An Earthtone Blanket-Tah Dah!!

I made this Earthtone Blanket for my daughter and she loves it. Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Mushroom, Oatmeal and White-Multi. I'm not sure how much but it was A LOT!! :)

The stitch is known by several names, Moss Stitch, Woven Stitch, etc. It's a single crochet and chain, then the next row you single crochet in the chain space and chain one. Easy Peasy!!

It's wooly and warm. I love the dense fabric.

More projects coming soon...I'm playing catch-up on my blog.

Happy Crocheting!

A Few Christmas Patterns I Love...

It's 38 degrees here this morning and now I am getting into the Christmas spirit and looking for fun and easy Christmas patterns. Below are a few I've found around the web...

First we have little Christmas stocking ornaments. I love these! How quick and easy and fun to embellish with your own ribbons, buttons, etc. The pattern is on Ravelry by Zoom Yummy

There are so many easy and cute patterns at Red Heart. This Christmas Tree is so pretty in the sparkle yarn. I think I'll make this one for the office...

These Peppermint Coasters are so festive. They will make great gifts for the girls at work...

Enjoy your weekend and...

Happy Crocheting!

Finally Finished Crocheted Rainbow Blanket

I did it! Yay! Yippee!

The Rainbow Blanket I started making for my daughter a couple of years ago! This is just a striped crocheted granny blanket
I actually finished it in 2011 but...I had some ends to work in and I didn't give it to her until this last weekend. It only took me thirty minutes to work in those few ends! Can you believe that? Why didn't I do that years ago? I have several blankets like that. They are so close to being done but they need some ends worked in. I'm such a terrible procrastinator! Maybe this year I can finish all of my blankets! I would feel great if I did that. No more guilt for starting another new blanket.

I used Plymouth yarn and I love it! It's so lightweight and washed up beautifully! She was so happy to finally get it. My grand daughter Emma, just loves it. I think the bright primary colors are perfect for a toddler to learn her colors.

I hope you all are having a great week and Happy Crocheting!!

I am hooking up at the Moogly Link Party!

Little Owl Hat for Emma

I made this cute little Owl Hat by special request from my daughter who loved the one I made her last year! The pattern is here from Repeat Crafter Me. I've made several of these hats over the last year for gifts and every just loves them!

Sorry for the crappy picture. I took it with my phone...
 
Happy New Year and Happy Crocheting!

Elegant Design Cowl

My very first Elegance Cowl...

I made this last weekend using half double crochet, double crochet,treble crochet, triple treble crochet and a couple of rows of V-stitches just for fun! Then I joined it together with clusters that remind me of little button decorations. Nothing boring about this pattern.

The yarn is Stylecraft DK in turquoise.  Have a wonderful week and ....Happy Crocheting!
