Please meet Miss T.

Coucou!

Hello! Good morning sweeties!

Please meet Miss T. 🙂 She was in a hurry to meet you 🙂 She made you wait too long…and she’s terribly sorry 🙂

Yes, I was making her feets in my previous post…you could have never guessed eh? 🙂

Isn’t she cute?

I love this next dark pic…a lot 😀

I am so happy with my little cutie creation 🙂 When I was crocheting her, I was uncertain about the result…and I was hoping something cute will come out from these little pieces I was making….and sewing together…

but now, I am in love 🙂 and the girls too 🙂

and very proud to show it to you today 🙂

I took a million of step by step pics while creating Miss T. … and I’m off now to prepare a pattern 🙂

Here, it is snowing today, everything is white and the girls are at home (no school) pretty excited 🙂 , so we’re staying indoor in front of the mantel’s fire 🙂 a perfect day !

Hope you’re staying warm too!

Have a marvellous week end!

Love@first sight: Tadaaaaa

Hello lovely people around the globe!

I’m so happy to be with you today and to show you finally my love@first sight blanket 🙂

Do you remember its first post? I was completely in love then … and after I’ve got a little bit distracted…making other projects…and I left it behind…and then when I was hit by the-finish-all-my-wips fever I decided it was time to tadaaaaa it 🙂

There it is….

I could not resist offering it to a dear friend of mine who do not crochet and who fall madly in love like myself….Even if it is sometimes very hard to give away a piece that you enjoyed so much crocheting I always think: I can make another for myself… one day… 🙂

It is now in a beautiful home very very much loved…

Yarn: Nako Vizon (100% acrylic)

Crochet hook: 4mm

Pattern: Here

Hope you’ve fallen in love too 😉

Before I go today I want to give a special thank you to Louise and Wink for giving me the Versatile Blogger Award!

Love @ first sight: some progress

Good morning !

After finishing the baby blanket I decided I have to make some progress on “Love @ first sight” and maybe maybe try to finish it…

This project holds a special place in my heart and I’m still so in love that when I’m crocheting it I feel like my heart beats with joy… I want to make it HUGE…Yes a very very big blanket … Hope I can stay so in Love to realize this wish 😉

So, my lovelies, some pics to show what I did so far…

and did you notice the small hearts ? (specially in the 2d row) Thank you Jane who made me see these tiny hearts in a previous comment 🙂

I’m sending you LOVE LOVE LOVE in this post… did you catch some?

Have a lovely day!

I’m flying to Istanbul by the end of this week for 5 days … Will be back soon 😉

Simple things that are making me feel happy today * …

* My wip “love at first sight” : 5 rows 🙂

* My “azalee” looking great 🙂

*Sweet and cute small hand-painted boxes brought from our honeymoon and that I thought they were lost in the “move” … It feels so great finding them again (Yes, I still have unpacked boxes but shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut 🙂 )

*Two lovely roosters bought recently for Easter decoration :)

*A bunch of yellow flowers on my table so bright and cheerful 🙂

And you? What are the things that are making you feel happy today? Hope there is a lot 😉

Happy Easter !

Love at first sight: the pattern

Good morning sweeties,

It is so great to have you here today…

This is the pattern of “love at first sight” and I must warn you: This is really a love-at-first-sight-kind-of-pattern…You’ll be hooked and totally, deeply taken by it…

It is such a pleasure to crochet and the result is wonderful…specially when you make the last round in black (or it can be in another color) to join as-you-go 🙂

So here is the graphic pattern:

As you noticed I made the last round (the one you join with the hexagons) with half treble … so the black color will not be too much outstanding…

I crocheted first 9 hexagons to try out the pattern…

For this blanket I will work with 26 different colors and the black…Every time I make a blanket I use the same method to crochet and use equally all the colors…If I have 26 colors I make a series of 26 hexagons at a time…26 after 26 after 26…etc

I make first the first round of 26 hexagons: one with every color…

and then I crochet the 2nd round using the 26 colors again…one 2nd round with every color… (putting aside the colors used already)

and then I crochet also the 3d round…one 3d round with every single color…This will lead you to 26 “unique” hexagons 🙂

This method is fast and simple…it saves time and allows you to not have one color used more often than the others…

It will not take out the pleasure of crochet…but it will guarantee you a wonderful result without wasting time to choose the colors and think what color you have to crochet next and what color you did not try yet…It will make you a “blanket machine” 😉 (I love this expression 🙂 hehe ) a blanket machine who enjoys a lot crocheting 🙂

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my posts… They bring every morning sunshine to my day 🙂

Happy crocheting !
