"done", Classic square, Crocheted blankets

Happy happy happy :)

Good morning!

I am happy happy happy to show you today the happy blankie in all its glory 🙂

It is finally finished and I love how it is right at home here 🙂

Lots of reds, oranges and yellows to match the warm colors of my home …

I love it….looooove it and can’t wait for the cold days to snuggle under it. I think that we are all here waiting for that 😉

I crocheted this blanket with a 4mm crochet hook and used my faithful Nako Vizon 100% acrylic yarn. ( The Nako Vizon is very similar to the stylecraft special DK between.)

The pattern of each square is very classic and can be found here.

As for the joining: I joined the squares with a line of sc. I held each two squares together (back on back) and worked the sc in the back loop of the two facing stitches.

For the edging, when the blanket is very colorful like this one I prefer to have a simple edging: 3sc, 1sc-3ch-1sc, 3sc, 1sc-3ch-1sc, etc etc Or if you want it is: 3sc, 1 picot, 3sc, 1 picot 😉

I love picots and I find them very beautiful on a blanket edge 🙂

I am so in love with my happy blankie. It is made with 155 squares (11×14) and I think that it will be cherished for many years to come …

Have to go now… A lot of wips are waiting for me…

A lot of work in my place too… A lot of everyday family chores but this blog is always in my heart and you too…

So, my sweeties, I hope to be back to you very soon…

Until then, take good care of yourself, stay warm (under a blanket or two 😉 ) and have always sunshine in your heart…

Love and kisses

Another week…

Good mornng everyone!

Another week had gone by so quickly and I feel like I am such a bad blogger 🙁 Don’t know what’s happening to me… why am I always so busy…why am I always so tired… that I sleep sometimes around 9:00 pm…

A lot happened in my colorful world this past week…a lot I did not blog about…

A bunting has been added to the playroom… (please look at the bunting and ignore the mess 🙂 )

A birthday has been celebrated…This little girl of mine turned 6 🙂

Some lovely cotton-crocheted-by-my-mother-shelves have been added to my kitchen…

Oh mum you are THE BEST 🙂 THANK YOUUUUUUUU for these beauties 🙂

This is the kind of crochet I can not simply do… I am not so patient you see 🙂

Crocheting with this thin cotton thread is simply magic and my mother is that kind of fairy 🙂

Some spotty colorful bins have been added to the kitchen too…

The first 100g of soft blue has been crocheted on the “I heart you” shawl…

55 squares have been almost added to the happy blankie squares (yes almost…the 4th row is still missing for 20 of them 🙂 )

You see a lot happened…

I feel like I am a loving but exhausted mum…

a happy hooker …

but such a bad blogger…

Hope that things will get better on this front soon 😉

Wishing you a wonderful week my friend!

Kisses

55 more…

Just a quick post today to say hello…

I’ve began joining the squares of my happy blankie then I just realized I needed 55 more 🙂 Yeah! 55! It is a very small blanket like it is now so I have to make it bigger and add 5 rows of 11 squares each 🙂

I love love love this blanket so much and I really want it to be perfect in size…So…

I am off now to crochet 55 more squares 🙂

Have a beautiful day!

Sucrette

P.S: I apologize for my lack of posts these days… I am making-cleaning-organising all the closets of my home and it is taking me ages to finish!!! Hope to be back for good here next week 😉

It is all about crochet …

Good morning sweet people around the globe!

It is always so nice to have you here…Thank you all for your wishes on Baby Joe’s birthday 🙂 Your nice words made my day 🙂

Today’s post is all about crochet… and I am not feeling super sure about myself anymore…I will explain…

These days I am like a child experimenting with his new toys… I feel like I just learned how to crochet and I lost my self confidence …

I will not say that these will become bedspreads… I will not even say that they will be blankets…neither cushions… I will just enjoy crocheting…just enjoy the stitches I am doing and the making of whatever they will turn into…

I am afraid to make plans…even crochet plans…that’s how I am these days…

I left behind the crazy ripple I was doing…did not like how it is turning out as a bedspread…I tried it on the bed and did not like what I saw…did not feel it…

This is the first time something like that is happening to me: 22 hours of crochet for nothing…I am so dissapointed… Maybe I’ll finish it one day as a blanket… and maybe not…

Now I am making these grannies and classic squares that … I hope … will turn into something…

Using my leftover stash…I’ll try to enjoy crocheting…just crocheting…without thinking about the result….

Did you experience something like that before? Did you one day lost your self confidence about your trustful craft? Did you left behind a project you were crazy about and spent on it long hours of crocheting-knitting?
