Crocheted blankets, kaleidoscope blanket

Kaleidoscope blanket: more squares :)

Good morning!

Hope you’re having a good time today…

I, myself, am enjoying a lot a lot “the making of ” Sarah’s blanket …

Crocheting small squares and throwing them here:

This is the kind of project I love to make…

without any thinking and any planification…

just using all (most of all) colors of my stash of Nako yarn: 30 colors 🙂

I’ve made so far 150 little squares (here on these pics you can only see 120 )…still have to do 10 more… and I’ll reach the total of 160 😀

and then I can begin the lovely job of joining :)….yaaayyyy I have a very very small idea here in my head about how to join these little squares…

but I’ll keep it secret because I don’t know yet the result …

So, my lovelies, my next Kaleidoscope post will be a tadaaaaaaaaaa one…because showing you the joining steps will take out all the surprise look of the finished blanket 🙂

But I promise that if the blanket turns out beautiful I’ll make a detailed pattern explaining this “how to join” special method step by step… 😉

Have to go now…

Thank you for visiting today 🙂

Have a lovely day!

Kaleidoscope: some progress

WOW WOW WOW I am sooo thrilled by all the comments you are leaving on the “giveaway” post 🙂 149 so far 🙂 I wish I could make you all winners …

Today, some pics of my Kaleidoscope blanket’s progress…

72 little squares so far…

What I like about this blanket is that I can not predict how it will turn out…I’m just making squares…making squares and enjoying these small 2 rounds without any idea for the joining method 🙂

and when I crochet a small square and throw it in the bucket I feel like I just moved for 1mm a big mountain … What an accomplishment 😀 haha

If you’re interested in the small square pattern you can find it here (just crochet with one color only the first two rounds)

That’s all folks 😉

Have a wonderful day!

P.S: The giveaway is still running here until August 15 ! Good luck!
