My vintage blanket: the edging

Good evening!

Just a quick post tonight to post the graphic of my vintage blanket’s edging…and to tell you THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments on my previous post! I am really lucky to have you all … and so happy everytime to share with you and read your sweet words…

So, here it is…

To make one picot crochet 3 ch and then 1 dc (or sc for the U.S crocheters) in the first ch.

I just love this edging…The picot are a little “pain in the a…” but the result really worth it … simple but beautiful don’t you think?

Have to go now….

Sweet dreams!

My vintage blanket: it is D O N E !! Hurrayyy!

Good morning!

My vintage blanket is done 🙂 Finally, the first blanket which is all mine, yes mine 🙂 This time, I will not for any any reason give away this blanket… (selfish on Christmas time this is very very bad 🙂 )

I love this blanket…I love MY blanket… wanna see it ?? yalla…

It is so “wintery” with all this white… like a field of flowers in a snowy morning … mmmmmh

The yarn used is Nako vizon a 100% acrylic yarn.

The hook: 4.5mm

Don’t ask me about the number of colors, I don’t exactly remember…It was leftovers I had in my stash with maybe 8 or 9 100g ball of off-white yarn…

150 squares joined as-I-go 🙂 You can find the graphic pattern of the square here.

And after I joined all the squares together I’ve made this border which I adore. I’m gonna post the graphic pattern of this edging next time maybe, so if you’re interested, stay tuned 😉

Dim: 110×165 cm

Last night was my first evening snuggled under my blanket while crocheting my rainbow ripple in front of the fire lit in the fireplace… a PERFECT evening 🙂

and you? what is for you a perfect evening?

5 more days before Christmas… The count down has began 🙂

I wish you a PERFECT monday, a PERFECT week and a perfect Holidays season 🙂

That will make when done a total of 9 rows! Youpiii!

But the BIG BIG news is a new kind of yarn my mother bought for me on Saturday…hmmmm…deliciosa…I could not resist trying it and I fall madly deeply…and I started something new too…and I can not take it from my hands 😀

So, my lovelies, in my next post: New yarn, new kind of colors never used before, new wip and a new cute graphic pattern too 😉

Stay tuned!

I feel like I’m neglecting a little bit this blog of mine and I apologize for that….

I feel like I’m running out of time and with the children at home for their summer holidays it is quite impossible to concentrate on something for more than 5 minutes 🙂 I think you understand what I’m talking about 😉

And there is INSTAGRAM. It is so easy and so quick to post a picture with a few words and share it that …well… you end up neglecting your blog and your posts… and it is annoying me I must confess… I love this little blog of mine…I feel like it is my own home, my secret place where I can hide from all the daily “routine” stuff… A kind of escape 🙂

Well… I know I talk too much 😀 I want to show you today some pics of my past week and my actual wips … Most of these pics I’ve posted them already on Instagram (Sorry my IG friends 😉 )

* My Vintage stripy blanket: This blanket is my stress-away wip. It is very soothing to work on and I am in love with how the colors melt together…

* That’s why I’m sharing here its chart. Many of you asked me about this pattern. It is a little bit tricky to begin and end each row…so before beginning your blanket try the pattern on a small scale to make sure it works with you 😉 Very easy once you’ve made your first rows…

I started it with 150ch. Working it with a 4.5mm hook. I think the more chunky the yarn is the more beautiful is the effect 😉 That’s my opinion 😉

* This is the second wip I’m working on. A winter bedspread for our room. I’ve already made some squares and I love how they’re looking 🙂

Traditional granny squares are my favorite. You know that eh? and the more I crochet them the more I have projects in my head with them… I think that my brain is full of granny squares ideas… they are everywhere in my home and I just can’t have enough of them…

They are beautiful…don’t you think? Little sweets for the soul 🙂

*Some pics of my planner. I am in love with this little filofax of mine. Its color, its shape, everything inside it makes my heart sing with joy… And I feel that I am more organised now that I am using it. Everythink is planned, my week is decorated and I feel calm just looking at it 🙂 Nurdy lady 😉

*and this last wip of mine. My crochet mood blanket 2014. I am up to date with it and find again a lot of joy crocheting each morning a square depending on my mood of the moment 🙂 There is not a lot of grey and dark colors… don’t you think? 😉

* My new comfy birkenstock. I love their color and painted my nails to match them 🙂

* And finally: My reason to live…My love… My life… My time consumers… My sun… My rainbow… My everything… My children…

I’ll leave you today with their picture. I just LOVE them so much and I am thankful every day and blessed for having them in my life…

Have a wonderful day my friends!

Kisses!
