And for the edging part, I crocheted one granny round in light purple and a second one in white with picot (3ch-1sc in the first ch)

The granny shawl :)

Hellooooo my friend!

How are you today? It is already spring in my part of the world πŸ™‚ the sun is happily shining πŸ™‚

The granny shawl is done and I can’t wait to show it to you…

Remember the beautiful yarn that the generous Joumana sent me? (You can read all about it here) Well…It turned into this…

granny-shawl-1

A beautiful springy granny shawl…

granny-shawl3

I love this shawl…I love its colours…I love its softness πŸ™‚ I love everything about it …

granny-shawl4

Yes, I know…I’ve began a diet πŸ˜‰

granny-shawl5

As you can see from the pic above…the shawl is big…

You can make your own shawl following this pattern here…You can find also the pattern in the right sidebar of the blog between the patterns for free πŸ™‚

granny-shawl6

It is a very easy to follow pattern…relaxing and soothing like all crocheted-things-granny πŸ˜‰

granny-shawl7

The yarn was a pure pleasure to crochet πŸ™‚ Thank you once more dear Joumana…

granny-shawl8

This shawl I’ve made is for you Joumana πŸ™‚ I hope that you’ll love it as much as I loved to crochet it for you…I’ll contact you to see how can I send it to you as a thankful gift for all the wonderful yarn you’ve sent me πŸ™‚

So, my dear friend, I hope you liked the granny shawl πŸ™‚

I’m preparing right now a post about how I hide the yarn ends in my projects as many of you are asking…

Have a beautiful day!

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…

fall_in_love7

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

fall_in_love8

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™‚

fall_in_love11

One last pic with “instagram” before leaving you today…
