Spring projects

Spring is here! My favorite flowers are blooming. I love iris.

I started crocheting a shawl from a pattern I found at Dabbles and Babbles. At first I chained 100 and
crocheted along for a while. Then I decided I wanted to orient it the other way so all that was undone.

This time I chained 200+ and began again. I fixed some parts that I didn't understand the first time.

Below is how far I have gotten with one skein and a little more. Fortunately my yarn shop had more of the same dye lot, so I bought another skein. I think 4 skeins will make the shawl I imagine.

I meant to finish the charity quilt but realized I had an invitation to a wedding shower so....

I looked at the gift registry and found that all the happy couple had chosen was white or ivory with a few accents of red. I made a quick reversible apron with fabric I bought in Boston at a Vietnamese fabric shop. Below is the red side.

I used cream for the other side. If there is time I will make some matching 'Hot Fingers' oven mitts.

Hope to link with Wendy. Enjoy the spring/fall where you are.
