WIP Scandi Meadow


I have my little pieces put together and I am just starting on the border.

One of the small leaves on the bottom row was missing a leaf but rather than do it over, I decided that the wind blew it away so it is part of the blanket as is.

Happy stitching this weekend.

Scandi WIP


Here are the parts I have crocheted for the Scandi Blanket.  I purchased the pattern from Made by Anita https://madebyanita.co.uk/shop/p/scandi-meadow-blanket-pattern.

I have seen it with dark blue, green and pink backgrounds - I like them all but as you can see, I settled on the white background.

I am using Stylecraft Special DK yarn for this. 

There is a facebook group full of pictures by members who are much faster than me with their hooks.

I have already ordered yarn for my next project which is another mosaic crochet.

Enjoy your stitching ♥

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 ♥

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 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!
