Tunisian Crochet blanket

From Shawnna: Here's the Tunisian crochet blanket that I'm doing - the technique is available for free from Stitchdiva here. And also here. The Stitchdiva actually produces the pattern I used - I used super bulky yarn, 19 mm Tunisian crochet hook and cast on...95 stitches (heheh I only have 93 now). It's fairly narrow so if I was going to do it again I'd probably cast on about 113....

Crochet Mousey

Hello Knitwits,
Here's the crochet mousey Shawnna emailed the group. From the Crochetville website. "The only thing I did differently since I wanted to give it to my cats was to embroider the eyes, rather than putting plastic eyes on it. I filled it with scrap bits of bubble wrap which makes the mouse crunchy."
Cheers & thanks Shawnna!

Wrist Warmers aka Fingerless Gloves

Hello Knitwits,
This is a free pattern that a friend gave me. I made one pair for myself last winter and wore them everyday. Fun to make, and more fun to wear ~ basically it's a rectangle that you sew into a tube, leaving a hole for your thumb. Fingerless glove pattern from Crystal Palace Yarns.
Cheers, Meg
