Logan's Dolly

This is a doll I made for Logan, a little girl I take care of. I made it for her when she was about 3 years old, she's now 8. It was the first doll I made and it was relatively easy, with a little help from my niece Suzy, and I enjoyed making it. I am now going to teach Logan to make her own doll. I will post the finished project but it may take a while as she is a busy bee.

Christine's Crochet

This is a blanket I am working on at the moment for 2 year old Connor's crib. It is a single crochet stitch that knits up quickly. I crochet to the end, turn it over and start again. I would normally go around and around in a big square. I will post on the Craft Basket when I have finished the project.
