Rippling…

Good morninnnnnnnng!

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments and e-mails concerning the table runner… I am very happy that you liked it πŸ™‚

How was your week end? Mine was lovely… lot of crochet…ripples, ripples … joyful ripples…

Do you remember the baby boy blanket I started here? Well, I worked on it… Have to finish it before the mummy gives birth in July πŸ˜‰

I’ve made some progress…look…

I am not used to work with these colours…that’s why it is taking me ages to finish it …

but I am loving it so far….

And I started something with the lovely yarn of Joumana…Remember here?

This alpaca yarn is terrific… so beautiful…so soft…I had to make something for me to wear it on my skin πŸ™‚ It is selfish I know πŸ˜‰

So, I started a scarf….it will be a long long ripples-scarf for me … I love these colors…

The table runner :)

Oh hello lovelies!

It is such a beautiful day today and I’m in love… deeply madly crazy in love with my latest finished project… Are you ready to fall too? I’m sure you are πŸ˜‰

Let’s have some close up pics …

I love love love this simple graphic square…I think it is simple but beautiful… and I love it even more because it is the fruit of my imagination… my own drawing… πŸ™‚

and I love the whole result…the table runner in all its glory…all these bright and beautiful colors mixed together in a lovely patchwork…

I feel happy whenever I enter the sitting room πŸ™‚

Now for the part you are all waiting for: The how to…

I crocheted this table runner with a thin cotton yarn called “Camilla 6/4” and a 2mm crochet hook. I made it by joining as I go the squares together in a randomly use of colors…

I drew for you my friend the graphic chart of this square… It is right here:

graphic square

 

As you noticed, the joining part was made as-I-go with round 5 (in black in the chart) and it is done where I put the arrows…(Instead of the middle chain a slip joining stitch)

Each square was done in a different color and I made a very simple edging (1sc, 4ch, 1sc) all around the whole table runner…

I am in love with it (did I already told you that?? I don’t think so :D) and I think that this graphic square will be beautiful if used to make coasters, cushions or a summer blanket why not?

So, my lovely friend, I’ll have to leave you now with a last pic…

and wish you a wonderful day!

P.S: I draw all my graphic charts including this oneΒ using Corel Draw (a graphic design software) as many of you keep asking me πŸ™‚

and one last thing: Some of you asks me if I can explain some of the charts with written words and I am so sorry about that but I just can’t do it sometimes… I am unable to do it πŸ™ It is too difficult for me as I myself cannot follow an english written pattern πŸ™ not yet! but one day… πŸ˜‰

Kisses to all!

Enjoying my me-time :)

Helloooooo there! How are you?

I’ve been playing with my hook and some cotton yarn in order to make something for my sitting room table… a patchwork table runner…not too big… something simple… a very graphic square I draw and which I am very pleased with right now…

Wanna see?

It is very simple andΒ graphic and I kind of like that πŸ˜‰ It remind me of my graphic design years in college πŸ™‚

I am doing a lot of these squares right now and I’m gonna join them as-I-go…It will be very colorful but with a simple design… I’ll prepare a graphic pattern for it also…if you’re interested in making one too… this square can be used to make coasters, cushions and even summer blankets …why not πŸ˜‰

On the other side, I’m spending a lot of my me-time in my craft room with my brushes and painting πŸ™‚ Oh how I love that!!!!

back-to-painting1

I’ve spoiled myself with a set of new brushes and I am right now finishing a very old big painting I started before getting pregnant with baby Joe…yes, before πŸ™‚ and that was long ago πŸ˜‰

Here is a little peek …

It is too colorful …but I kind of like that πŸ˜‰

I hope that you are making things that makes you happy today…

I am sending you kisses, hugs, sunshine and happy thoughts

Have a good day!

Yes, it is FINALLY done πŸ™‚ I’m very pleased with the result but I must confess I did not enjoyed the whole making process because it was my first one-color-project πŸ™‚ I am not used to work with just one color …I get bored easily πŸ˜‰

The pattern is lovely…It is a free Lion brand’s one and you can find it on ravelry under the name: South bay shawlette… here πŸ™‚

If you like the pattern and you are used to work single color projects… I sooo recommend you give it a go πŸ™‚

The result is beautiful! don’t you think?

Wishing you a beautiful week my friend
