the month of May-hem....
For the babies..... Shirts for the babies....these are some shirts that I crocheted for the "little ones" of TTT.
The yarn is LB microspun (a very soft and cuddly yarn) and the pattern is from my favorite pattern site - "dear Bev's" at Bev's Country Cottage.
Thank you so much Bev for being such a wonderful source of charity crafting patterns and info.
Would you like to make some too? I know that there is a NICU near you that would just love to have some of these for their babies. And they are such fun to make.
It is a wonderful pattern (easy too!). You can find it here. http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/baby-shirt.htmlMake a few and donate them to a near-by hospital - they will love them!
PRAYER SHAWLSThis is a crocheted prayer shawl that I made for a friend of mine and hubby's that is battling cancer right now.
It was crocheted using an "N" hook and LB Homespun yarn.
The pattern is just a simple hdc but it makes a very warm and soft piece.
Prayers going out for you ES - May God be with you in your battles and bring you through them with great victory.

I have two other prayer shawls started for some other friends that are also battling cancer. So many dear people are dealing with this dreadful disease. I pray for a cure really soon.
AC4C Projects ...
These knitted booties were for the May AC4C project.
They are knitted in Patron's Wool (yes I said wool). We were making items for an Indian Rez and it is very cold there so they needed warm items for the little ones.
The colors are Too Teal and Too Pink and are knitted using Beth's pattern. I love this pattern - it makes a simple but very neat and warm bootie.
Want to try it? You can find it here. http://bundlesoflove.org/EasyKnittedBooties
I also knitted some squares for afghans for the AC4C May project (but forgot to take pics before I mailed them). But they were just simple squares so you didn't really miss much (hee-hee)
I have also gotten so hooked on dishcloths. A wonderful yahoo group called "Monthly Dishcloths" does two KAL each month. I will post some photos of the ones that I have completed soon.
Well...I guess that is all the may-hem for now so I will roll out. Until next time....knit on!
And to all the victims of the floods, tornado, hurricanes and fires - you are in our prayers.
