I was able to put my down time to good use while in San Diego...busy
hands are happy hands! I finished the bolero and gave it to Cindy,
which was no big chore as I only needed to weave in the ends. It sure
looks cute on her!

Baby Sweater #2
This is another of my own creations, with the help of Casual Boucle by Sensation's yarn from JoAnne's. I did not make the turtleneck! The yarn is a dream because it crochets into a light fabric instead of the bulk you are expecting. Instead of a chunky sweater this one is light and thin and airy. I love the way it made polka dots all on it's
own! I suppose it could almost pass for Fair Isle crochet. I'm going back for more of this (when it is on sale) to buy enough to make a sweater for my Sisters. Perhaps one for each of us so we can have our photo taken in "look alike" sweaters!

Although these are the same two sweaters, the do look a bit different
in color. The second darkest one with the sleeves unrolled is the
true color. This is a bulky yarn from Lion's Brand called Homespun in
a cranberry color. Don't remember the real color name. It works up
quickly, but takes a bit more than one skein for an 18 month sweater.
I bought several to make some for myself in variegated colors of
greens and blues so hope to make a V-neck sweater some day for me!
