NewYear Projects

Hello Friends...As we're well into January, I would like to wish everyone a very belated Happy New Year! I've been quiet, but busy finishing off another big squishy blanket order, and have another in the works.

I've also been playing with some different crochet stitches for some new blankets. I haven't quite decided on the yarn as of yet, but I've been testing things out on my Vanna's Choice stash, with different colour changes. I'm sure I'll go back and forth on ideas and yarn possibilities before I land on something, but it's always fun to play around.

New Custom Baby Blankets

Hello Friends...I just wanted to share with you these two baby blankets I've been working on lately. The first, with the stripes, is a gorgeous shell stitch pattern.  I'm so happy with the way it worked up with the contrasting gray. I used Lionbrand Yarn, Vanna's Choice, which is such a great yarn to work with, especially for blankets of any kind. It comes in so many colours and it has a lovely squishy feel to it.

The next blanket is done in a simple textured stitch pattern, but I used a super bulky yarn by Yarnspirations, called Bernat Softee Chunky. It is so cosy and chunky, great even to throw down as a play blanket.

Both blankets are available in my Etsy shop as custom blankets, in 2 sizes - one for the car seat/stroller, and the other for the crib.

Granny Blanket All Done!

Hello Friends...It's been a long summer and now that the kids are back to school, I'm happy to play a little catch up and present some show and tell.  I'm so happy to have finally completed my primary summer granny square project!  All squares joined and all ends weaved in. I love the simplicity of the classic granny square and especially the two round/two colour combination.

This blanket is approx. 40"x40", perfect for a baby blanket or also great as as lapghan.  Each square consists of two rounds of granny square, 12 across and 12 rows, a total of 144 squares.  I used Vanna's Choice yarn, by Lionbrand. It's a medium weight yarn with a recommended size 6 mm hook.  Looks like I have an potential buyer for this blanket, which I am so proud of.
