White As Snow

I've been working on this crochet project every once in a while and finished it last week. My Grandmother was in town so I had lots of time to sit and crochet while visiting.

All-in-all I am pretty happy with it and since I didn't use any pattern I think it turned out pretty well. :-) Next I want to attempt a vintage pattern but I'll need help with it and I don't know when my sister will have enough time, things being pretty busy right now. :-)

Now for pictures....

Greenness...

A crocheted sweater that used to be a hideous green color but after two packages of dye is now a wonderful dark green. I don't have before pictures but it used to be this color:

And now....

Samples of crochet.

I've been playing around with making lace samples without a pattern. So far I haven't come up with anything really grand but I liked these two enough to share them here. I'll keep trying and maybe I'll even succeed in making something truly beautiful.

Note: these weren't blocked and I think they would look much better if they were.
