Le monde de Sucrette

Laying all the squares I’ve already crochet on my kitchen table gave me joy this morning …

48 squares so far… I’ve had to show you…

48 happy squares I soooo enjoyed crocheting I am deeply in love with this blanket and with every step of its making

I’m trying now to sketch a new graphic pattern for a square I’ll use to crochet a table runner for my sitting room… A lot of concentration needed … More about this very soon

And you? What are your small pleasures of the day? Are you enjoying what you’re making ?

Wishing you lovely moments whatever you’re doing today !

Hello everybody !

Joe is going to daycare for a couple of hours per day, the girls are at school and I am back to life

That’s how I’m feeling…sorry if this sounds rude to some of you but I really really really missed being alone just me with myself for an hour or two… and spending some me-time without thinking: should I be able to finish this round of crochet before he wakes up from his nap?

I think that when you’re away from your children for a couple of hours that makes you a better mom when you’re with them again…and that makes you appreciate every moment spent with them even more…don’t you think?

So,lovelies, I am back to life, back to my craft room (that is on the first floor of my house), back to my sewing machine, back to my paintings too…Oh how I missed spending some time down there…

In the first months after Joe was born I felted an urgent need to go down…just for an hour…but that was impossible…now it is…

Just sitting behind the sewing machine was a real pleasure…

I’ve made nothing important…I’ve sewed some hearts for my sister’s home (she asked me if I could make some for her home back in december )

Opening the closet and smelling the colorful fabric was blissful too

How about looking from the window and appreciating the beauty of our springy blue sky…

and admiring the lovely little flowers that the girls planted at school and brought back home with them…

Oh how I miss these 3 little people of mine when they are away…

Life is a treasure my friend… enjoy every second…

and have a beautiful day!

Kisses, hugs and LOVE to all!

Hello happy people!

How are you? Is it spring already in your part of the world or not yet? Is it still grey and rainy?

In my country spring is already here: sunshine, blue sky, perfect weather

I started this week a new project: yes, another blanket like you guessed from the title of this post…

It was like a huge need to start it…like I could not resist…and I could not wait finishing other wips before… I had to pick colours and start it…does it happens to you? this huge excitement for starting a project and you could not think of something else rather than holding the hook? ohhh my…

I decided to use all my scraps of yarn…all my leftover little bits and bigger bits of yarn…

and there is a lot of colours in my stash…some are tiny balls that make only one round and some are bigger…

Oh how I love colorful yarn like that!

I must confess something: My favorite colour these days is yellow-mustard a colour I used to hate when younger…now it is my favorite and I am using it a lot in this project…People change

So, I had to start a project that I can easily crochet during hot days…

and making separate squares is not something heavy you have to carry on your lap..

so it had to be squares…squares that I will join later…maybe in autumn… I will not think about the joining method nor the colour now even though yellow-mustard joining is on my mind hahaha

Wanna see the squares?

Oh! oh! oh! These are happy squares aren’t they?

I am really really enjoying crocheting each square and taking a lot of pleasure in choosing 4 colours for each one

This is the kind of projects that makes my heart beats faster boum boum boum

It will be a happy blanket I am sure

Sending happy thoughts your way…

and wishing you a very happy weekend!

Sucrette

P.S: For the squares I am using this classic pattern but with a small change: I am making 2tr,2ch,2tr in each corner instead of 2tr,1ch,2tr like on the graph

Each square is made with 4 rounds, each round crocheted with a different colour

 

Hello lovelies!

How was your weekend?

Today is a special post cause it is a double tadaaa one Yes two finished projects to show you

Number oooooooone….

My granny shawl … finally finished and looking gorgeous

I love it! Too bad it is already very hot now here and I’ll have to wait for september to wear it

Crocheted with my beloved 100% acrylic yarn nako vizon …

Following this very easy pattern … It was a real pleasure to make and I am deeply in love

As for number twooooooooo…It is a before-after kind of project…

A very ugly black wooden stool I totally forgot about it in my attic… and I saw it and thought: what if I make for it a crocheted cover and use it to hold one of my green plants

soooooo there it is:

Granny square cover of course…what else ? made with leftover yarn ….

I love the contrast between the black and the other colours mmmmh

and here it stands now…

What do you think?

Did you like my two “projects’?

Now, I have a long project for the summer…It is burning in my head and I started it last night…mmmmmh…I am totally totally totally excited about it… I love it too too much…and I can’t wait to show it to you…

So, stay tuned my friend…

Sending you love, kisses and sunshine

Good morning!

I’ve had the worst internet connection ever these past days and today it is still very bad but I couldn’t resist writing a new post…even though it is taking me ages to upload one single pic

How are you lovelies?

I’ve began a new baby blanket but this time it is for a little boy’s cousin due in july…

Here is the yarn…not my kind of colours but I think they are great for a baby…

what do you think? Do you love them?

and I started…

Yes, a ripple blankie… using this pattern

I love ripples…It is one of the best things I like to crochet

And I’m loving how this one is turning out…

and I’m still working on the south bay shawlette too

and and and…

I’m covering an old black stool with granny squares…yaaaay how I love granny squares…

Too many wips … one happy woman

Have a beautiful week my friend!

Kisses

Good morning sweeties,

The baby girl blanket is done …I finished it last week but could not have enough time to write a post… So here it is today….tadaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I enjoyed every second working on this blanket and I’m so in love with it…

The yarn is very very soft…a pure pleasure to touch…It is called: Nako Lux Ninnos a mixture of 50%polyamid 50%acrylic….worked with a 3.5 mm crochet hook…

As for the squares: The first 4 rounds are made following this pattern here

The 5th round is made with tr (U.K) all around the square and 2tr - 2ch – 2tr in each corner…

And I joined the squares using Lucy’s great method

And for the edging part, I crocheted one granny round in light purple and a second one in white with picot (3ch-1sc in the first ch)

I love “picot” I think they add a very beautiful touch to the finished project don’t you agree?

I love love this blanket (I know I already said that ) and I hope that the baby girl who’s due in july will love it too

Have to leave you now…

I’ll be crocheting next a baby boy blanket …. I’ve already chosen the colours and if you’re following me on facebook you’ve already saw them…

Will share all about this coming project soon…

Will have to show you too my granny shawl which looking really really gorgeous

Wishing you a marvellous week …

Lots of kisses and

LOVE TO ALL
