Out Of Touch, But Not Out Of Work

Hello friends...I apologize for the time I have been away from the computer.  I had to crochet until my fingers blisted in order to get my entry together for the CGOA Design Competition.  I will be revealing pictures of the "Silent Wisdom" hoodie soon...along with the pattern to create it!  In the meantime, let me share one of my other projects that I recently finished; it is a bag that uses half and single crochet.
 
 
The yarn I used is Red Heart Plush in Coconut and Blueberry.  I sewed the 20 inch zipper in by using Dritz Wonder Tape to hold it in place, and I set my Bernina sewing machine to have a longer stitch to accomodate the fluffy texture.  This fits a 0-6 month old child.  The hdc I used keeps it from taking forever to make, but the stitch is still dense enough with the Plush yarn to make it cozy and cuddly for Little D.
