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.

Check out my project progress...

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all my friends and followers. Wishing you all a safe, peaceful and joyous holiday season.

This year we got a little rescue cat, Maya, "for the kids". But really she's my new little buddy, and is never far.  She loves to pose with all my creations, here she is with one of my Big Squishy Blankets before  delivery.

My talented daughter makes these soaps and bath bombs. They are just so beautiful, I thought I'd share.

Big Squishy Knit Blanket

Hello Friends...I've been working on a few more of these big squishy blankets, in Bernat Blanket yarn by Yarnspirations. They are so much fun to work on and so simple, as it's just the garter stitch. This yarn is so soft and as it works up, you are left with an irresistible squishy and cosy blanket! It's perfect for the colder months.

I'm especially loving this first colour, called Oatmeal. The other is called Silver Steel.

As a crocheter, it's nice to have a change and work with the knitting needles. Below is a winter scarf I recently finished, again in the simple garter stitch. Yarn is Wool Ease, by Lion Brand, in marble.

Cozy Knit Blanket

Hello Friends...so happy to share a recently completed knit project. As most if you know, I am a crocheter, but back in the day I started out knitting. I'd say its been about 30 years since I picked up the needles, except to teach my eldest daughter how to knit.

This project was so simple, just the garter, or knit stitch. I used Bernat Blanket yarn, which made this blanket so soft and squishy. I made this blanket custom for a friend and I've received great feedback. Added some fringe for fun, I'm sure this blanket will get good use over the colder Canadian months.

Crochet Cat Bed / Blanket

Hello Friends...I recently tried my hook on the popular Bernart Blanket yarn. I found some on clearance at my local Michael's, so I couldn't resist.

Not long ago we added sweet Maya to our family, a small rescue cat from a  local rescue organization. She loves to look out our front window...I think she likes her new cushy spot to lounge on. Knead, knead, purr, purr:
