Granny Square Baby Afghan

Granny Square Baby Afghan

Whenever you feel as though you are not getting any projects done. The granny square is always there to give you a jump start. I have certainly been neglecting my crochet lately so I decided I needed to finish something. This granny square afghan is orange, a multi color yarn, and a lime green (even though in the picture it looks blueish it is very much a loud lime green). I have left over yarn so I am going to do a completely different baby blanket. I really like this blanket though...maybe I should've made it bigger for myself.

Basket Weave Stitch Baby Blanket

In December I mention the basket weave stitch. I haven't done many projects of late or should I say I haven't completed any. Then someone requested a baby blanket. I decided on the basket weave stitch and is quite happy that I did. I love the stitch it is simple but look complicated and well...it's just plain good looking. I have been working on a throw using this stitch but I don't see myself finishing that any time soon.

Soft Shell Baby Blanket (Blue)

So this is the new blanker using a thicker Red Heart Super Saver yarn. It gives a thicker blanket and the stitches pop better.

The stripe panel is still longer than the shell panel but it was easier to match them up.

Just finished a blanket for a customer. I'll have pictures posted later today. It was a little hard than I thought so it took a bit longer. Mostly it was the joining to the strips that held me up. My blanket doesn't look just like the picture. I suspect it is because of the yarn that I used. All in all I like this blanket and just got an order to make 2 more. If you like the pattern you can find it here.

Also I'm not sure if it's because I used different yarn than what the pattern was written for but the stripe panel is longer than the shell panel so I had to "make" it fit together.

Popcorn stitch baby blanket

 Popcorn Stitch Blanket

I made this blanket for my nephew. This is the blanket where I learned the important lesson of counting stitches. It is made up of sc, hdc, dc, tc and popcorn stitches. I like how it looks and the next time I make one like it I will keep track of what I am doing pattern wise and post it.
