Happy Hoodie Baby Sweater

Recently my SIL gave birth to a baby and i wanted to gift a sweater and so checked on sm patterns i had frm "Cute crochet for tiny tots"by Helen Ardley..my sis had gt it for me....

I wanted to do a hooded one , n so tis pattern lukd apt ....bt i was really tensed ifi cud finish off with te exixting wool i had ...bt luckily i found a local yarn shop here n the blue thread which i wanted.....

Along with the sweater i send an afghan which i had already made before for my son, with the same colur combi...both went perfectly togther ...had posted the afghan pics bfore....Here is the link..http://ashes-in-the-rain.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-baby-afghan-ready.html

AND here is a pic of what i sent for the baby....

Basically its all single crochet throuhout and the stripes was what attracted me to try it out....The pattern used white n red stipes which ws very gud,, bt i had tse colours oly of baby wools....
And i was fascinated wit te hood too coz havent tried anything wit a hood till now n to my surprise , tat was te easiest part....

Heres a closer look...

Crochet anklet

We recently had a beach party..n i very badly wanted an anklet n i really wanted it to be a crocheted one., n finally i made it!

i needed sm beads to add on, bt  dint hv ne....so i took one of my old earrings hoops n pulled it apart....n used te beads of tat....
i put in the beads in the thread (pink cotton varigated) through the other end, n took one bead at a time for one stitch with the crochet hook....came out easily.....just have to get te hang of taking te beads one at a time..tre are lots of videos available for reference..

heres te end result

i used single crochet ..one row throughout , n do according te desired  length ....i planned to wear a pink dress , n so took to tis colour thread.....   :)
