Plarn coaster

For this I cut the plastic bags in a continuous strip, making it thinner and used a G hook and it was much easier to work with.  I like the plarn coaster as my cups don't stick to it like it does with cotton yarn.

Now, if I were wanting to make another basket or a bag I would probably use the loop method for cutting the bag as I did in the basket simply because it makes for a sturdier product.

I made two round coasters but didn't take any pictures of them.

Poncho for Kylie

I had this huge ball of Sensations Rainbow yarn in pinks and I had made a couple of hats with it, but then it sat for years taking up space.  Spring is coming and I thought I'd make ponchos for the girls and I finally used this yarn.  I still have a bunch of it left.  It doesn't seem to run out.

Two Barbie Dresses

 I've made what seems like a ton of dresses for Barbie for my grand daughters and I am able to stitch some up without a pattern which these two dresses are made.  I have one grand daughter who loves the dresses and she always thinks they are beautiful and I love making them for her.

I never played with dolls when I was a girl, but I now own two Barbie dolls.  Hey, I have to be able to try on the dresses as I make them.

Bobble Headband

I'm using up my scrap yarn so I've been making headbands/earwarmers and I made this one for my grand daughter. Could have been a bit smaller. I don't seem to be able to gauge the size for headbands.

I used Bernat Premium and followed this pattern.
