One a Day is Back and My Crochet Granny Patches Blanket Update

Granny Patches Blanket Update...

Do you remember this?

Now it has grown into this...




What do you think? It's hard to show the colors so I will try and do better next time.  I hope you bet the idea. I am really excited about this one. I like it so much better with the white border around each color.  I am working in my ends as I do a couple of rows.  I find doing that, almost as satisfying as crocheting. It looks so good without all those ends hanging around! :)

It's going to be pretty big because I have a lot of squares and I want it to fit on my double bed.

Also, I just want to say that my heart and prayers go out to all of the victims of the tornado in Moore, Oklahoma.  For anyone interested in helping out, here is a list of charities if you would like to donate.

Here's where I am linking up this week...
I am so excited One a Day is back.  I would like to do at least one row a week so I can get this done.  Thanks Carole! We missed you.

Happy Crocheting!

Dishcloths and Potholders: Stash-buster Cotton

These quick and fun little projects have busted my cotton stash "Big Time". I only have three little balls of cotton yarn left! I'm so glad I joined the "2013 Stash-buster Challenge." Now, I can't wait to go shopping and pick up some new colors of cotton.




Dishcloths: These are so fun to make and I love the stitch.







Love this set Made with Hobby Lobby "I Love This Cotton".  These are so soft. Better than Sugar-N-Cream cotton. The potholder is made holding two yarns together. I used the plain yellow and the variegated.  It is nice and thick and worked up super fast. The Dishcloth is the same as above.

I'm not sure where I got the Potholder pattern below but when I find it I will post it here.  



Love these Potholders/Trivets: These were made holding two yarns together.  It was fun using any variegated yarn you have and yellow and then change to pink and switch back to yellow.  Tons of fun to make and it turned out a lot prettier than I thought it would.



Another Dishcloth same as above...






Have you been Stash-busting lately?

Vogue Knitting/Crochet Issue Coming Soon...

I cannot wait until May 1, 2013 so I can buy a copy of this magnificent Vogue Knitting/Crochet Issue! Last year's Fall issue was fantastic and this year promises to be just as good if not better, (I know...how can it be any better?)

Anyway, here is the cover for the new magazine and I found a few sneak peaks to share with you...



Ravelry already has this lovely Diamond Lace Bag is so cute and it's made from 1" plastic rings covered in single crochet stitches! So cute and I love the "ring" handles to match.

I adore this sweet little sweater that is crocheted in one piece from the neck down.  It has dolman sleeves and uses a traditional pineapple stitch and pretty picot edging.

The issue has everything from jewelry to dresses to cover-ups for summer.

I don't want to spoil it for you so just know that once again Vogue has put together some great crochet fashion for this spring and summer.

Happy Crocheting!

Overlay Crochet Pillow Tah Dah!

Do you remember this?



That's right! It's my Overlay Crochet Mandala CAL. It was so big and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it so I made a circle crochet mandala and put the two together to make this nice pillow.



When I stitched the two together I made sure to single crochet in the back loops only so the ruffle would stand up/out.  I think that gives the pillow a nice finished edge. Don't you?



Not the best pictures in the world but that was all I had to work with at the time.

Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog.  I don't always get to reply back to all of you but I do try to visit your blogs and leave a comment when I can.

Happy Crocheting!

Romantic Ruffle Scarf Tah Duh!

This is what I've been working on...

This gorgeous and fun scarf was made with this pattern from Red Heart Boutique Sashay Yarn in the color "Waltz". I made this in about three evening. The yarn has just a touch of metallic around the edges. It was fun to work with and  I recommend watching this video before starting. 

I am working on another one for a friend at work in Pink. More on it later.

Happy Crocheting!
