Sewing Aprons and stuff

I thought I would share with you some of the projects i've been working on. I have a granny square crochet blanket that i've been working on for awhile, the only reason that it's not done is because I started other projects. My resolution for the year is to finish that blanket and I am almost done, YEA!!! I love making my own blankets, rugs, aprons, clothes etc... If you can make something instead of buying I think that adds such a quality to it, that you just cant get with mass produced household items. I am also working on a scarf to give as a gift, I just started knitting so this is just a basic knit stitch which is all I have attempted. Here's a picture of it







I started an apron on tuesday night and finished it on wednesday morning, it is McCall's pattern 2947 out of this pattern you can make 8 different aprons. I always try and go to joanns which is the fabric store here and get the patterns when they are on sale for .99 . I changed the pattern a little bit. It needed to be longer and I didn't want the neck to be a tie, so I just made it to slip over the neck.Also I changed the pocket to a rectangle.  Here is a picture of it in progress and finished.
