First up, two finished projects, made for my soon-to-be-in-this-world niece, called, for now, Snoopy. A Baby Surprise sweater made from Dale Ulla in several shades of pink, and red and cream. I chose the buttons at Brooklyn General Store, where they have a small but very choice selection. I also added the pink single-crochet border to try to correct some of the natural wonkiness of the pattern:
Also completed for Snoopy, a cheerful baby ripple made of Knitpicks Shine Worsted:
In progress, a Giant Granny from remnants of Elizabeth Lavold Silky Wool (looooove those saturated colors, and the yarn works up beautifully on a little size C crochet hook):
And finally, granny squares in Rowan Cotton Glace remnants, very muted oranges, greens, and creams:
All pretty! *Love* the glace granny, choice choice for the header!
ReplyDeletei just bought a book of crochets projects - you are an inspiration. Hope the stormy weather passes.
ReplyDeleteI love those beautifully subtle colours in the granny squares.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, thanks! I'm really into orange lately...
ReplyDeleteCarnalis, crocheting is so wonderful and meditative. Sometimes I prefer it to knitting, depending on my mood. I am absolutely ADDICTED to crocheted ripples in a gazillion colors...
