Giant Granny-Almost Finished

I am almost finished with my Giant Granny!

I have 45 rows right now and I think 50 rows will make it the right size to completely cover my feet! Then I will be ready to add the border! I am not sure what border I am going to use yet. Probably the same one I plan on using on my Granny Stripes blankets. 

Thanks for all your comments and votes on my Big Surprise! It's unanimous...

A new Ripple blanket. 

I can't wait but I am going to finish my 3-WIPs first.

Have a great week!! 

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!!

Progress on Blankets and New Project

Here is an update on what I've been working on. First... my Giant Granny CAL...Here is a pic from the last time I updated my progress...

Here is what it looks like now...

It's growing! I haven't counted the rows yet bu I still have a ways to go!


Now my Blues Granny Stripe...before...

...and here it is now!

I ran out of yarn so I had to stop and order more. It's on its way! Yay! Now, I had to start a new project of course...

This is a very delicate yarn with sequins! This will be a scarf when it grows up. I can't get a good picture of the pretty sequins but..this will be a beautiful, dressy scarf.

I haven't raveled it yet but when I do I will let you know. It is so fun working with this yarn. It's so light and it has mohair in it.Kind of a challenge for me since I'm used to working on blankets. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I hope to have more projects with different yarns like kid silk, alpaca, etc. My next project will be a lacy shawl. I'm so excited! The scarf is practice for me before I tackle the really HARD stuff! I hope you all have a great weekend and I do appreciate all of your sweet comments! Pin It
