UPDATE: I'm working on writing up a pattern for this scarf right now and hope to have it ready to post by the end of the week.
How about just a show and tell for a change. I made this scarf yesterday for my granddaughter, Gracie, for Christmas. I'm not sure I'll write up a pattern for it. I don't know how to explain the loop stitch so I'm stumped on how to write the pattern.
It's made with Red Heart Super Saver, color 0317 Reef Stripe. Took just slightly more than a 6 oz skein.

DOT'S HALL OF FAME
I love getting pictures from people showing me projects they made from my patterns and I want to share them with everyone else. I decided to set up another blog just for show and tell. If you have pictures you'd like to share email me at bythehook7647 at yahoo dot com (no spaces of course) and attach your pictures and tell me a little something about your project. Be sure to tell me you want to share your picture in Dot's Hall of Fame. I moved some of the show and tell from this blog to the new blog. I decided to start with the pictures I've received in the last few weeks. If you've sent pictures before and would like to have them included in the new Dot's Hall of Fame, please send them again and I'll be sure to post them. Thanks everyone, I love hearing from you. Happy hookin'!

Work the second and subsequent rounds in the spaces made by the ch-1 of the
previous round.
CLUSTER: (yo, insert hook in same ch-1 sp, yo, pull up a loop) 2 times,
yo, pull thru all 5 loops on hook.
REVERSE HDC (worked from left to right): yo, insert hook in st to the right, yo,
pull up a loop, yo, pull thru all 3 loops on hook.
Pattern Notes: beginning chain counts as a stitch, but do not join in it.
ROUND 1: ch 3, 11 dc in first ch. Join in first dc. Place a marker where round is
joined. (11 dc, 1 ch-2)
ROUND 2: ch 2, 2 dc in same st as join, *2 dc in next st. Repeat from * around. 1
dc in joining st of round 1. Remove marker. Join in first dc. (23 dc, 1 ch-2)

next st. Repeat from * around. End with 2 dc in last st. Join in first dc. (35 dc, 1 ch-2)

Now I can finally say I've been published. I received my copy of The New Crochet by Terry Taylor today and I was thrilled, to say the least. I was so excited when Terry first contacted me about publishing one of my patterns and totally amazed by his choice of patterns to publish.
Does anyone remember this...
Terry wanted it done in another color and yarn, so here's what I submitted to him...
He put it in his book...
on page 32, and here it is...
Hats look so much better on people than on foam heads.
Now, if only my 2006 Pattern a Day Calendar would arrive.

If you can't see the pictures in my patterns, try this.
Click on TOOLS on the menu bar
click on INTERNET OPTIONS
click on the ADVANCED tab
scroll down to MULTIMEDIA
Make sure there is a check mark in the SHOW PICTURES block.
if there isn't one, click on the box and then click on OK. That should fix your problem.
One of my readers said this fixed her problem. I wish I could remember who it was, but unfortunately I deleted her email instead of saving it. I have a problem with clicking the wrong buttons at the wrong times.

LIL' DARLIN' SHOW AND TELL
I want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to the people who tested this pattern for me. I appreciate all the suggestions you made.
The following are pictures of the Lil' Darlin' Sweater made by people who have tested this pattern.
Patty in MI said...I made the Lil Darling sweater. It is adorable, and so easy to follow the directions. It only took 2 partial days. Hope you like it. You may put it in your site if you want. Patty in MI
Beth says..."it's about 7 inches long and the sleeves are about 6 inches long. I don't think it will fit the size you think. I've started another one that's quite a bit bigger."
Val says..."I frogged the first sweater when I got through with the body cause my guage was so far off that it wouldenet even fit my 3 week old I am useing caron simply soft and a J hook...The body of the sweater is 7 1/2 inches long, from armpit to armpit it is 10 1/4 inches long, and the sleeve is 6 1/4 inches includeing the ribbing."
Bharathi says..."Thank you for allowing me to test your pattern.I am using LionBrand,Pound of Love,super soft,4 ply,a gift from my friend...,and H Hook.The tension works out right..."
