Baby granny blanket

Hello sweeties!

How’s everything? Hope all is great for you! I am now in my 24th week of pregnancy and I’m feeling good so far…the baby is kicking me a lot and I must confess that this is one of the best things I just love about being pregnant 🙂

Last week, I started a new blanket for him! This is his second one. The first was the joyful ripple if you still remember!

Well, this second blanket will be a granny one for the coldest days of winter as I’m crocheting it with the Nako Vizon yarn and a 4.5mm crochet hook…Wanna see some pics?

First I chose some colors…9 bright and lovely colors for the first two rounds of each granny…

and two colors for round3 and 4 of each square…A lovely light blue with a beautiful brown …

and then I started some grannies just to try out the result of this combination-idea I had on my mind for weeks 😉

and I made 9 colorful 2 rounds-squares … and then I crocheted the third round in light blue…

then I added a 4th round in brown…

I’m joining the squares with this 4th round using the join-as-I-go method…

I just love how this turned out 🙂 what do you think?

I love these blue and brown colors surrounding the others 🙂

There is something about granny squares that make me want to crochet all day long …I just can’t resist them 🙂

I’m using the very classic pattern for these squares. You can find it here!

So, sweeties, I hope you like the beginning of my new wip!

Thank you so much for visiting today and thanks to all of you who voted for Le monde de Sucrette on the 2012 Blue ribbon Blogger awards of Country Living….Even thought I can not win and I just discovered this due to the lovely Denise who left for me a comment saying that this competition was for the residents of the U.S only 🙁 I feel a little dissapointed and a little sad because I let you vote for a comptetion I could not win…so sorry my friend 🙁 I did not knew 🙁

Concerning the baby set pattern: I did not finish it yet…sorry again…cause this weekend I could not find time for it … I promise that it will be ready at the end of this week 🙂

Have a lovely day wherever you are…I’m sending a lot of hugs and kisses your way!

On the hook…

Good morning sweeties,

I am so thankful for all the lovely comments you wrote concerning my home 🙂 I was so happy reading each word …some made me laugh and some brought tears to my eyes (don’t worry it is my “hormones” 🙂 ) Thank you sooo much! Your comments gave me back confidence about my decorating taste and the colors surrounding me…

You gave me back the joy I needed to live peacefully and happily in my loving home and that’s why I’m so thankful to you…You made me appreciate again my place…You really did a great job 😀 THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Today, I want to show you a cushion I’m working on…It is a patchwork cushion crocheted with leftover “Mirage” yarn…

I think my house is full of leftover yarn and I don’t have any ball of yarn that is still totally new 🙂

Mirage is a 100% acrylic yarn worked with a 2.5mm crochet hook. Wanna take a look first to the yarn used ?

Yes, I know, you are like myself a yarn-addict 😉 and you totally love to see yarn pics… I understand 🙂 hehe

I just love the colors and the softness of “Mirage”. The only drawback of this is that yarn is very thin (crocheted with a 2.5 mm hook) but it is ok and I try to get used to it…

and this is the cushion I’m working on…mostly finished 🙂

I hope to make also some new covers for the leather stools I have at home with “Mirage” once the cushion is done…

I love these tiny granny squares joined together as-I-go …

What do you think?

I’m off now to take a cup of coffee in my favorite chair surrounded by my favorite colorful cushions and throws 😉

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sending you big big kisses and hugs through this post 🙂

Poncho’s progress

Good morning lovelies,

Hope you’ve had a great weekend!

Today, I want to show you the progress I’ve made to my poncho so far…

Actually I am not working on it as much as I should…making one round every 3 or 4 days… I am in another kind of planet right now 😉

But it is growing …very slow…but growing…

25 rounds so far…

More progress on the joyful ripple and a new finished painting coming soon 😉

Stay tuned and have a wonderful week!
