"done", Corners of my home, Crocheted blankets, granny squares

Grannies tadaaaaaaaaa

Morning beautiful people!

I’ve finished my granny squares blanket and I am very proud to show it to you today 🙂

Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyy 😉

Here are some technical infos for you between the pics:

* Yarn: Mirage (a 100% acrylic yarn). I don’t know exactly how much yarn I used because I used mostly scraps and 3 balls of 100g of white. I think it is a total of 10 balls of 100g each or maybe a little bit less…

* Hook: 3.5mm

* Square: A 6 rounds (the last one in white) traditional granny square. You can find its graphic HERE!

* Joining: I joined my squares with the last white round as-I-go. You can find more about this joining method in Lucy’s wonderful blog HERE!

* Dimensions: Appr. 240×100 cm with a total of 128 squares

* Edging: Clusters of 3dc (as for the square) but with a picot between the clusters instead of 1 chain. (To make the picots, I crochet 3chain and then 1 sc in the first chain). I love this simple edging and keep using it 🙂

This blanket is making me very happy. It transformed our room making it fresher and warmer at the same time 🙂 I love that every time I enter our room I have a smile on my face 🙂

Crochet, my dear friend, is magical 🙂

I hope that you enjoyed these 10 pics of my latest blanket …

Sending you all my love through this post!

Take care

"done", My family, poncho

yaaaayyy for ponchos :)))

Today is a double tadaaa post dedicated for ponchos 🙂

The girls ponchos are done and they are looking gorgeous wearing them today 🙂

I enjoyed every single stitch crocheted… They are very very easy to make…

Using a soft acrylic yarn called baby nako and a 3.5mm hook …

I made a super simple edging with picots as a last round: 3dc…3chain+1sc in the first chain …3dc etc etc

I love picots… and I think that they are very cute as edgings 😉

Here are the ponchos done and already in good use 😉

The girls are in love with their ponchos and I am very very happy that they love them that much 🙂 proud mama 😉

You can make your own poncho following this pattern right here 🙂

It is very simple to make and you’ll enjoy crocheting it 🙂

Leaving you with a last pic of my Sarah who lost her first tooth last week 🙂

Have a super day my friend

and happy crocheting!

"done", poncho

My poncho

It is done! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! It was done last week but could’t share it because the children ( all 3 ) were sick at home. Today the girls feel better and are back to school. Baby Joe is still at home but he is feeling much better too 🙂 So, today, life is good again and I thought about sharing with you my poncho 🙂

You know that I don’t like to see myself in pics so this is me without the head 🙂

I think I will not wear it outside the house… It will be a kind of “wearable blanket” that keeps me warm while I move around 🙂

Hubby is jealous 😉

It was crocheted with a 100% acrylic yarn called Nako Vizon. It is very similar to the Stylecraft DK but a little little bit thicker. The hook used is a 4.5 mm one.

A white background would be better for this pic I know…

The squares of this poncho were joined as-I-g0. I did the front and the back separately and sew them together at the end. You can find the chart of the squares on the right sidebar of my blog under the name : circle in a square. (I don’t know why I can not make a proper link here 🙂 Sometimes I just don’t understand this computer 🙂

Some close up pics 🙂

with curious little hands 🙂

I used the moss stitch to make the edging. (1sc-1ch-1sc etc etc ) and added some picots for the last round 😉

Did I say that I am in love with my poncho? No not yet…

Well… I AM MADLY TOTALLY TRULY IN LOVE WITH MY PONCHO.

I am right now wearing it while writing this post 🙂 and I want to make two more for the girls 🙂 Maybe with a thinner yarn and without the black background of course … We’ll see 😉

Until then stay warm (under a blanket or a poncho)

and have a beautiful sunshiny and colorful day!

Love

"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

Sucrette

"done", Crocheted blankets, fabric cushions, granny squares, sewing, shawl

Hello there!

Good morning sweeties,

I’ve been away from this blog due to some family time, school preparations and home organisation….pfff… Next week I’ll be taking some rest finally… and I’ll be more present here (I hope so…)

I missed you guys and missed blogland and missed writing on this blog…Life can sometimes be like a race against time (google translate thank you 🙂 )

I thought I’ll pop by today just to show you little bits of my creative life… There is so much going on there but so little time for blogging… I finished the cushion you saw above… I sew these hearts by hand and I like how it turned out…

I am still working on these granny squares (that I still don’t know what they’ll become hahahaha )

I am loving this project so much! Oh how I love granny squares 🙂

It is I think the best thing I love to crochet… granny squares 🙂

And I love how the colors melt together… A perfect project for quite evenings when the children are in bed FINALLY … It is the best hour… I feel like all the tiredness of the day just goes away when I hold my hook… around 8 o’clock…

and I started something new too… (can’t help myself) (If you follow me on facebook or instagram you already saw this pic below)…

It is a shawl in the most perfect and soft blue color… (This pic does not show the color as it is “live” I’ll try next time to have a more accurate pic 😉 )

I asked hubby when showing him this : What are you seeing? He answered: Nothing. 🙂 But I was really happy that when I posted the pic on instagram and facebook you ladies saw hearts like myself…Yes, I saw hearts and fell in love with this…

It is a very old paper (a photocopie in black and white) I found in my mother’s house and I just could not help myself trying out the diagram… and it worked… and I am loving how it is turning out… So, if you’re interested, I’ll try to take a pic of the diagram and post it for you…

That’s all sweet ladies around the globe… It was a pleasure being with you today… I’m sending you all my love and lots of kisses!

Thank you for visiting, for commenting and for asking about the situation in my country… You can never imagine how much I appreciate your kind messages 🙂

THANK YOU!
