It's been a minute ..

Hi guys!

it's been a minute .. I've been doing sooooo much of the designing and writing and crocheting that somehow blog has fallen through the cracks and I am not here to tell that it will be different from now - most probably that will stay the same :) I might pop in to say something new .. and I might not ..

Also! 

I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing most of my venting and blogging about crochet related stuff on patreon now so please join me there :)

And I'm still loving instagram and sometimes I'm posting daily and sometimes just 2 times a month .. life happens - and as always - it's fun to see my people join in ;)

so .. hope to see you there and have fun crocheting up a storm!

P.S. my latest obsession - Daisy bloom! fun tiny triangles with daisy flower in the middle! just adorable :)

I shared this pattern with my besties on patreon last month (yes - they do recieve everything a bit earlier than anyone else) and today is the day I share it with everyone else so go to ravelry or etsy and get your copy of the pattern ;)

Stardust Blanket

Hi everybody!!!

Stardust Blanket is here! 

I am sooo happy how it turned out!!! :) and those colours! something completely different from my other projects but they are sooo good! 

Get your copy on ravelry or etsy ;)

The idea came to me at the end of 2021 when I was sick with flu and delirious from high temperature ... and as soon as I could sit I made the octagon.. then life got in the way of writing pattern and I truly hoped I would be able to share it on November of 2022 .. but as we all know I had barely started writing it up then >:) 

Pattern release: Wedding Ring Blanket

If you are a fan of quilts you surely know stunning wedding ring quilts & this is a crochet version for those of us who prefer hook instead of a needle :)

 

Pdf available on etsy and ravelry!

& make your own stylish throw!

Pattern pdf consists of 13 pages of written instructions (US crochet terms), pictures explaining harder parts and colour page for a bit of colour planning.

Blanket is made from motifs and joined as you go. Start with granny diamonds (you might be familiar with these) but for this pattern arrange them differently and then join these new blocks with ellipses and half ellipses.

I use 18 different shades of Scheepjes Color crafter. If you plan to make throw sized blanket you will probably need 2 skeins of shades you will use for last granny diamond round and for joining.

If you are already familiar with Granny Diamond pattern keep reading ;)

Mountain top

Here come videos for Mountain top blanket!

I've been thinking about this asymmetric chevron aka mountain top idea since last X-mas ... pandemic has shrunken down my crochet time to bare minimum so I have not actually made a blanket, just a test piece to find out if it works - and I am happy to tell you it does! :)

Now to pick colours and start the real deal ... but while I'm doing just that, you should go through videos and choose your own perfect colours ;)
