I was given an enormous ball of orange yarn and a big bag of cream coloured yarn. They were sitting together on my shelf and I decided to make it into a bunch of granny squares. I love how the cream lets the orange blossom and showcase itself in this blanket. Measures 33″ x 41″.
I made this afghan in 2012 to use up some scraps. It’s a giant granny square. The bright colours will cheer any room.
I am participating in The Crochet Crowd’s Stitch-cation Summer Crochet Challenge. Here are my first blocks using the “popcorn” stitch. In addition to learning new stitches for the blocks we are being challenged to use at least 8 different colours. I will make an afghan with all the blocks in this challenge.
This past Winter 2014 I designed this Santa hat and beard for my 6 year old son based on the Cabbage Patch craze. It was the perfect hat for the cold winter that just passed. I created this pattern but did not write it down. To make it I mashed a few different patterns. Check out my Ravelry page to see more details on the patterns I referenced if you want to make your own.
On July 30, 2014 I joined the graphghan trend and completed my very first graphghan of Hello Kitty. It was a lot easier than I thought to get started. First I searched online for a graph of Kitty. When I found the one I wanted to depict in the crochet blanket, I simply printed the chart and designed the rest of the afghan around her. What do you think?
