Rainbow Bike Basket

Crochet! magazine just published a special issue called :"Gifts to Go"
It has several great projects inside to take with you when you "crochet on the go".

Here is my design from Page 55 - Rainbow Bike Basket:

I designed this while on vacation last summer.  I love the colors of the rainbow and thought it would be fun to have a project that not only can be "made on the go" but also then "taken on the road"!

My daughters love to ride their bikes when the weather is warm.  I enjoy taking a peek in their bike baskets to see what kind of treasures they store inside.  One day last summer my youngest had proudly toted cherries from a neighbor's tree, her drink cup of juice and a play camera. :)

Perhaps if you get a chance to stitch up this cute project, the little girl who uses it will have many hours of fun toting her "stuffed friends" and more.

Lilac Shrug with Celtic Knot

One of my daughters also loves Celtic Knots like I do. So, for her birthday a couple of months ago I made her this shrug.

I used Caron's Simply Soft in the color Blackberry.
It is a beautiful color and looks great on my daughter.

I first made the knot and then worked around it with a mesh stitch.
My daughter loved wearing it to her birthday party.
