Silk Scarf..... in Blue!
Shhhh.... we are not supposed to notice that it looks like blue is my fave color.
The yarn is so soft and lovely, of course, from Silkindian. Pattern is mine, crocheted with E hook(US) 3.50mm.
Lol! My naughty little Winnie thought it was for him, when he heard me saying this is for somebody special! Silly Bear!!

My Achievement!
This is a project I worked for some years. Never thought I would ever finish it. It is called "A Gracious Era" by Alan Maley, a counted cross stitch kit from Dimensions Gold Collection.
I had promised to make it for my son when he was in college. Married and with two children and settled in Seattle now, he got it for his birthday last year. It now adorns the wall above his fireplace!
I'm happy to say I have started on my next Gold Collection, hoping I will finish it in less time.
Nostalgia!
I made this vest some years ago, with leftover yarns. I look at it now and each one brings memories of the original projects they were a part of. What happy days!
My older daughter had claimed and I had forgotten about it. One day my aunt asked me if I had a pattern for a vest and I searched for a picture of this one. I realised this was before the days of my owning a digital camera. I asked my daughter for a picture and here it is!

Missing Links!
Hmmmm..... I just felt this strange feeling. See, I actually feel my feelings, unlike some people I know:)
I checked the blog and found out my feelings were not lying. It wasn't that I did not craft in the missing years, but I had ignored my finished projects and let them go into the anonymity of my closet.
They decided enough is enough and have claimed their rightful place. I will try and post them all slowly and if at all possible, chronologically.
