CROCHET COIN BAG
When I started this project, it was supposed to be a drawstring purse for my aunt.
When my little niece saw it, she asked, "Are you making this coin bag for me? "
so I made a front flap and my mom attached a macreme handle and it became her coin bag.
The scans are not so good and I can't make fresh scans as I don't have the bag.

PINK SWEATER IN AFGHAN CROCHET
My brother and his family are down here from Seattle. My sister-in -law got me some wool in soft pastels and pink. I decided to use the pink to make a sweater for their daughter.
Here's back side of the sweater. I put the fastening at the back.
The sweater begins at the front yoke. I worked the yoke in afghan stitch.
- for the body I worked 1 dc and 1 tr into each stitch skipping every 3rd stitch in the 1st round. 1 dc, 1 tr into each sc in the subsequent rounds.
You'll notice a differnce in pattern here and there - I just forgot to turn work and work in the opposite direction.
It was interesting the difference that made!
And finally for some embellishment - in brazillian style embroidery.
