Grey C2C Square Afghan in progress

By

I’m in the process of crocheting another ‘On the Bias Square Afghan’. One of the things I like best about this pattern is it’s a c2c pattern. I’ve decided to make it the size of the pattern instead of trying to make it larger like I did the first one.
I’m enjoying making this one better than I did the first one. I guess it’s because I’m finally comfortable with the pattern.

The days are grey and rainy with a few sporadic splashes of sunshine. Crocheting is a good way to pass the time.

Wishing you all a week of sunshine and smiles.

 

Gray Busy Work Blanket

By

A few weeks ago, I decided the best way to wait for inspiration for a new project was to begin make another busy-work blanket. I had plenty of gray yarn. I thought it’d be nice to see what a solid color busy-work blanket would look like.  I figured, I could work on it until another project came by and then put it down. About a week later I got an idea for that ‘another project’, however I discovered that I didn’t want to put my Gray Busy Work project down. So, I continued on crocheting my busy-work project.
I once again, enjoyed mindlessly v-stitching away, crocheting on the back porch (when the weather allows), or listening to radio shows or watching TV in the evenings.
My gray busy-work blanket will be finished soon. I’ve got the panels ready to join together. I’m kind of sad about it.
Hopefully, I’ll post an update soon.

Here’s wishing your busy-projects to be enjoyable ones!

 

 

Finished C2C Bias Blanket Crochet Kit

By

In an earlier post about the ‘On the Bias Square Afghan’ crochet kit project I was working on, I mentioned about increasing the size 15 inches and needing another skein of yarn? Well, as it turned out, instead of 1 more skein, I needed 2 more skeins. That makes 4 skeins to make this blanket. (although I only used about 1/3 of the 4th skein) Thankfully this yarn’s soft creamy antique white color matched in all 4 skeins.

With my guessing about rows to increase the size, I miscalculated and turned the original square into a rectangle. It measures 60 inches by 72 inches. It’s a really nice large size blanket.

Unfortunately, it’s got a bit of a warp to it and doesn’t fold up evenly.  It’s still a warm blanket and it quite pretty too.

I made-up a different border than the solid one in the original pattern. I figure I had plenty of yarn, might as well use it. I think my border gave it a bit more character.
I’m glad this blanket is finished. I enjoyed making it. I’m not in a hurry to start another big project, but it doesn’t mean I won’t. I can never tell about me. ☺️

I’m now searching for my next project, I wonder what it will be.

Wishing you all Happy Crafting Success!

Bias crochet blanket update

By

I’m still enjoying this crochet pattern. This past weekend, I was happy when I reached the half-way point. Okay, I must admit that it wouldn’t have taken so long, but I decided to add 15 inches to the blanket. I did the math and the 2 skeins of yarn that I originally purchased with the kit might get me 3/4 of the way finished, more or less. I ordered another skein and for sure that will be enough to finish the blanket… (I hope)

Wishing you all a week of enjoyable projects.
