Finally finished something

Guess I haven't posted in a while, ah, that is because I haven't had time to make anything! I started this purse for Mikayla thinking I would work on it all summer and have it finished in no time. Well I finally got it finished, and that is because I wanted to take it with me this week-end. Hope she likes it:

Yet more purses!

I managed to finish a few more purses, but I'm thinking these will be my last for a while this summer. I saw a purse shaped like this a couple of weeks ago, and loved it, so adapted it to my ties. I really like the green one. I'm trying to finish up the purse I crocheted for Franks daughters birthday, it's just waiting for Frank to make the handles.

Tank Top

It fits! Here it is all done and modeled......
I'm surprised I had any time to crochet since our summer season is really picking up, but I did manage to make this tank top for a personal swap on craftster. My swap partner picked out the pattern and I made it with some yarn that was included in some yarn I had ordered a while back.At first I was all worried that I would run out of yarn and that would be the end of it. I sure hope it fits her, I think it would have been better to have her close enough to try it on from time to time to make sure. The pattern is called the "cowgirl tank top" from DIY. Front, pictures don't do it justice. It's made to be form fitting.
Back, maybe I'll be able to get my swap partner to send a picture with it on.....if it fits!

Market bag

Finished this bag for Stephanie's bridal shower, since they'll be living in Seattle, I thought she should have one, can't use plastic in Seattle! But I'm really hoping the straps don't stretch too much! I hope she can get some use out of it.

Childrens Washcloths

I saw some knitted lion washcloths on crafters the other day and wanted to try and crochet them. This is my version:
I'd like to make a few more, but I will do the face a little different, more embroidery on them. I like that they are little too, for little hands.

Favorite Tie Purse So Far.....

I just finished this purse today, I love how it came out, it's going to be another one that I hate to get rid of.................but I really will hardly ever use it, so I'll send it to WA, see if it will sell. Maybe my friend Zonia will want to keep this one for herself.

On the bottom under the points I put ties going the other direction, I didn't want there to be a seem across the ties so I attached them to the liner.

On the inside I made a couple of pockets from one of the left over ties.

First pair of socks?

They're supposed to be socks anyway! I followed the directions and it said to go all the way to the middle of the heel before making the space for the heel, when I make them again, I will go to where my heel starts and add the space there. I think these would fit someone with a size 10 foot better. Plus I was thinking this yarn would be thin enough for socks but now that they are done I think I need even thinner yarn, these are more like slipper socks. Oh well............
