crochet love

Good morning sweeties,

I’ve been crocheting a lot…a really lot these days…It seems like the hook is burning in my hands and yarn is flying everywhere around me πŸ™‚ A lot of creative ideas are melting in my head and I feel every night that I am running out of time to make all I want to make and I wish that the days were longer (a 48h day is good for me πŸ˜‰ )

I am working on more than 4 wips at the same time…Yes, each day I am picking 3 different hook sizes and working with them… crochet crochet crochet every second of myΒ free time πŸ™‚

Here are some…yes some of my wips of the moment…

1-poncho

* My poncho: The front is done…All the circles of the back are done too…Still have to join them and sew the front and the back together and decide on an edging πŸ™‚ So, a tadaaa post very soon πŸ˜‰

* The crochet mood blanket… January 25… 25 squares done so far…I am adoring this project πŸ™‚ and how the squares of my moody days are coming along together beautifully…

* A new granny cushion with the wonderful mirage yarn πŸ™‚ I love the colors of the mirage range but it is a thinner yarn worked with a 3.25 mm hook so small projects are done with itΒ (You see I am not so patient to work a blanket with this yarn πŸ™‚ )

7-secret-project

* A new secret project with a chunky yarn will be revealed to you very soon I hope πŸ˜‰

Blogging about my wips is a way for me to stay focused on them and remember to finish some before beginning others. That don’t always work … but I am trying my best πŸ˜‰

Wishing you a wonderful creative week!

Kisses from the bottom of my heart

Something new on my hook…

Good morning sweeties

This weekend I started something new…Yes I know I have already 4 crochet wips and one knitting but I could not help myself…

Inspired by this wonderful blog and the beautiful ponchos they make, I started a poncho for myself… a big poncho …something like a wearable blanket… Something that will keep me warm and free my hands and feet to move and do things at home… Something I can wear while crocheting in front of the T.V during the cold evenings…

And how big was my surprise when I read this morning Lucy’s post and discovered that she started a poncho for herself too πŸ˜€

poncho-wip2

This poncho I am crocheting is made of granny squares and a black border. I am loving too much the black against the other colors…

I started the front and the back separately….and I’ll sew them together once they are done…

poncho-wip3

I am using leftovers from my stash, mostly 100% acrylic nako vizon yarn with a 4.5mm hook…

You can find the graphic pattern of the square here.Β I’ll join the squares as I go and once the front and the back crocheted I’ll sew them together…

poncho-wip4

That’s all my friend! I hope that you like my new wip… Feel free to join me and crochet a happy poncho for yourself! Come on! Let’s crochet along πŸ™‚

Have a wonderful week, stay warm and crochet crochet crochet πŸ™‚

December

There is something I don’t love about December… It is the stress behind this season… The stress sometimes takes out all the beautiful mood you should be feeling in this holy season… I am a “routine” kind of person… I love my every-day and try to just live the moment… Every year I tell myself I should begin early with the Christmas preparations so I don’t stress and stress all my family…

So, this year, I began early …

The house is already on Christmas mode…

The tree is up…

The gifts are (almost) ready and packed…

There is good chocolate in every corner…

Every single detail is pretty organised in my beloved yellow filofax…

6

I am even finding some time to crochet…

7

and add some squares to the granny blanket which is slowly but surely growing πŸ™‚ (Will it become a bedspread?)

8

I have even picked up an old wip and I’m falling in love with it all over again…

So, my friend, this year, I am trying to relax and just enjoy this holy season without stress…

10

And I wish you the same πŸ™‚

Relax, take it easy and have a beautiful warm week filled with joy, laugher and Christmas spirit.

BIG BIG Kisses
