Crochet

Yes, today’s post is all about crochet 🙂 How are you sweet friend?

More progress to show you on Joe’s ripple:

I’m loving so much the colors and working on it.

I’ve began also something new…something I’ll call: Grannies with a twist…

Inspired from this wonderful blanket here…

Using some leftover acrylic yarn called “mirage”

with a 3mm crochet hook…this is what I’ve been up to so far…

I’m loving too much the black with the other colors…don’t you agree?

Stay warm my friend and have a beautiful day

Good morning my friend!

How are you? How’s everything in your part of the world?

Today, I want to show you my finished cowl, the beginning of a new ripple blanket for baby Joe and many other things…

First, there is something that made me super happy this week end:

One of my patterns has been featured in AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns…yaaay 🙂 It is in a free e-book that includes 7 different ripple patterns. Please feel free to download a copy of this lovely e-book from this link:

http://www.allfreecrochetafghanpatterns.com/Ripple/How-To-Crochet-a-Ripple-Crochet-Afghan-7-Free-Crochet-Patterns-eBook

Thank you allfreecrochetafghanpatterns 🙂

So I started a new blanket for baby Joe using this particular ripple pattern…Here is what I’ve been up to so far…

I’m loving so much the colors 🙂

I wanted to make, using the same colors, a moss stitch blanket for Joe…I started it but felt that it will never finish on time and that the winter will pass before he can use it… so I stopped…The moss stitch is wonderful but the progress you make with that stitch specially when you have a time-consuming-little-baby is very very slow…that’s why I chose to make a ripple instead…

Here is my finished cowl using the moss stitch:

Excuse the pics taken with my PJ 🙂 but that’s what I’m wearing most of the days 🙂 hahaha

The cold days are slowly coming in our country and the crocheted bedspreads are back again on our beds…

In Joe’s room:

In the girls’s room:

And in our’s too:

Our room is still waiting for its new beadspread “love birds” which is still not finished 🙁

and finally finally the love of my life…

Baby Joseph who’s now 2 months old

and who’s making his first smiles

Have a happy week 🙂

Big big kisses from the bottom of my heart!

Crocheted blankets, for babies, Ripple

The joyful ripple

Good morniiiiiiing!

The first project for number3 is done 🙂 ! Hourray! and I love it! It is so easy and quick to finish a baby blanket that you become addicted and you want to crochet more and more! It is a really fun experience and you feel very happy to finish so quickly a project 🙂

Some pics of the joyful ripple for you my friend to enjoy …

Here it is:

The yarn is called “Mirage” and it is a 100% acrylic yarn crocheted with a 3mm hook… I really love this yarn…very soft (perfect for babies) with super colors …it is very similar to the Stylecraft special DK but a little thinner and the quality is better wash after wash…

I buy this yarn form a local shop here in Beirut …don’t know if they have an online shop…

The pattern of this ripple can be found HERE. It is a very easy to follow pattern and I love how it turns out 🙂

I did not make a border for this blanket as I prefered to leave it as it is and have the “waves” from two sides …

I am now on my week 17 of pregnancy… don’t know yet if it is a boy or a girl…will know maybe on the 7th of May (on my birthday) 🙂 as I have an “echo” (do we say echo in English?) and will let you know too 😉 of course 😉

I am not feeling until now any baby kicks …I am sooooo waiting for them 🙂 It is one of the best things about pregnancy…to feel your baby living inside of you…

So, my lovelies, that was the first finished project for little baby 🙂 The joyful ripple goes well for both baby boy or girl 🙂 Can’t wait to know if he is a he or she 🙂

I feel that I am on a little cloud of happiness 🙂 flying with birds high on the sky and I have all the time that idiot smile on my face 🙂

I wish to you too a very happy week and an eternal smile on your face 🙂 Life is good!

Big kisses!

The joyful ripple : more progress

Hello sweeties,

I’m totally addicted these days to my baby’s ripple. It is sooo soothing to work on it…so simple and soo relaxing…

I’m really enjoying it…

This is what I’m up to so far … (I’ve already added more rows after I took these pics 😉 )

I’m in love with those colors 🙂

Don’t you think they are yummy?

Have to leave you now…I’ve got a full day today 🙂

Big big kisses and hugs !

The joyful ripple

Good morning sweeties,

How are you?

As you guessed from the title of this post, I’ve began a ripple blanket for my baby…Yes, babies do need blankets, don’t they? and I’m ready to make some for the little one I’m expecting…The first blanket will be a ripple…We’ll see for the others 😉

I’m loving this ripple more than anything I’ve made before (but this is always the case for every project) and I’m loving working on it…

Let’s see some pics…

Do you remember the yarn I’ve shown you HERE?

Well…this is it 🙂 The yarn is called Mirage. It is a 100% acrylic yarn…very soft and a pure pleasure to work with…The yarn is thin (crocheted with a 3mm crochet hook) and perfect for babies stuff…

This kind of thin yarn is kind of new to me as I’m used now to work with my nako and a 4.5mm hook…but it is ok…and I have difficulties putting down my joyful ripple to work on other projects 🙂 I am now totally addicted to it!

The colors are bold and bright. I love these colors for babies and I prefere them to the pastels ones… don’t know why…I don’t like to use a light blue for boys and a light pink for girls…I love bright and sunshiny colors for both 🙂 perfect against the mother’s baby blues 😉

I don’t know yet if I’m expecting a boy or a girl but this kind of colorful project is good for both…

The pattern I’m using is very simple and soooo soothing and relaxing to work on…I think it is my favorite pattern.

You can find it HERE!

I’ve began with a 180 chain (16×11 +4). Your beginning chain must be a multiple of 11 + 4 in this pattern…

I’ve made more and more progress since I took these pics…and it is turing out very nice I must confess…will show you very soon 🙂

Have to go now… I’m taking the girls today to the hairdresser for a spring cut 🙂

Thank you so much for your visit,

Have a beautiful day!
