My Sophie's Universe Crochet along 2015

I started this blanket and fell in love.  I am going to make one for each of my girls.  Each of my girls have picked their colors.  Now I need to get organized and start.

Here is mine- I will post updates until it is finished. 

And so it begins- I wanted a blanket with COLOR- to shake off the winter months.

And she grows.

Snowflake Blanket

I finally finished my winter project.  I took a few months off to heal from my carpal tunnel surgery.  Hand works great now. 
This blanket is in my top favorites.  I improvised a border edging that makes me think of little snowflakes.

Owls for a friend

These are owls that I made for a frind for Christmas.  Her whole family loves owls and I made one for each of her siblings.

Done in a day chunky scarf

Chunky scarf- done in just a few hours.

I have wanted to work with a huge hook since I saw my favorite crochet guide, Mikey, post a tutorial on Tunisian crochet with a massive hook.  See link below.

Tutorial from Mikey of Crochet Crowd 

I shopped for a hook on line and found they were expensive ($30 dollars).  Then last week while Christmas shopping in Hobby Lobby, my husband made a joke about- "what would you hook with that".   It is a 25.00 MM hook for $10.  I was so happy, he bought me an early Christmas present.

I also got 4 skiens of yarn.  I doubled the yarn and found that with just 4 skiens of yarn and a little over two hours I had made a 7 foot scarf.  

I toyed with single crochet and double but found that half double crochet was the look I liked.

I hope you enjoy.  I hope you give it a try. 

Crochet- baby blankets 2013

Found pics from Two baby blankets I made this year.

The first is a star blanket I made for a coworker having her first Grandbaby.

 The second blanket I  made for by bestest of friends.  This was for her first baby.  

 

Crochet- some of my 2013 projects

My latest project that was entered into crochet challenge.  It is called a "Kaleidoscope Afghan".

The challenge is found at:
http://www.thecrochetcrowd.com/challengess.html

I have been exploring color more and more this fall.  The previous blanket is a Corner to Corner afghan in a rainbow theme.  Emilia claimed this one before I finished the border.

In the Spring I did another blanket Called a "Garden Gate blanket.

All three of these patterns came from Mikey of the Crochet Crowd
http://www.thecrochetcrowd.com/

I have also made some purses and shawls. 

 

one for Emilia-

And shawls-

I have a few projects in the works- Am working with color and design.  More to come.

Happy St. Patricks Day

Had to do this one for Amy- she loves green and St. Patty's.

This little gem can be done with three or four leaves.  I got the pattern of a Pintrest post.  Basic loop with three petals and then a single crochet stem ( I did six and then single crocheted back up to the base).

The Pintrest post link is:

She did this as a chain- I left the shamrocks as individuals with a pin backing and gave them to my kids and coworkers.

Have fun.
