Yarn shopping

We’ve had a wonderfully sunshiny beautiful week in Turkey (Letoonia club – Fethiyeh). Enjoying the sun, the beach, the sand in our toes 🙂

We’ve really needed this one week vacation away from everything to recharge our batteries (mine was really really empty 🙂 )

* I couldn’t resist going to Turkey and not bying some wonderful yarn: chunky yarn in beautiful colors: Alize: This is the first time I’m trying this brand…will tell you more about it once I begin using it 😉 (1st pic) and some of the Nako yarn that were missing from my stash 🙂

Now I am back home, happy, calm, batteries fully charged 🙂 I love my home and I love going back to my crochet wips too. One week without holding a hook that was veryyyyyy long 🙂

Sending you sunshine, colors, and lots of kisses!

Good morning beautiful people!

Hope you’re well, happy and healthy 🙂

Me… Well… I am totally in loVVVVe with my Vstitch blanket…If you’re following me on instagram or facebook you’ll already know that 🙂

This post is about it mostly…my progress on my VintageV blanket so far 😉

There is something about this stitch you can not resist…

It is addictive, soothing, calming, beautiful, fast and easy…

It grows very fast…

and is perfect for crocheting while doing something else… like watching TV or dreaming 🙂

You can try it yourself … there is plenty of written patterns, charts, videos online… or you can try it my way (less holes) HERE 🙂

Give it a go… you won’t regret it 😉

I’ll be away next week for a small vacation in Turkey… Beach, sand, sun and no stress are waiting for me 🙂

I’ll be back very soon 😉

Have a great time!

Hello lovelies,

How are you? Woooow we are July1 already…time flies… 2014 is half gone and I am half done with my Crochet Mood Blanket 2014.

Here it is from January1 (up-left light purple) till June30 (down-right blue turquoise) 😀 Wooow! I am really happy to be up to date with it 🙂 It makes me proud, happy and makes my heart sing with joy.

See? Not so many dark and grey days! Hope that the second half will be as happy as this first 🙂

I am pleased with it even though it will be BIG very BIG . The first half is 120 x 145 cm. So the final blanket will be 145 x 240 cm 😀

And I started also something new…

Well, I am unravelling an wip and crocheting a new one… Remember my Vintage Stripy Blanket? Well, I decided to unravel it because I was not pleased with its sides …they were not straight and it was bothering me … A LOT… So, I decided to unravel it and with every row unravelled crochet a row in a new Vintage-V-blanket 🙂

I love the colors. That’s why I am keeping them as they are…unravelling from here…crocheting there 🙂

And I am falling madly deeply in love with this V-stitch blanket 🙂 It is addictive…and once you start you can not leave your hook anymore 😉

I drew a small chart to show you how I am working on it. You can find online if you google: Crochet V stitch many patterns, charts and videos too…but here is my own “version” with less “holes” 🙂 and I am really pleased with it.

I am working this blanket with a 4.5mm hook and a yarn similar to the Stylecraft special DK but a little thicker. It is called Nako Vizon. A 100% acrylic yarn 🙂

If you have time and are wondering what to crochet, I really advise you to try the V-stitch. It is totally addictive easy and fast to crochet 🙂 You’ll be totally hooked 🙂

Have a super day!
