Grandmother's 90th

My grandmother will be turning 90 years old this month. My aunt asked me to create a card to send out  to her friends and family so they could call or write her a note.

Christmas Gifts

This year we budgeted much less for our Christmas gifts, so I decided to knit a few things, as well as learn to crochet a little.

For my sister-in-law, I knitted an infinity scarf with some crocheted flowers.

I asked one of our friends to model it:

For my 2 year-old niece, a little button-up scarf:

Crocheted Scarf for my other sister-in-law:

I made it from the instructions for this 'scale' or 'crocodile' stitch:

I just started a 'swirl' scarf, but I wanted it to have more of a lacy look
