Five on Friday

March 20, 2015

I am happy to be joining Amy from Love Made My Home for her Five on Friday Series. 

I'm taking five minutes of my day to share five things:
1)  I am working on this knitted neck warmer and I've made a little bit of progress from last week.  I won the yarn from a giveaway that KimM at Wisdom with Needle and Thread had from the Grow Your Blog Event.  This yarn is soft to work with and I love it.  Thanks Kim for the lovely yarn.  I am happy to say that I am working on this scarf for myself.  


2)  This is a crocheted granny square neck warmer that I made.  I crocheted 3 granny squares with 8 rows each and then I single crocheted them together.  I crocheted a border around it all using single crochet and then I crocheted a pull using the chain stitch.  I will be donating this for our church Christmas Fair that we have every November.


3)  Here is a chunky blue neck warmer that I made.  I crocheted this using the half double crochet stitch in the back loop.   I'm donating this for the Christmas Fair.


4)  I made another neck warmer using soft chunky pink yarn.  I crocheted this using the half double crochet stitch in the back loop.  I made this to donate to the fair.



5)  Here is a crocheted shawl that I started working on last week.  I am making this shawl using the half granny square.  This is the first time that I'm crocheting a shawl and I do hope it will come out nice using different colors of yarn.  This too I'm making to donate to the fair.

That is my update on my knitting and crocheting I have been doing lately.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a nice weekend.




I will be sharing this with Amy from Love Made My Home for her Five on Friday link party that she is hosting.

    I love the yarn on the knitted neck warmer you're making now, and everything looks great, as always, but that shawl!! That's going to be amazing when it's done!

    They are all so pretty and you are such a good person to donate these for the church fair. Hopefully you won't need these until next year.
    Have a great week end Julie

    They are all so lovely, Julie and how kind of you to donate them! The baby sweater I am crocheting is done with the half double crochet in the back stitch, too! I have never done this stitch before, but I am pleased with how it is turning out. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. xo Karen

    Your crochet hook must be smoking with the amount of projects you have going Julie. There are going to be some very warm and stylish necks walking around NYC! xx

    No wonder you have such a huge bag to donate at the end of the year! I remember marveling at how much you donated last year. Very generous of you Julie. And the yarn you won is beautiful. Looks very soft.
    I have only made 1 1/2 dishcloths the whole winter - haha!
    Hope you're having a good weekend. xo

    Wow, Julie all of it looks really nice especially the granny neck warmer. My mom does a lot of knitting and crocheting too. She's knitting a top for me and can't wait to see it. I've done a couple of dish towels but nothing like this. Cheers and have a wonderful weekend!

    Beautiful pieces, especially love the first one. I came upon your site through your guest post @ Sarah's. I've been trying to follow you, but cannot find a follow button. I'm stuck on a knitting project and would love to be inspired again. What charities do you knit for? Would love to do that too.
