My nanny has been working on learning how to crochet. I’m not teaching her, she knew how from somewhere before. She picked up a book that is re-teaching her the basics. I think seeing me knit more things than we can count (and finishing a few of them occasionally) has inspired her (or at least I like to think it has!). She crocheted my daughter’s doll a great little blanket:
This is actually her second project, she knit my daughter’s little kitty a blanket too (much smaller, and only one color).
The doll’s name is Charlie, and according to my daughter, is a boy. (Nevermind that it came with a pink outfit and was named Shelly or something like that by the store). To see my nanny talk about being able to use whatever colors she wanted (notice the white and blue in the center, and the yellow around the edge?), I know she’s hooked. It’s only a matter of time before she wants to learn to knit, and when she does - I’ll be there!

so…didja see the pics from Saturday? didja?
I hope you like your prizes - but do a swatch and wash it. If it doesn’t feel nice for you or like something you’d like to felt, then let me know - I have other suitable things to choose from. :-D I did the samples from Brown Sheep Sport for the socks and Cascade 220 for the rest.
