xsLove Story WIP

I started a cross stitch project for my niece who is getting married this weekend. As you can see, I will have to mail it to her after the wedding but better late than never. I have another crochet project that I am looking forward to so I hope to share some progress on that soon. Have a great weekend ♥

Finish Hello Spring afghan

Here is the finished afghan! It ended up to be 43" wide by 58 1/2" high. 

I am so excited to start another crochet project.

 

 Save time for some stitching this coming weekend.

WIP Hello Spring

Here is a quick update of my crochet project.  I am ready to start the envelope border for this.

If you are celebrating Memorial Day take time to pause and honor our fallen heroes.

I also hope everyone finds time to stitch.

Crochet WIP Hello Spring

I have done a few more sections on the latest mosaic crochet afghan.

A weekend of stitching sounds delightful with the rain forecast we have.

Crochet Hello Spring

 

 

This is mostly a pattern called Hello Spring by Ana Morais Soares.

 I did substitute a row of lavender flowers from Carol A Scott for one of the geometric rows in the pattern.

Right now it measures 34 inches high by 39.5 inches wide.

Finish Wild West Afghan

 

 

  I have finished crocheting the Wild West afghan.  

  I put an envelope border all around - it covers up all the       loose ends that were on the left and right side.  I tied the loose ends in pairs before closing the envelope border all around.

  It ended up being 37"wide x 63.5"high.

 The yarn I used (Stylecraft Special DK) colors and number of skeins:

 

 

 

2  Black 

1  Candy Floss

1  Clemantis

1  Cloud Blue 

1  Copper

2  Dk Brown

1  Fiesta

1  Gold

1  Grass Green

1  Jaffa

1  Lemon

1  Parchment

1  Royal Blue

1  Sherbet

1  Spice

1   Wisteria

Now I must pick out some yarn for my next project.

Happy Stitching ♥

Wild West Afghan WIP

I have made a little more progress on my afghan.  

The top section is alternating boots and scorpions.  I am going to finish that strip and then add the same blue strip that is at the bottom.  Then the afghan will measure about 35" x 58".

I am going to study more envelope border tutorials so I can finish this one and pick another one to start.

Have a great weekend of stitching.

Wild West WIP

I have added a few more sections to the Wild West Afghan. 

It currently measures 35 x 47.5 so I am thinking I will add a bit more before I crochet the envelope border that will hide all of the ends on the sides.

Enjoy any stitching time you find this weekend.

Wild West WIP

I have not made much progress since my last post but I added a narrow strip of lizards and snakes. Now I am halfway through a section of alternating cowboy hats and stars.

 

Have a great weekend and enjoy the Super Bowl!

Crochet Wild West WIP

This is my current crochet project.  The last afghan I crocheted was called a tapestry crochet pattern.

This project is called mosaic crochet, which has several styles and I think this is called overlay mosaic.

It's very new to me so feel free to correct me if  I am confused about the terminology.  It amazes me that I have been crocheting for 50+ years and there are so many new to me things to learn.

I ordered a couple of patterns from Ravelry

Sos Wild West - Episode 2

Sos Wild West - Cacti  scroll down on this page and there is a link to order all of the Wild West - Episode 1 patterns together instead of purchasing each individual chart.

The top row that I just finished is a free Ravelry pattern 

Into the Woods

I started this afghan 12/30/22 and I am almost half way done.

Keep stitching ♥

Crochet Finish Jesus Loves Me

I finished this baby afghan by Jody Pyott called Jesus Song.

It's about 31" x 31".  I used Stylecraft Special DK yarn in white, Candy Floss, Fiesta and Parchment (100 gram skeins).

Merry Christmas to all ♥

Christmas Eve Wishes Finish

I finished the Christmas Eve Wishes afghan ♥ The border looks a little wonky but I am going to wash it and block it which will straighten it out just fine. I am so excited to be crocheting again and I cannot wait to start the next project. Happy stitching
