Goodness, where did this week go? Turned around and the weekend is here. Time is moving far too quickly. The hook has been moving too. My latest projects are taking off ...
Half the squares have been made for my square in a square ghan. Took a bit of time this afternoon to weave in some ends. I like to do some every so often and not leave all the ends for the finish. This is really a neat pattern. Its very easy and fun to make. I think I would like one done with multi colored centers, it would be really pretty not to mention a great way to use up left over yarn pieces.
My newest ghan is the
Sarafia blanket. Loved the pink, green and white. My stash had rose, white and a green, and I did pick up a different shade of green for the third color. Have just done one and a half squares. Another easy and fun project. My square measures 8 inches. Right now I'm thinking 35 squares should do a size I would like. By the way this project is going to be a
Crochet Along. Stop over at
Stitchy McFloss for more details.
Speaking of
crochet along ... I first saw this
snowflake potholder at
Lacy Crochet. The pattern can be found at
Gracious Rain and will also be started soon. I think this will be such a delight to use during the winter months. Food for thought: wouldn't this be a wonderful ghan as well!
Faith (Crochet by the Sea), Vikki (By HOOKS 4U), Stitchy (Stitchy McFloss), Kat (Hookin It With Mr. Lick Lick) are joining in. And with the afghan, we are taking our time and enjoying. Come along, grab a hook and join in, its fun to be crocheting along with others and the results are incredible.
Have a great weekend.
They are all very eye catching. I agree, that snowflake one is perfect for the holidays, and wouldn't it make such a nice hostess gift for giving, or just a pretty little stocking stuffer?

I think I would like to make them in cotton, I think they would turn out much prettier in cotton and would show the design/pattern...
Oh I love your current blanket, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI am ready for the CAL. Gotta go tackle the stash in the craft studio. Send reinforcements if you don't hear back from me in an hour! :)
Blessings always my dear friend. :)
Oh my goodness, Glor! You're as busy as I am, I can see! Love all your work, and wish I could join in on the snowflake CAL, but I've GOT to get my daughter's afghan (a shade of red, leaning towards burgundy/wedding bells pattern.. You saw it, actually!) done before taking on any other big projects. I've been working on it a little every night... And it was funny. I was over her house the other day, and I caught myself saying to her, "Gee a nice green afghan would be pretty in THIS room!"... Oh my gosh, REALLY, am I a glutton for punishment?! How MUCH do I think I can do?! (0; Have a great day! ~tina
