Yarn shopping

We’ve had a wonderfully sunshiny beautiful week in Turkey (Letoonia club – Fethiyeh). Enjoying the sun, the beach, the sand in our toes 🙂

We’ve really needed this one week vacation away from everything to recharge our batteries (mine was really really empty 🙂 )

Now I am back home, happy, calm, batteries fully charged 🙂 I love my home and I love going back to my crochet wips too. One week without holding a hook that was veryyyyyy long 🙂

Sending you sunshine, colors, and lots of kisses!

Good morning beautiful people!

Hope you’re well, happy and healthy 🙂

Me… Well… I am totally in loVVVVe with my Vstitch blanket…If you’re following me on instagram or facebook you’ll already know that 🙂

This post is about it mostly…my progress on my VintageV blanket so far 😉

1

There is something about this stitch you can not resist…

2

It is addictive, soothing, calming, beautiful, fast and easy…

3

It grows very fast…

4

and is perfect for crocheting while doing something else… like watching TV or dreaming 🙂

5

You can try it yourself … there is plenty of written patterns, charts, videos online… or you can try it my way (less holes) HERE 🙂

7

Give it a go… you won’t regret it 😉

I’ll be away next week for a small vacation in Turkey… Beach, sand, sun and no stress are waiting for me 🙂

I’ll be back very soon 😉

Have a great time!

V stitch blanket chart

Hello lovelies,

How are you? Woooow we are July1 already…time flies… 2014 is half gone and I am half done with my Crochet Mood Blanket 2014.

1

Here it is from January1 (up-left light purple) till June30 (down-right blue turquoise) ðŸ˜€ Wooow! I am really happy to be up to date with it 🙂 It makes me proud, happy and makes my heart sing with joy.

2

See? Not so many dark and grey days! Hope that the second half will be as happy as this first 🙂

2'

I am pleased with it even though it will be BIG very BIG . The first half is 120 x 145 cm. So the final blanket will be 145 x 240 cm 😀

And I started also something new…

3

 Well, I am unravelling an wip and crocheting a new one… Remember my Vintage Stripy Blanket? Well, I decided to unravel it because I was not pleased with its sides …they were not straight and it was bothering me … A LOT… So, I decided to unravel it and with every row unravelled crochet a row in a new Vintage-V-blanket 🙂

4

I love the colors. That’s why I am keeping them as they are…unravelling from here…crocheting there 🙂

6

And I am falling madly deeply in love with this V-stitch blanket 🙂 It is addictive…and once you start you can not leave your hook anymore 😉

5

I drew a small chart to show you how I am working on it. You can find online if you google: Crochet V stitch many patterns, charts and videos too…but here is my own “version” with less “holes” 🙂 and I am really pleased with it.

7

I am working this blanket with a 4.5mm hook and a yarn similar to the Stylecraft special DK but a little thicker. It is called Nako Vizon. A 100% acrylic yarn 🙂

If you have time and are wondering what to crochet, I really advise you to try the V-stitch. It is totally addictive easy and fast to crochet 🙂 You’ll be totally hooked 🙂

Have a super day!
