wips

Good morning!

I’ve had the worst internet connection ever these past days and today it is still very bad but I couldn’t resist writing a new post…even though it is taking me ages to upload one single pic πŸ™

How are you lovelies?

I’ve began a new baby blanket but this time it is for a little boy’s cousin πŸ˜‰ due in july…

Here is the yarn…not my kind of colours but I think they are great for a baby…

I enjoyed every second working on this blanket and I’m so in love with it…

The yarn is very very soft…a pure pleasure to touch…It is called: Nako Lux Ninnos a mixture of 50%polyamid 50%acrylic….worked with a 3.5 mm crochet hook…

And for the edging part, I crocheted one granny round in light purple and a second one in white with picot (3ch-1sc in the first ch)

I love “picot” I think they add a very beautiful touch to the finished project πŸ™‚ don’t you agree?

Little crochet…my granny shawl is done and I took it with me to the hospital…can’t wait to show you…
The south bay shawlette is half done and I began joining the squares of the baby blanket…

Can’t wait to get back to my normal blogging and my everyday life again … I’m still feeling very weak πŸ™

Thank you so much for all your sweet emails and comments asking me how I was… They made me feel better …
Love to all…
See you soon
