Revisiting Vacation.....sigh!

As previously stated we went on a mini vacation at Greg's timeshare in Scottsdale.  This vacation I got more done than ever before. Yesterday's post "Carolyn's Wedding Afghan" (put the finishing touches on that) and today's post my earrings.

This month's crochet and knit publications have been fantastic: Vogue Knitting, Interweave Crochet, Creative Knitting and Crochet Today, just fabulous.  I made 3 pairs of earrings based on or exactly the Fiesta Earrings pattern out of Crochet Today. The first pair (no picture yet) were made for and given to Vicky Konecky the owner of Grandma's Spinning Wheel.  My 2nd pair I finished up on vacation but I tweeked the pattern, it's the pink & ecru pair. My 3rd pair I made like the 2nd but did 3 colors ecru, orange, and brown, these looked great with my bathing suit. The earrings are great for the pool, getting them wet does no harm. All the earrings were either made using some old this and that crochet thread I already had or Nazli Gelin Garden thread.

There is more to come on the projects I finished on vacation......
