A few pieces

Hello Everyone,

So I have a few pieces that I am working on that I would like to share with you and get your thoughts and opinions. Take in mind, that I usually have like five or six projects going on at once because honestly, I get bored with all the repetition sometimes.

My first project is my attempt in making a big, fluffy unicorn for one of my girls that I nanny. She is totally in love with the minions from Despicable Me and often reminds me of Agnes (kind of looks like her too). She's two and she's at the stage where she mimics sounds that she hears, especially when the minions go "bee boo bee boo bee boo" and runs all over the house acting like a nut.





My second project is that Peppermint Puff Baby Blanket which I have finished. This was a quick and easy project to put together relatively fast. My daughter uses it to scoot around the kitchen because she has not mastered the art of crawling yet.



My third project that I am working on is for my daughter's god mother. I haven't asked her to be the godmother yet but I am going to once the blanket is finished. Almost like a bribe in a way ;-). It's a beautiful emerald and purple color. I started with granny squares in the center and then worked one side going one way, and now I am working on the other side going the other way.



This is just one of the squares that I used for the center to show the colors. I don't want to put the whole thing just in case she reads the blog and sees her gift. lol.

The fourth project that I have going is the African Flower Blanket. It is all vibrant tropical colors and I love how it is coming out so far. I am going to outline it in black that way the colors pop even more. It is going to be one hell of a blanket.

Promises Promises Promises

I feel horrible with the fact that I haven't kept my promise about posting at least every week. I honestly thought that I would be able to keep up with it and I honestly have not been able to. It has been quite stressful with a new baby and finding out we're going to have another one in July. But don't worry I have been keeping up on crocheting though. It is the only thing that has been keeping me somewhat sane. I have a lot of blankets that I have been working on and they have been coming out amazing. It makes me feel so accomplished to get something done with so little time. I told my husband that I need to take the time to do things that I want to do, even if it means publishing a post of what I am working on to anyone in the world to read. So I post for all of you in hopes that you out there are reading these and getting ideas of creations that you can make.

Happy Creations Everyone!

Bahama Mamma Blanket.

I absolutely fell in love with this blanket. I found this original pattern on Ravelry called Sunny Spread or something like that. Instead of doing one color though, I wanted a ton of colors instead. I chose tropical colors and brown. I wanted the colors to pop. The tropical colors that I used were from Caron Yarn. The colors were the berry blue, limelight green, sunshine yellow, watermelon pink, and tangerine or mango (I forgot the color because I ran out), and then brown. I did five circles of each tropical color and then bordered them with the brown. Once that was done, I put them in different patterns so the colors weren't all lined up all the same. Once they were sewn together, I lined the outside of the blanket with the colors. I call this the bahama mamma blanket and I made it for one of my best friends.

This a picture of what the separate blocks look like with the color surrounded by the brown.

Sewn together with the border and folded. It is such a nice warm and cozy blanket. If you need a pattern, go to Ravelry. It has a ton of options. 

Thank you!!!

Savannah's Blanket

Hello everyone,

So here is my blanket that I made for my little girl. I made it on the bigger side so that she could grow into it. I've been experimenting with the ripple pattern and using many different colors. I finally found the colors that I wanted when I found some Satin Bernat Yarn for clearance at Joanne's Fabric. They are definitely pastel colors but it's so sticking cute. Savannah loves curling up with it too, especially at night. It is her go to blankie.

The pattern was really easy for me once I go into a grove.



It is like a cotton candy blue with a light purple. I had more of the blue so the blue had six rows instead of four like the purple.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me and I can write up the pattern for you.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year.

A blanket for husband.

Good Morning Everyone! One more day closer to the Thanksgiving and the beginning of Hanukah. I hope your are getting ready for a fabulous filled day with family and friends.

So...


Today's pattern is based on something for my husband. Now mind you I have been trying to figure out what kind of blanket to make for him. Then this lovely app named Pintrest came along and I have been able to find all sorts of awesome patterns to do, even one for my husband. With this blanket, I was able to use a lot of yarn that has been stored up in my craft room. Needless to say, I haven't bought any since I was out of work in May, so my storage has kind of dwindled. But I was ecstatic when I saw that I had enough black, white, gray and red to do this blanket.

This is the picture that I based the pattern off of...

Now here is the rendition that I drew up for this blanket. I wanted to make it a little bigger then what was shown in the picture. So I added another bigger center block and two smaller blocks to add length to it. I also re-arranged the colors of the outside block because I didn't want so much white.





And then here is a picture of the some what almost finished blanket. I finally got it done in time for him to curl up with it for Christmas. It is a really heavy blanket but I can tell he likes it because he was nice and warm and asleep in five mins. Haha






If you would like that pattern, feel free to message me and I can type it up for you. I pretty much made it myself and added the edging of it after.

Have a great day!

A Brand New Year

With the arrival of my daughter this year and the impending arrival another one next summer, my blog has suffered a little bit. Well fear not anymore, this girl swears to post at least a week, even if it is to say that a project is still in the works. Even though I haven't posted in awhile, I have made some pretty miraculous creations (if I do say so myself). From owl hats to afghans to working on a viking hat for my husband (which might I add, has been bugging me for about a month now), my fingers have been nimbly at work. With a new job that is sometimes very stressful, I find myself taking a ball of yarn to work on during lunch break just to relax my brain...the continuous "one, two, three..." just seems to make my brain take a snooze. Well here is hoping. With that being said, I will be posting another post later tonight with a picture of the current afghan I am working and the picture that inspired me.

Happy Holidays!


And don't forgot that you are a loop, swoop, and pull away from your own miraculous creations.

Sunny Spread

This is known as the Sunny Spread. It is a beautiful blanket and once it is done, it will be a warm and cozy blanket.

Each individual square is started in a circle and then created in a square. 

16 are sewn together in an individual box.

Here is a bigger shot of the the 16.

Once you have four squares of sixteen (which are not shown here) you want to sew the four lager squares together. I am still working on it but once I finish it, I will edit this and show the final product.
