Olé Olé blanket: DONE!!!
Good morning my lovelies,
It is so good to see you today and begin with you this lovely week…
My ripple blanket is finished 🙂 I enjoyed so much crocheting it that when I made the last row I felt really sad 🙁
It is a real pleasure to work on….
and now with no more blablabla …some pics for you to enjoy…
I called it Olé Olé blanket because of all this red and black…
You can feel that it is a Spanish blanket…you can carry to dance some Salsa!! Olllllllllé !
Dim: 120×160 cm a good sized blanket to snuggle under 🙂
Here (above) is a pic to show you the border…Do you love it? It is very simple to make…
I’ll try to post a graphic pattern of the border next time if you’re interested…
Wanna jump in this pic? me too 😉
and in this one toooooooooooooooooooooooo………………………..
Before I go I want to show you my plastic box full of yarn ends….
I am in love with all these little treasures that I keep project after project (and I know that I am not alone 🙂 )
So the good news is that on the beautiful blog of Elizabeth Cat she is gonna show us very soon how to make a heart with those cute little yarn ends 🙂 Thank you Elizabeth!
A very last pic of Olé Olé before I go…Hope you loved it as much as I do <3
I wish you a lovely week full of lovely moments to fill your heart with …
Big big kisses,
Sucrette

It’s truly a lovely blanket, Angie!! I love all the colors and the border, too! What are you going to be making next, I wonder? Can’t wait!
Have a great week!
Wow Angie! That is one of the nicest ripples I have seen! Gorgeous! I think it is the addition of the black..it gives it real depth. And that border is lovely too. Looking forward to seeing how you did it. xxx
Beautiful work – what an accomplishment! Love the edging!

Hi! Your blanket is lovely!!
Wow, I love It, I love it, I love it!!!!!!
Just one word, Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elle est tout simplement superbe, j’adore la forme , la taille et la bordure… TOUT quoi … et le choix de la laine :-).
Pourrais-tu faire un petit schéma du point de la couverture et de la bordure que tu proposes déjà. Merci d’avance.
That’s a beautiful blanket and the name is very appropriate. I quite like the simple edging too.
well done!!!
Stunning!! Angie, if I ever find the patience to make a blanket, I think something like this would be great for me to make. I like the ripple pattern a lot and I think for me it is better than squares. Love your colour choices!
Love to see how you did the border, esp. on the ends! Looks wonderful!
Dear Angie,
WOW…what a great Work of your Chrochet!!!
Fantastic! I love this Blanket and all this colourful and joyful Colours…very, very beautiful!
The Border also did a wonderful job and I would be glad if you write a grafic pattern for us…Thank you so much!
I’m curious what comes next … and I’m looking forward.
Your blog is so beautiful and happy!
Enjoy your Week and i send you many, many Greetings

Hi there Sucrette,
Another lovely project finished, congrats!!
I just had to comment on your ‘jar of ends’. I too keep ends from every project, anything over about 4″ long. This is because one of my favourite things to make is a huge clown toy designed by Jean Greenhowe. His name is Godfrey Gadabout and he’s a tourist clown. Anyway, his scarf (gotta be prepared for cold as well as rain, sun etc LOL) is supposed to be a tatty, well worn one and as such it’s made from loose ends of yarn, all knotted together into a huge ball and then you knit with that!! I think it’s great cuz I generally only make the clowns for those that want the whole set (and by now there are a LOT of them 5 in the first book, 2 plus 2 postboxes in the 2nd book, 3 in the 3rd book, then a single golfer clown, a snowman clown and then another 5 child clowns in the latest one) so I do Godfrey last by which time there is a beautiful assortment of ends of yarn to knit with and that scarf is testiment to all the others that I’ve done in the series and I can have fun remembering making them while finishing the last in the set!!
OOOh Paula I would love to see the clowns you make…they must be beautiful … Do you post the pics somewhere?
Your afghan is beautiful. Love all of the fun colors you used in it.
wowie de powie! (try to prenounce that haha!) You are not only a cushion-make-factory but also very good in blankets!!! Super Angie! Love love love it!
I love the result and all the ccolours!
Greetings, Mriek

I can’t wait to see how you did the border. PLEASE TELL!
Congratulations! It’s a really spanish name…
I have my own box full little yarn ends!
Wow! It’s lovely – so warm looking! I love the colours!
Wonderful colour choices, I’m sure you will have a smile on your face (and dancing feet) while you snuggle under it ☺
It’s so gorgeous! I like the idea of keeping those yarn ends…. I simply haven’t thought of doing that, i’ve just been throwing them away (or giving them to my daughter to play with but then they also just end up in the bin :)).
Angie, this is lovely! Ole, ole, oleeeeeeee!!!
Would be interested in having a diagram or something of the edge as it is very unusual and pretty.
Am also curious about what Elizabeth (and you) do with the ends…. x Pati
BEAUTIFUL 🙂
You are right – I want to wrap myself in it and dance!! Would you please be willing to share the pattern for the blanket and the border as well. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful inspiring work.
Barbara
Beautiful – the colours are so vibrant and cheerful.

whatta lotta yard ends. Aren’t you good to keep them. Gorgeous ripple
Hi Sucrette! It`s me again! I just fell in love with this blanket!!! What sort of yarns did you use? I guess it is not cotton…. Who produces them? I looked for some yarns like this but I cannot find so bright colors (((((
Hello Lara,
The yarn I used for this blanket is a 100% acrylic yarn called “Nako – Vizon” It is produced in Turkey and I buy it from a local shop here in Lebanon…
Hope this helped 😉
Oh, thanks a lot!!!!!!!! It is very much helped!!! I even found their site. There is a large selection of yarns!!! You know I’m knitting for more than twenty years, but I never thought about knitting blanket… And now you inspired me to try this one!! I am very grateful to you for this! I’ll wait for your next creations!!!
Lovely in every way. Wowee!
it looks amazing! must be such a good feeling to get it done albeit sad…
i’m almost finished mine and it will be a sad affair too!
xo
Love your blanket have you a pattern would like to try to make it

Bonsoir angie cette couverture est splendide, comme toutes tes réalisations, d ailleurs. Pourrais tu, svp, me dire comment il me faudrait monter de maille chaînette pour une couverture de 120 x 60 il s agit des lit de bb et pourrais avoir le diagramme de la bordure qui est parfaite. Merci beaucoup et fait nous encore rêver avec tes belles choses. Bonne soirée. Caramere
