baby blanket

I have recently finished a baby blanket.

I also used up a few scraps in the process double win in my books.

Below is a close up!

I made it in the round using the ripple pattern.

I started with black for the center.

then i moved on to white to separate all the colors for added pizzazz.

next i used panther pink, then purple then pink.

i really love this crochet afghan it would be perfect for anyone. just do a few more rounds and it would be a lovely throw over your couch, or on a bed.

scrappy crochet project

need an idea to use up some scraps?

whether you crochet or knit there always seem to be some lingering scraps.

I end up with lots of scraps and am always looking for new ideas to myself to use up these bits 

i mean after a bit they tend to take over and spill over.

Here is my choice to help deplete them this time.

a scrappy afghan.

now i am one who struggles with mixing so many colors. so i just grabbed as i went and kept telling myself it will be ok. haha

i made this really big for my daughter who loves multicolor items.

i love it because i have a small amount of scraps left to occupy precious space.

for now that is haha

i used a g hook and the granny stripe pattern

Afghan I finished

Here is the afghan I finished for my Hubby for Christmas! 

These are his favorite colors (NJ Devils)!

I love how it turned out, I made the pattern up and It worked up pretty quick. I love the color combo myself so it was pleasing to work on except at night when it gets difficult to work with black. lol

Hubby is 6' 5'' so it is rather large, I had planned on a throw, but a throw for a man that size ends up being large enough for a full size bed. But I loved making it!

It is a simple pattern, but looks as though it could be complicated, those are the ones I love!

Here is a close up of the stitches!

This afghan took me about 13 hours total to complete. 

Hope you all like it!

I know it is getting warm but...

I had to share this pretty afghan I finished! I work on it a little here and there and now it is complete! I may even break my tradition and start another instead of waiting til the weather gets chilly again. I forgot how much I enjoy making crochet projects...AT least until I look at my blog and see that crochet out numbers all other projects! lol

I call this "little crown" to me the stitch looks like little crowns. of course you can use one color to as many as you like but I choose to use three...They actually were gifted to me to make a blanket from my sister so I went with it!

I was iffy at first but soon fell in love with both the pattern I chose and the colors. it came out so soft and supple even using Red Heart yarn that can sometimes come across as abrassive and rough!

I love how it came out please let me know what you think!

See what I mean about the crowns? maybe I'm seeing things! lol either way I love it and that's what I'm calling it and i'm sticking to it! lol
