) what are you making?

**daddys3chicks** · 10-31-2005, 08:58 AM

Well, I am making (crocheting) angel outfits for 2 baby dolls for my Mom & Sister. I am also making (crocheting) a wardrobe for 2 more baby dolls for my girls. I am going to attempt to make chart afghans for Amanda & Katie's teachers if I can get the yarn. I have a pattern to knit a sweater for DH, but again I have to get the yarn. I am making a lot of crocheted dish cloths for little gifts as well.

**daddys3chicks** · 10-31-2005, 09:10 AM

No, not too hard - just small! LOL! But, they are a great way to get the idea for crocheting larger items!

I just learned to knit and am on my 3rd scarf. DH sewed pillows for the corn bags (we made 33). And, I'm determined to learn crocheting!! Bought a 'I taught myself how...' book that came with lots of hooks. Dh wants an afghan, so with any luck I can have him one at Christmas.

**waterlover** · 10-31-2005, 09:51 AM

I'm crocheting a cap for DH, an afghan to stay warm this winter and a scarf for myself.

**favesis37** · 10-31-2005, 09:53 AM

I've made all my christmas cards, some notebooks, I've made up some gift baskets and I'm in the process of making some wooden candle holders and lamps.

**favesis37** · 10-31-2005, 11:07 AM

what kinda bears do you make

**Katybird** · 10-31-2005, 12:23 PM

I hope to get some lap quilts finished up and I plan on making quillows for my niece and nephews.

**pita1213** · 10-31-2005, 04:33 PM

made some crocheted dishclothes and hot pads for gift baskets. dd and ds are getting crocheted scarves, dd is getting a crocheted poncho, hopefully ds afghan will finally be finished. i made a scarf for dd's bitty baby and am working on a poncho for her . those will go in dd's stocking. if i have time i'll make a scarf and poncho for her american girl doll as well.

if i have time, i'm going to make burden bears for my mom, sis and mil. someone had posted a link to them here somewhere. i found a pattern called boo boo bear on a free pattern site that works up pretty quick so i'll use that for the bear then i just have to write up the poem. i made one for dh's grandmother and i made a little granny square size blankie for the bear to hold. it's really cute.

i'm trying to figure out what else i can make for dks' stockings, but still can't come up with more.

nephew is getting the crayon cookies i posted before and maybe some melt and pour soap if i can find a toy to put inside it that he won't choke on.
