My vintage blanket: the edging

Good evening!

Just a quick post tonight to post the graphic of my vintage blanket’s edging…and to tell you THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments on my previous post! I am really lucky to have you all … and so happy everytime to share with you and read your sweet words…

So, here it is…

To make one picot crochet 3 ch and then 1 dc (or sc for the U.S crocheters) in the first ch.

I just love this edging…The picot are a little “pain in the a…” but the result really worth it … simple but beautiful don’t you think?

Have to go now….

Sweet dreams!

Crocheted blankets, Flower in a square

My vintage blanket: it is D O N E !! Hurrayyy!

Good morning!

My vintage blanket is done 🙂 Finally, the first blanket which is all mine, yes mine 🙂 This time, I will not for any any reason give away this blanket… (selfish on Christmas time this is very very bad 🙂 )

I love this blanket…I love MY blanket… wanna see it ?? yalla…

It is so “wintery” with all this white… like a field of flowers in a snowy morning … mmmmmh

The yarn used is Nako vizon a 100% acrylic yarn.

The hook: 4.5mm

Don’t ask me about the number of colors, I don’t exactly remember…It was leftovers I had in my stash with maybe 8 or 9 100g ball of off-white yarn…

150 squares joined as-I-go 🙂 You can find the graphic pattern of the square here.

And after I joined all the squares together I’ve made this border which I adore. I’m gonna post the graphic pattern of this edging next time maybe, so if you’re interested, stay tuned 😉

Dim: 110×165 cm

Last night was my first evening snuggled under my blanket while crocheting my rainbow ripple in front of the fire lit in the fireplace… a PERFECT evening 🙂

and you? what is for you a perfect evening?

5 more days before Christmas… The count down has began 🙂

I wish you a PERFECT monday, a PERFECT week and a perfect Holidays season 🙂

Rainbow ripple : a colorful update

Hello hello helloooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well….wow…I am so happy that you loved so much little Teddy ! Thank you thank you thank you for your support and sweetness 🙂 The pattern will stay in the right side bar of this blog if anyone still wants to buy it 🙂 and if anybody paid and did not know where to download it please e-mail me and I’ll send it right away by mail for you to download!

Today, I want to show you some progress I’ve made to my rainbow ripple…

It is very colorful…I warn you…I MUST WARN YOU 🙂

So? Are you reaaaaaaaaaaaady?

The yarn I’m working with is Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic yarn crocheted with a 4.5mm crochet hook.

In my basket that I cherish so much 🙂

I want to tell you sweeties that if you’re looking for a similar basket don’t give up hope… 😉

I’ve been looking for this basket for more than a year, then one day I saw it by mistake in our local church. The priest was sweet enough to give it to me saying that it was too big and too heavy for them and that they needed a smaller one…So, I took it home 🙂 and my heart was singing of joy 🙂 I was soooo happy 🙂 and the next day I took 2 smaller baskets to the church with a very big “thank you” …

This is to tell you that sometimes when you’re looking too hard for something you don’t find it…and then, one day, you find it by mistake in a so inappropriate place for it … that’s life 🙂

I hope that you enjoyed my rainbow update 🙂 I feel that when I’m crocheting this blanket my mood changes… I feel happy and relax as soon as I make a couple of stitches… Magical, soothing crochet 🙂

Have a relaxing and happy day!

Rainbow ripple: A new WIP on the go…

Good morning my friend!

How are you feeling today? I hope that a big smile is illuminating your face in this grey morning 🙂

Another Monday, another week, another day to love, another day to be thankful for all the joys granted ! Trying to live everyday as if it is my last… (trying, just trying, sometimes it doesn’t work 😉 )

I enjoyed so much my ripples of happiness that once it was done I felt like something was missing in my crochet life… so, I started another ripple … yes another one 🙂

Although I am still crocheting Myyy vintage blanket (I’m joining the squares of the last 4 rows now) I needed a ripple as second wip…to alternate between the joys every project gives and to not get bored too…

So, I had to…start another ripple…

Let’s show you first the yarn…mmmh…yarn is one of the best things man has ever invented 😀 hahaha Don’t you agree? 😀

I want this time to use the colors of the rainbow as they are…

… pure and bold and in sequence as in a rainbow…

…because nothing is better in a grey and cold day (or night) of winter than to snuggle under a rainbow warm blanket 🙂

The yarn is (once more) Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic and very soft yarn… (still waiting for their online shop so you can order your nako yarn too wherever you are around this globe 😉 )

I’m following this pattern…

choosing the colors as they come in the rainbow…

and alternating the number of rows of every color as in Lucy’s ripple…

I’m loving it so far… loving it loving it toooooo much… I even crocheted the pink-red-orange part and it is “light” mmmh a lovely warm kind of “light” but I did not take pics yet (I’ll show you next time)

and did you spot my new basket??? It is the most perfect basket for crochet I’ve ever had so far… It is big enough to hold all the yarn colors I use (sometimes more than 20!) and it can even holds two WIP together 🙂 I’m in love with it!

Have to go now… I’ve got a very busy day today!

Sending you BIG parcels of love through this post… Catch them 😉

Have a lovely day!
