Mooorning!
It feels always sooo good to start a new project…and it feels even better when you start two 🙂 Two projects started together and hope to finish together …
I’m making two blankets for my little girls (yes, blankets, again, blankets and cushions are my favorite things to crochet and I just can not resist when somebody asks for a blanket 🙂 ) 2 blankets to snuggle under while watching T.V…
For my eldest Christina, it will be a ripple…She chose a wavy blanket and she told me that it will reminds her the beach, the sun and summer time during the cold and grey days of winter ( mature thinking for a 6 years old girl don’t you think? 🙂 )
I took this special pattern from an old french crochet magazine and I just love it … love the small holes that break up the waves …
If you’re interested in having this special pattern I’ll be more than happy to make for you a graphic one…It is very very easy to follow and sooo relaxing to crochet….a dreamy-dream-kind-of-pattern…
“Summer time” will be Christina’s blanket 🙂
For my youngest Sarah (4 years old) she said she wants a blanket full of colors, all kind of colors … “Mummy I want you to use all the colors that you have in your craft room I want them AAALLLLL in my blanket” 🙂 Well, this is my girl 🙂 She did not choose a design she just wants colors…
so I decided to make for her a patchwork of tiny squares (2 rounds) with all the colors that I have in my stash (more than 30 actually)…
Don’t know yet how I’ll join the squares, I’m not thinking about this right now… just making squares and enjoying… and it is really going fast 🙂
“Kaleidoscope” will be Sarah’s blanket 🙂
I’m crocheting these two blankets simultaneously (is that a word?)…Picking up one color…crocheting 4 small squares for “kaleidoscope”… then crocheting 2 rows for “summer time”…etc etc…and this is really a LOT OF FUN !! Playing with two different projects …
But before I leave you today I want to thank you for all the sweet messages you are leaving day after day at Le monde de Sucrette 🙂 I really appreciate them all from the bottom of my heart…THANK YOU ! It is really really like a warm and sunshiny good morning every single day for me 🙂
To Wendy: There is no due date for the GIANT Granny Challenge…you can work at your own rhythm without stress and just enjoyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
To Carmen who is our number 84 participant in the GIANT Granny Challenge: A warm WELCOME from all of us 🙂
Have to go now…
Have a wonderful day wherever you are!

Wow! You’re very productive, Angie! 2 blankets! At the same time! Gosh, I want one, too, please 🙂
Thank you dear 🙂 I’m sending you one right now 😛
Superbe ! J’ai une petite préférence pour la première.. mais par la suite je vais peut-être changer d’avis… 🙂 vivement la suite. Pour le schéma, je dis un grand OUI, je le voudrais bien, merci d’avance.
Bonne journée.
Hola. Tengo ganas de ver las dos mantas de tus hijas, seguro que son preciosas. Un saludo.
Hola otra vez. El naranja oscuro que estoy usando en el desafío giant granny square es el naranja caldera. Un saludo.
That’s gonna be loads of work!! But I bet you’ll manage 🙂
Beautiful as usual Angie. Your little girls are going to enjoy their blankets. There is nothing better than a bright colourful blanket to snuggle into when the weather is cold.
Would love the pattern please!! I love the holes in the valleys as well. Thanks Megan
My goodness Angie! You are busy! But that sounds like a good way to enjoy the process — working on both, and yes, simultaneously is a word! 🙂 That way you don’t get bored with one or the other … work a bit on one an then the other. Brilliant! Of course, I can already tell they will both be beautiful. Have a great day. Tammy
Wow, what a great mom your daughters have! And what a lovely daughters you have! Great how they both know exactly what they want and I love the way you work on both blankets. Can’t wait to see the results. Love the ripple pattern with the small holes in it. Makes it just a little more ‘airy’ (is that a word?) than the other ripple pattern.
By the way, congratulations on your monster: it is great and you finished it so remarkably fast.
I’m gonna call you wonder woman from now on 😀 just kidding, but seriously you whip blankies up so fast my head spins. These two new beauties look amazing, really love them 🙂

Ooh, I love your two new starts! The ripple pattern you’re using is lovely. And who can resist a blanket of many colours?
Great starts to new blankies. Love the ripple so far – and can’t wait to see the little squares put together. 🙂
Wow! These wips are filled with inspiration! And COLOR! 🙂 I would love a graphic pattern for both if that’s possible! 🙂 I know when I come to your blog I’ll love what I see 🙂
Grace Ann
Oh yes, those blanket will be lovely! Can’t wait to see more pictures 🙂
What stunning colors in the WIPs!!
Love, love, love your blankets – please do share the graphic for the ripple – would love to make one, too! 😀
LOVE!!! A graphic would be fabulous!!
Lovely proyects!!!!!!Thanks if you will put graphic of ripple.Its very simple to read it. Love to you!!!!
Love them! How fun!
But when do you sleep ???!!!!!!! I am curious to see the kaleidoscope, but i think it will be longer to crochete, no?
Have a good day !
I am loving those bright colours that you have used. That ripple blanket looks wonderful & I can’t wait to see more of the kaleidoscope.
What a wonderful Mom you are. Looking to adopt a 62 year old?
Beautiful colors as always, thanks for sharing.
Barbara
I would love the ripple pattern too, please. I’ve never made a ripple blanket before and this looks like a perfect pattern! Thanks so much.

I love seeing these two blankets grow. The graph is so easy to learn it, and I thank you for including them. You’ll have a graph for the ripple as well? When I make mine, it will be next year as I have three blankets going now, I’ll be sure to send a picture! 😀
Could I ask for the first round how many do you chain before slip stitching to join? thankyou
4chain 🙂
