Here are a few of the early projects I created during the 80s and early 90s. I have actual pictures (from that time period) of these and scanned them in so the quality may not be that great as the pictures are so old. Digital cameras now have us spoiled.

This ghan was made for our dear friend Bruce Baker for Christmas 1996. I used about 30 ozs worsted weight yarn and an I hook. The completed afghan was 46" 75.

I THINK the pattern is Coral Waves in the book Afghan Favorites by The Needlecraft Shop, c1994, editor Loretta Blevins. It is on p. 18-19. I'm not positive this is the pattern I used. The book pattern calls for 43 ounces of yarn in 3 colors. It is the afghan shown on the cover of the book.
 

I can't remember who got this ghan. In any case, it  took about 36 ozs worsted weight acrylic yarn. The pattern is Colonial Ripple from the Second Big Book of Afghans. It's a one-piece dc ripple.

 


This ghan was donated to the St. Mark fair booth where my MIL worked before she passed away. The pattern is called Granny Ripples. I think this may have been from Afghans magazine but not positive.

This ghan was also donated to the St. Mark fair booth where my MIL worked before she passed away. It used 26 ozs of worsted weight yarn and an I hook. finished size was 40 x 60. Pattern is Open Weave Afghan. Can't remember which book or magazine this was in. Might have been one I borrowed from the library at the time, but I'm not sure. We didn't have much money then so I didn't have a lot of pattern books.

 

This ghan went to Connor Chancellor,new baby son of fellow church member Phyllis Chancellor. I don't remember the pattern

This is another one of those I-don't-know afghans. It's done in greens and white. That's as much as I can tell you. *grin*
 

This is another one of those mystery afghans. I know I made it for someone, but can't remember who. :-) I didn't make any notations on the picture, so I also don't know which pattern or yarn this is.

 

This afghan was given to my WONDERFUL OB-GYN who took care of me while I was pregnant for Kate. I began the pregnancy with a different doctor, whom I wasn't happy with, and changed to

This was my first crochet sale about 1983. I worked at Cox Cable in Customer Service (phones) and Kenny Scullen, one of my co-workers, asked if I'd make two afghans for him to give as gifts. This was a basic granny square. I don't recall who he gave it to but he seemed pleased with the result.

I sold at least one other to Kenny but I apparently don't have a picture or it is not labeled.

 


These were made at the request of my friend, Karen. I made several afghans for Karen to give as gifts.

The pattern is the Beginner's Luck pattern, from Brunswick leaflet #768 "Knit and Crochet Afghans". It uses 40 ozs of yarn. I used 8 oz ea of 5 colors and an H hook. These were 52 x 70".

 

 

This one was requested by Karen for her nephew in Pennsylvania. Pattern is Painted Desert from Quick and Cozy Afghans, one of my favorite books. I used a K hook. This was done in July 1996.

This is a baby afghan, a pink bib, and a toilet paper holder. I don't know why they're pictured together. LOL Just showing off, I guess. I also don't recall which sweet baby got this, but it was long ago. I think the pattern may have been the Two Step Baby Afghan.

This was a baby gift for my niece. The center square is done in afghan stitch with an elephant design done in cross-stitch. The other squares are white and navy blue granny squares worked in the traditional granny. At each corner I've pictured some baby bibs I crocheted.
The pattern is the Daphne Coverlet from
Afghans magazine, Spring 1984
 

This is from a leaflet I had many years ago, probably Leisure Arts. It is not squares, but a change of color every so many rows. The joining is unique. I've never done another like it. As I recall, the yarn was held to the front and alternated from one side to the other.

The buttons above were my first at the Cabana. I keep them for sentimental reasons. :-)
