Brittanie's Afghan

                                Measures 43" X 52"

Afghan was made for our Granddaughter Brittanie, who contacted me on
facebook and asked me to make her a special afghan. I said what colors
do you want Brittanie, she said Hot Floresent Pink & Purple, Lime Green
and black.  These colors were as close as I could get at time I purchased
the yarn. This is honeydew green because they didn't have the lime green
when I bought yarn.

 This truly is pretty if it wern't for the black's..  However having said that
kids seem to like the black so I added as little as I could get away with...

Ribbed Slippers

This is my all time favorite slipper pattern. It is NOT one of my patterns, but my all time favorite, These are slippers I make for Christmas each year.

~~~~~~~~~~

These slippers fit my feet with sock on and I wear a size 9. (Read not at bottom of page) If you wear a different size (as I JMSQ do)  you will need to either decrease or increase the number of rows on round 4-17. These slippers are very warm and the ribbing at the top keeps your ankles warm too. Enjoy.

WW Yarn         E & G Hook's

Materials:
1 - 8oz. cool whip bowl
1 - 6" cardboard circle (Optional) Read NOTES
1 - 11" Fashion doll w/ legs removed
15 pearl beads (optional)
Darning Needle

St's. Used:
Sc, Hdc, Dc, [BL = back loops only, FL = Front Loops only]
2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc (shell made)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE's:
It is easier to work ruffles on outside of trinket box bottom & Ruffles
BEFORE constructing them together 

The reason the row's are made in BL's is so you can get creative and
use these rounds to attach your ruffles. [WORK RUFFLES BEFORE COMPLETING PATTERN]

Using cardboard gives you a flat bottom, not using cardboard makes a nice pillow
bottom, both work nicely with Trinket Box.

Linda's Christmas Stocking

   These are some of the Stockings I've made from this pattern over the years. Stocking on right is smaller, perfect for Headstart

   This is NOT one of my {"JMSQ"} original patterns, This is an older pattern, my copy is dated back to 03... and I am un-able to get it to open from the archives of Riverly.
   This is a perfect stocking pattern and I want to share with you. 2 sizes, one large and the smaller one (right side of photo)  perfect for headstart program

                       My "JMSQ"s changes in this pattern are noted in (  )


This pattern works up quickly and looks great. I like to use the same
color for the toe and heel and then do stripes through out as the need
or want arises. It makes the stocking look more interesting and uses
up a lot of scrap Christmas yarn.

MATERIALS:
Assorted Christmas colors of WW Yarn

G hook (I use an H hook)

Note: The toe color could be changed after row 4 to the body color of stocking.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Ch 4, join with sl st to form ring. ch 3

Row 1: 12 dc in ring, join with sl st to top of ch 3

Row 2: 2 dc in each dc around, join with sl st to top of ch 3

Row 3: 2 dc in 1st dc, *1 dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, *repeat around
ending with 1 dc in last dc and join as before. Ch 3

Row 4-12: 1 dc in each dc around. Join as before and ch 3
**(change color for heel after row 4)


Change For Heel:

Rwo 13: 1 dc in each dc to within last 12 dc.. ch 3 and turn

Row 14-19: Repeat row 13 by doing 1 dc in each dc of heel row. Fasten off,
fold heel in half right sides together and sew up the back of heel for the
seam.

Change for body:
Attach yarn to heel at seam line, ch 3

Row 1: 1 dc in joining and 13 more evenly spaced around heel rows to 1st
free dc of in steep, dc in each in step dc; 14 dc evenly spaced around heel
rows. Join with a sl st to 1st dc. ch 3

Row 2-21:
1 dc in each dc. Join as before and ch 3 making sure to do a ch 10 for
hanging in the position you want it in the last row. Fasten off and weave
in the ends.

(*NOTE:)
Because I use an H hook, I "JMSQ" work this same pattern to row 12,
THEN I change colors the last 4 rows for trim Plus 1 row for ruffle

(*Note: I work trim after row 12)
Last few rows you can change to personalize the stocking by doing
a popcorn stitch or even a loopy stitch or even sc so that you can
embroider a name on the stocking
