I finished up the custom Ripple Blanket last week!

It turned out so pretty!!

I'll be sending it out today and hope its new owner loves it as much as I do!!

Ripple Blanket Update

And I'm half way done!!

(colors are not true to life as I used my instagram filter)

Custom Order

I am so excited about my first custom order from my Etsy Shop!

This will be a crocheted ripple blanket 40X60 in Navy, Light Blue and Ivory.  I'm very excited about this project and have been hard at work.  My goal is to have it completed in 4-6 weeks (I'm almost done with week 1!)

I'll be posting updates along the way and would love to know what you think!

As Promised!

I got a chance to take more pictures of my newest blanket! 

ENJOY!

And it is now listed in my Etsy shop in case you want it all for yourself!!!

Flower Granny Square Blanket

I wanted to share the newest blanket I made! 

Here it is all folded up!

There are 36 squares all together - 18 with flowers and 18 in aqua.

It measures about 31inches X 31 inches, so it's the perfect baby blanket.

This is an up close picture of the flower squares.

I also used a border from my around the corner crochet borders book.  I LOVE this book! It is very helpful for making pretty blankets!

I'll post more pictures later - it is not good picture taking weather right now :(

Of course I'll be adding this blanket to my Etsy Shop soon!

Happy Granny Blanket is Done!!

I am SO happy with how this blanket turned out!!!! 

It really is a happy blanket!

I used a turquoise color to join the squares together and used a tutorial from Attic 24 for doing it.  

I also got to use the book I got myself for Christmas for the border! I used #46 in case you wanted to know :)

I'll be adding this blanket soon to my Etsy Shop if you are interested in making it your own happy granny blanket!!

Granny square update

I've crocheted 39 Granny Squares so far!!!

Stack of 39 all together

Here are some of the newest ones I have completed:

feeling productive and finished 8 in one day

I've got 17 more to go and then I can start putting them together! I'm going back and forth on 2 different options for finishing them.  I'm sure I'll have my mind made up soon!!

New Granny Square Project

I love Pinterest!  It has become the latest obsession for many of my friends, including myself! 

One thing I really like about it is being able to pin all my inspirations into different categories.  I created a blanket board of the different blankets I've seen and would like to make in the future.  I noticed I was pinning a lot of granny squared blankets that used bright colors.  So my newest Granny Square Project is going to be a bright and happy blanket!

Here are the squares I've made so far.

I'm using yarn from my stash and hoping to not have to buy too much extra!  I love how the squares look different based on the colors used!

When completed I'll be adding this lovely blanket to my shop!  

I'm estimating now that it will be about 48-52 inches wide and 42-48 inches long.  

I will keep posting updates of the progress!

What have you been pinning on pinterest? You should try it out if you haven't already!

Chevron/Ripple Blanket

As promised, I wanted to post more pictures of the finished blanket!

I think it turned out great!!

The colors look so pretty together! 

This was a fun blanket to make and I found it easy to do.  I would recommend giving it a try if you have been interested in starting!

And it has been posted to Etsy! 

Blanket is done!!

My ripple blanket is finished!! I'm super excited about great it looks! This was such a fun blanket to work on! I'm going to miss it when it gets sold!!

I'll post more pictures after my fun weekend with my sisters, aunts, cousins and mother-in-law!

Ripple blanket

Last week I decided I wanted to learn how to crochet a ripple blanket aka chevron blanket. I'm thankful for attic 24's wonderfully easy tutorials because she made it easy to learn!!

The blanket is coming along really well!! I love how the colors look together. Now I just have to decide how big to make it!!

I'll be including this blanket into my etsy shop when done! I love making blankets, so let me know if you need a custom project!

Nanny Granny

Finally I made a granny square blanket for my mother-in-law, aka Nanny

(The colors are actually grey and a bright teal blue but with my instagram pics they come out looking different!)

I love how simple this one is and yet it still looks awesome!

I made 4 giant granny squares and just joined them together.

For all of the blankets I made I used my favorite yarn from Hobby Lobby - I Love This Yarn!  The yarn is super soft and comes in amazing colors! It really makes finding great color combinations easy.  

And here are some of the pics from the crocheting process:

Lucy's Granny Square Blanket

 

The blanket I made for my sister-in-law Lucy gave me a new challenge - reading a pattern from just a chart.  Plus this chart was written in Japanese!  Ya, it was hard but I love great challenges!

Here is the pattern from Ravelry if you are interested!

This turned into a rather large blanket of 143 squares, but it's perfect for my SIL and niece snuggle under!

Here are some of the grannies before they were edged and sewn together

And the border up close

Amy's Granny Striped Blanket

The first blanket I started for Christmas was for my sister-in-law Amy.

(It's the one in the middle)

I saw OliveOh posting some awesome pictures of the Granny Stripe Blanket she was working on and she posted a great explanation for how to do it too! So I thought this would be the perfect blanket for Amy! 

Here is the actual pattern from Attic 24 for those who need patterns!

So here are some of the pictures of the blanket in process.  

I somehow never got one of it by itself -- may have to get my SIL to send me one!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! 

I have been busy making presents for my family so I haven't been able to post my projects here! But here is glimpse at the three blankets I crocheted for my motherinlaw and sisterinlaws.

 I'll post more about each one soon with more pics!  Plus I made a few more gifts too!!

I hope you all are having a great Christmas!!

Finally finished!!!

I finally finished my granny circle blanket!!

I am super super super excited to be done!

I was inspired by Bunny Mummy for my border

She had a great tutorial for the edging too and I thought it was super easy to do

And it looks GREAT on my new couch!!!

I'm so glad to get this blanket done! 

Finished? Not really..

So I have put together all the circles I made resulting in this beautiful blanket

only bad part is that it only measures to about 3 foot by 3 foot!!! So it't not as big as I would like!

But the awesome thing about granny squares is that is is super easy to just make more squares and add on!

So I'm going to make a row at a time and see where I end!
