Cat's New Bolero

I was smart enough to purchase the crochet book, "Everyday Crochet" by
Doris Chan. She has some of the cutest "lace" patterns for tops - and
even though they are a bit complicated, they are worth the time. I
finished this one as a "try out" to see if I could make the pattern
- using a bit of yarn that I would not have used had I figured I would
actually finish it and like it! However, it goes with lots of tops
and a pair of jeans, and looks pretty good. I still have not decided
as to whether or not I will put any buttons or closures on it, so it
is what it is for now.

Toe-Up Socks for me!

This is from the Interweave Crochet magazine. Summer '08. I didn't
look it up on the internet, but there has to be an errata on
it...calls for two rows of white in the pattern for the hands/paws,
but when looking at the photo in the magazine it is quite obvious that
there were three. Other little details are off, too, so if you like
him and want to make him, make sure you check for the errata first!

I made this for Amy Jo, but he is so cute I might keep him for myself!
