Cebtral Ohio Binky Patrol...

Hi!


Lately I have been crocheting squares for the BINKY PATROL...:-)


Tonight I started a Baby Blanket... It looks green here... but it's really a pale blue. It's made by Lion Brand VANNA WHILE... called Silver Blue. I like the stitch... ( I think I'll be making something for here with it later. )

  1. Oh, yes, it's a very pretty stitch (kind of like shells, right?) and it looks so soft...it'll be so pretty when you're done. I can tell.

  8. Susan thank you for the Birthday Wishes~~going backwards I am 4 yrs old now..lol. Celebrating "Life" is wonderful.

    Thank you so much for the pattern I copied it and will pick up some yarn and try the stitch today.

    I finished the baby afghan in yellow I was doing for our niece -due jan 6th 2011. Glad it is done and will box it to mail this week.

    We went and saw the movie "RED" yesterday with Barry, DD Rose and herbf Kelly. It was good...alot of stars in it. Bruce Willis, Helen Merrin, Morgan Freeman & more.

    Went to dinner at the Draft House(a microbrewery by our home). I had a pulled pork sandwich n fries, Barry had a Philly sandwich n fries. Yummy! No booze.

    Barry is at work today so I will stitch, crochet and read some. A lovely day-alittle cooler..yippee.

  11. Reina,
    The pattern says to use a I Hook... But you could probably just use whatever your yarn calles for.
