A Scarf? Or a Shrug? It's Both!

Ripple Lapghan

My mother-in-law is 87yrs-young and her eyesight is not so good as before.
I crocheted this colourful ripple lapghan specially for her. I know she will love it.... tho' it is a little bit narrow!






I spent only 2 days to finish the crocheted ripple lapghan.

This fish afghan takes me forever!!
I started knitting in April~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ and I am still "fishing"~~~~
I think I still need 7 more.

The Beauty Of Maths

Received this via email from MK yesterday...........
Interesting!



1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?
And finally, take a look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=123456789 87654321

Seraphina Shawl

This is the Seraphina Shawl I made for a friend.
It is easy and can be used as a scarf too.

The pattern: Seraphina’s Shawl

Pen & Pad Holder

Today- 8th of Sept's Anniesattic's free pattern of the day is
the Pen & Pad Holder.

I found that there some mistakes in the instructions given.
On the last row (joining row) I used "sc" instead of "dc" and my yarn is too soft to hold a heavy note pad.











This is my way of doing a granny square-- I will start a new row here at the corner....





.... and end the row here..

Shannon and her Capelet

My future dil Shannon carrying this handsome cutie Elly, her friend's son.

My ds Kenny and Shannon....such a lovely couple, don't you agree??

My Cutest Mittens Luggage Tag

This pair of "cutest mittens" was actually sent to one of my knitting groups for the "Cutest Mitetns" contest. The contest was cancelled later.

No pattern for this.
You can see the "star" chart I used on the background of the 2nd pic.

Pineapple Jacket (c)

A crocheted pineapple/net-stitch- jacket made for a friend in New Zealand.

I am going to visit her in November and thought I would give her something which is hand-made.






The pattern is from a Japanese book with symbol crochet.
