I am going to Post a WorkBasket Sweater

I have a crocheted sweater with adorable long fringe that I used a workbasket pattern for. I  used black sparkle yarn, I believe it's a Herschnerr's color and yarn. It will take about 5 regular skiens or 2 1 lb skeins of worsted weight yarn and H-J crochet hooks. It has a ribbed hem with crocket edging around the neck and large fringes down the front.

Here is a fun page of older fashions, yet by blending a more modern fiber and color palette you won't look dated by spinning off from the patterns.

Sourced from eBay.
This photo is like my sweater but my sweater is closed in the front with cuff ribbing at the ends of the sleeves. It is a little dressy. This sells for $5000 on eBay!
Pictures of mine and helpful instructions coming soon. Sweater requires no knitting and no embellishments such as buttons, snaps or ribbon. Entirely yarn and crochet.

Do Not Smoke, No Smoking, E-Cigs - Get Your E-Cigs: Smoking Nightmares

How to Quit?

1. Don't rush. Don't mind if it takes two or three or even four years to accomplish.
2. Continue to smoke some but use a nicotine removing product at all times.
   2b. Live it up and smoke brands that are exciting this is your last smoking venture before you hang it    up and live better.
3. Nicorette. (regular flavor as it seems like real tobacco the best)
      3b. Live it up and try some cigarellos (cigars) between the gum, just smoke far less than you used      to.
4. Nourishment--vitamin supplements for your favorite ailment, like Niacin for cholesterol, Biotin for beauty, B6 for cellulite control, multi-vitamins for weight loss like one-a-day, gumie vitamins with zinc for colds--study, experiment.
5. Raw vegetables such as whole tomatoes, cucumbers, slaw, edamame ... .
6. Popsicles and ice.


Nicotine removing products include lava packed cartridges and filter tips. These typically last through several or a few cigarettes each.

Learn to collect ice trays in interesting shapes and make extra ice. Store it in a plastic cookie jar in the freezer. The trays can be used to make fruit drink ice cubes to spice up your beverages.

Make your own pudding frozen treats with boxed instant pudding. For a four serving pack use 3 cups of milk instead of two and for 6 servings use 4.5-5 cups of milk at least 1% fat is just right for this. This makes plenty of low calorie low fat treats for your money.
