Latest Busywork Busy-V Blanket Update

By

I’ve decided to make a few changes to my latest Busywork Busy-V Blanket.
I’m using just 2 colors and making it a smaller throw.

It’s not as much fun making this throw (so far) as it was the other blankets.
The reason my enthusiasm is less this time, it’s been too cold and snowy for me to sit outside and crochet. :/

Wishing you all wonderful weather
for a pleasant rest of the week.

 

Patchwork Busy-V Blanket

By

I’m happy that I finally have a new project to do.
I had better luck getting my supplies together to make this project.
Yep, it’s another ‘Busy-Work’ V stitch crochet blanket.
busy-vcolorboxI’ve planned for the color blocking to be more squared to give it more of a patchwork look.
As you can tell, my busy-v pattern is my favorite, right now. This is Busy-V blanket number 3. I like that it’ll keep me busy for a few weeks or more.

I hope y’all aren’t getting too bored with my Busy-Work blankets. I figure my enjoyment for working this pattern may eventually run its course. Or maybe not… I never know about me. 😁

Wishing you all enjoyable busy work!

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!

 

 

Busy-Work Blanket Finished

By


I finished my busy-work blanket. The open v-stitch pattern I used with this blanket has made it lighter and airier than most of my blankets I’ve made. I ran out of the blue color and used other colors in its place. I think it worked out pretty good. Plus it helped me use up some more of my yarn hoard stash. 😊
The blanket is 60 inches x 72 inches. It’s a really nice size.

I hope you all have a pleasant week with wonderful weather.
