received their offer for only $12.00 , which I agreed to pay. It had a send no money now. When my bill came it was for $24.00 for two years. I paid this . They stated that when payment was received that I would get a Cocoa Lovers Collection and a FREE $100.00 grocery coupon . I did not receive these. I checked out their web site and found out that you may or may not be picked to try a craft product and that if you are picked that you need to wait 6 to 9 months then cannot be picked again for 1 year.

Last week I received a book to review and buy if I wanted to keep it. It also stated that if I review 4 more books and buy them, then I would be picked to get a free craft product. They try to get you to buy these books that are not all that good. You can get the same info on the web for free. I am not into book clubs.

I do not mind reviewing products but I do not want to buy them.

Today I received a bill for another $24.00 for dues...........DUES FOR WHAT.........I already paid this . I didn't realize that it was monthly as it was not stated anywhere.

If I pay this I will receive my cocoa lovers collection and my grocery coupon.Also a welcome kit that I was suppose to receive before.

The free gift I did receive was a 4 1/2 by 6 inch gift bag.

There is a whole web search on how this is a SCAM.

I called and was told that they would change my membership to the magazine only.

By the way , this club also has a lifetime membership that they bill you for and do not let you know.

Check this out.
