I wish I had a good picture of the all white set

so that you could compare them.

It was really sweet,

but the COLOR

makes this set

FABULOUS!!!

The pattern is in my

The Complete Guide to Thread Crochet

book.

If you'd like to look at it, click on my favorite resources page at the top and then click on the book.   Amazon might have some of the pages up for you to look at.  The book has one baby set, the beige sweater I made, as well as lots of other fine projects.  

Crochet Thread Floral Baby Bonnet and Bootie Set-Purple

TA DA!!!

Sooo sweet!  :)

Crochet Thread Floral Baby Bonnet and Bootie Set-Pink & Black

I am SO excited about the colors I used

this time with the Baby Set in the

Complete Guide to Thread Crochet

Leisure Arts #3225.  

And I will continue

to experiment with colors for it,

so STAY TUNED!

This is how it all started:

I chose this one:

And here are the end results of

this thread crochet decision:

The bonnet is assembled in an interesting

manner, beginning with a rectangle and

working decreases to create the back.

I think the black ribbon sets off

the flower motifs nicely!

In the words of Lightning McQueen

(which my boys just happen to be

watching right now),

KA-CHOW!!!

I was SO excited about this color

combo that I made TWO sets.

One for Allison Kay,

my new great-niece.

And one for Eliza Jane,

daughter of a family friend.

Out of the great loves of my life,

thread crochet and fresh babies

are in the top 10 list.

So when I can combine both,

YIPPEE!!!

As I said, STAY TUNED

for future color installments.

Up next, PURPLE COMBO!

(All thread is size 10
used with a size 7 hook.)

Caryn's Bonnet

I made this sweet bonnet

for my 1st great niece Caryn
and for a very good friend's baby.

It is the same bonnet I made for Ava, tweaked.

I wish the pictures had turned out better.
The pink variegated was so bright.

It was a beautiful contrast with the white.

Again, that book is:

As the title indicates,
this book has more than
just baby crochet.

It also has 2 nice sweater patterns,
one of which I'm working on, in beige.
It also has a doily pattern,
bookmark patterns, and more.

Ava's Outfit

I apologize in advance for the poor picture quality,

but I did want to show you this sweet set

I made for my niece, Ava.

I love the flower motifs designed into this set.
I also love the ruffle effect.
I haven't had much in the way
of ruffles, ribbons, or girly frills,
as you may imagine, since
I was blessed with 4 boys.

But I sure enjoy making sweet
things for other people's girls!
