| Sweet preemeie blanket and hat. I too wonder what wimples are. Trying to picture a person wearing their wimple with no luck, lol. Good for both of you for using your skills for the good of other people! kathy |

| Good to see your creations again hugs...I miss seeing your pretty things... |
|
| I didn't have a clue what a wimple was either so searched and found this site. Wouldn't it muss your hair to put it on? ivamae |
Here is a link that might be useful: pattern for wimple

| Thanks Ivamae, duh, I did not think to google wimple.. humm not sure if the babies could use this.. but it is neat. Huggy |
|
| Does a wimple have a hole in it for your face? Like a hood, I guess! I wouldn't put wool on a baby (or me-allergic) Interesting tho!! Jan |
|
| It appears it it meant to be used in place of a scarf. I'm tempted to try one. |
|
| That is so nice and nice of you!! Oh, how I wished I knew how to crochet! Great job!! |

| amberscu, you can learn how to crochet, it is easy.. I taught myself.. and that was before computers etc.. almost before TV but not quite. My aunt use to knit and so she tried to teach me how to knit.. only learn a little of knitting, enough to make a scarf or hat...but when I learned how to crochet.. I went wild.. I made afghans, hats, baby blankets, sold a ton of adult afghans and throws.. Lion Brand yarn has a 5 &1/2 hour throw that you make with three strands of yarn held together and a size Q hook.. I made a lot of them and sold for $45.00 to $60.00 each .. cost me about $15.00 dollars to make.. depending on where I found the yarn on sale.. and of course I make the smaller throws for the old folks in homes. I do not put the fringe on them as the older folks can get caught up in the fringe and fall. I just think making crafty things is good for the soul.. and also good for your nerves. A good cup of coffee or Tea and hooks and yarn .. good way to relax.. Huggy |
