Monday again!

Good morning ladies!

How are you? Time really flies …here we are already in march…and it is monday again πŸ™‚ I love the smell of spring of march πŸ™‚

I’ve began two new wips I want to share with you today πŸ™‚

A baby blanket for a cousin of mine who’s expecting a little princess in July πŸ™‚

Here is a close up of the squares I’m making…

I love this blanket… I added to its original square a round of dc …to add more white…

baby-blanket-wip4

I am loving how it is turning out and I’ve already done all the circles (the first two rounds of them πŸ˜‰ )

The second wip is a cowl for myself…a very big cowl that I can fold two times around my neck….

I am working it using the moss stitch (1sc, 1ch, 1sc, 1ch) etc

I simply loooove that stitch πŸ™‚

cowl-wip2

I amΒ crocheting itΒ with the “MIRAGE” a 100% acrylic yarn but instead of the 3mm hook suggested on the yarn I am using a 5mm hook to have a light effect…

Finally lovely ladies a pic of my bundle of joy who’s enjoying his new toy…

Fall in love…

Gooooood morniiiiiiing πŸ™‚

Let me begin this happy week by presenting you “fall” in love in all its glory. Yes, it is done and I am very satisified with how it turned out…

fall_in_love1

I simply fall in love with “fall” in love πŸ™‚

fall_in_love2

I began this blanket at the beginning of this year…You can read its first post here. This blanket was made as a gift for my lovely cousin Nathalie known as Nato πŸ™‚ And this is, I think, my fastest blanket…one little month and it was done πŸ™‚

fall_in_love3

The blanket is a very good size couch blanket and it is crocheted with a 4mm crochet hook and the wonderful Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic yarn…

fall_in_love4

You can find the pattern of the squares here…They are simple classic squares joined as-I-go using the wonderful pattern of Lucy that you can read all about here…

fall_in_love5

As for the edging, I made a very simple one: 2 rounds of “arcade” (1sc, 3ch, 1sc) all around the blanket and a last round made of 2sc, 3ch, 2sc in every “arcade”…so I don’t know if it is called “picot” or no…it is just 2sc,3ch,2sc in eachΒ “arcade” and I really don’t know how I did to make them look so pointy πŸ˜‰

fall_in_love6

I really really enjoyed crocheting this blanket…

And those warm colors are so my kind of color’s “pallette”

Nato and Bachir…I hope that you’ll enjoy this blanket, that it will keeps you warm and cosy during the cold days of winter… and that it will be a part of your loving home during the coming years of your life together πŸ™‚

Weekending

Hello!

How was your weekend?

MineΒ was good …at home…

fall_in_love_8_rows1

I’ve made some progress with “fall” in love…8 rows already…

I always make a square with each color…without finishing the last joining round…and then I lay them all on the floor to choose the place of each color…

fall_in_love_8_rows2

…writing the colors on a piece of paper…(very bad memory πŸ™‚ )

fall_in_love_8_rows3
