Every crochet-lover (like me) have at home a box of left-behind-unfinished-wip-projects, Am I right? We always start a project and something happens (like a new yarn arrival, a photo on flickr, a project on someone else blog that inspires us a lot…) and we leave behind what we’re working on to begin something new more exciting …and this happens always to me…:(

This week, I decided to open the “left-behind-unfinished-wip-projects-box and finish every project in it before end 2010!! and what a challenge for me!!

But, as I will not be able to finish wip-blankets I decided to tranform them into cushions…and That will lead me to make 7 different CUSHIONS !! yaaayyyyyyyy!!

I’ll show you today two projects I am finishing right now:

The first one is a rectangle cushion:

I found in “the box” 60 small granny squares. The original idea was to make a baby blanket and that was in march 2010 but as nobody got pregnant around me I left the baby blanket behind…for something else…

So I decided to join the 60 squares (6×10) together and make a big rectangle cushion:

I’ll show it to you when it will be 100% done in another post 🙂

The second project is a cushion I started in june 2010

I started crocheting this cushion with a thin cotton yarn and when my order of ricco creative (which is a thicker cotton yarn) arrived I left behind this cushion to try the new yarn:)

and today I am finishing it and I’ll show it to you “done” very soon I hope!

and I am also finishing my mexican cushion 🙂

So my dears, stay tuned for a lot of 100% done-cushions-posts soon to come 🙂

and you? Do you have a box of left-behind-projects? Will you empty it like me before end2010??

Here the weather is gray,windy, rainy and cold…the perfect weather to stay at home and crochet …

I am gonna make a cup of tea, put on some music, and and and….crochet 🙂

Have a warm evening!

What’s on my Christmas tree this year…

Good morning sweeties,

How’s everything today? Hope you’re feeling good…in a Christmas mood:)

Here in Lebanon, we make our Christmas tree just after St Barbara’s feast (our halloween:)) the 4th of december.

This year I decorated the tree with the children using old decorations and some new (crocheted of course) of my own;)

Here are some pics from our Christmas tree…

I like when the tree is full of Christmas dec 🙂

and you? What’s on your Christmas tree this year?

Kisses,

Granny MONSTER border’s pattern!

Good morning my friend,

I want to begin this post today by thanking each and every one of you who are visiting “le monde de Sucrette” and leaving lovely and kind comments….It is thanks to you that I was able to finish this huge project and it is because you cheer me up that I can accomplish such great projects…A BIG THANK TO YOU ALL!

This is for you the pattern of my MONSTER border: It is made with 6 rounds:

First, I made 4 rounds of “normal-granny”: round1: white – round2:teal – round3:red – round4: lavender and then round5and6 with the white color…

In this pic, I draw round4(in green),5(in red) and6(in purple):

Hope I made it clear 🙂

This is a very simple border but I love it !

Hope you’ll try it with your next blanket 😉

Have a wonderful day wherever you are,

Sucrette
