Crochet Granny Patches Update, A Ruffle Scarf, and more...

Granny Patches Blanket Update...

It's been almost two weeks since my last update and I have added two more rows to keep up with my "One a Day" challenge and worked in all of those ends! This is also one of my Scrap-Buster Blankets. I think I'm loving it! 

I can only work on granny patches for so long and I grow weary, especially with those ends so...

I make an occasional Romantic Ruffle Scarf with Red Heart Sashay yarn!  This is the third one I've made and they work up so quick it makes for an easy project between rows on my blanket.

 This is my sweet little Sonny dog, he is an English Cocker Spaniel and is 10 years old.  He is my faithful and loyal friend.

This one is another fun and quick project I just started! My Triple Thread Baby blanket. It is so soft and thick. I'm just using a double crochet in the back loops of every row and it makes a nice ridges.  I am waiting for the Pink Yarn from Bernat to arrive and then I can finish this one off with a nice Border. Not sure what pattern I will use but I still have time to figure that out. This one is a HUGE Scrap-Buster using three strand of baby yarn.  

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!

Progress on my "Cowl in Vino"

Happy W.I.P Wednesday!

Just a quick update on the progress I am making on my CAL Calm Cowl with TracyAnn.

You remember this sidewalk shawl? I bought all of the "special" yarn for it and haven't started it yet! I've been busy crocheting "Baby Emma's" things that she will need when she arrives in August! I have my priorities you know. :)

I still can't show you what I've been making because I have to wait until I give them to my daughter. Hopefully that will be soon. One thing I am saving for her shower on July 15th so it will probably be after that before I can go crazy posting pictures. I may just have to whip up a few pot holders or scarves because I am having "blogger comments withdrawal". :) Seriously...I miss you guys. I've only had my blog for a little over a year and now when I finish an item I can't wait to take pictures and get it posted so I can hear what you think about it! Crazy huh? How did I do it before? I really think I am a "comments" junky! I love them! Oh well, soon I will know your opinions on all the fun projects I've done. Thanks you guys. I'm glad you're here.

Happy Crocheting!

My BIG Surprise!

My Mixed Berry Scarf...Tah Dah!!

no this is not the BIG surprise...

I am excited to show you this completed project...

and this beauty...my Sequined Scarf. Do you remember this one?

It turned out so soft and delicate. I just love the pattern and the yarn!!

And now this...no it isn't the BIG surprise yet!

I finished this scarf too. 

Now are your ready...

are you sure...

believe me it is going to be worth the wait!!

I am so excited to show you this that I am giddy!

I know... just get on with it.

Well

here it is...

the BIG Surprise!!

All the way from the U.K...

My 

LUCY A24 Pack 
(click above to order yours)

Yes...I know

it 

is

AWESOME!!

But its awesomeness only gets better and better.

This 17 skeins of yarn in these yummy colors, (handpicked by Lucy herself) is less than $40 and free shipping. 

You can't beat that kind of deal. It did take two weeks to arrive so I have been on pins and hooks waiting, waiting, waiting and finally

it arrived in all its glory and I am ecstatic! 

Now what am I going to do with it??

That my friends is up to you. That's right. You tell me what to make from this yummy confection of yarn!!

I want it to be a blanket. Not a granny stripe because I have two of those going already. Maybe a ripple or granny squares, ( I also have a giant granny going on now as well.) Maybe I should finish the three blankets I have started before I start this new one. Naw...I don't think I can wait that long. :)

So tell me what kind of a blanket should I make?? Just leave me a comment and I'll let you all know what you decide. I LOVE making blankets so I'm open to any pattern you choose. 

I'm so excited to see what all of you decide for me! It will be kind of a fun challenge.

Have a great week everyone and Happy Hooking!!
