Monster Scrappy

I have been working on this one again. :) It is almost done. I am working on the edging now.

I did 2 rounds of sc. And the final round, I am sl st in st, ch 1 sl st in next st ch 1.

I am using black for the edging.

This afghan has a nice overhang on both sides. :) Which is exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to have it done so we can use it. :)

Have a great day Everyone!!

WIP Wednesday

Look at what I found.. I was organizing some of my stash recently and ran across this in the box. So.... Here we go with another WIP.  There are a ton of different colors in this one. The weather is not cooperating with me right now so this picture looks a little dull. But in real life this afghan is more vibrant. It will probably be a few days before the weather is nice and I can get a better picture. We have been having some stormy weather since last evening.  With this afghan I have been using up all of my super small balls of scrap yarn . So there are a ton of color changes in this one.

Here is another project I am working on. I promised my Aunt that I would make her some gloves in excahnge for the antique patterns she sent me. Originally she wanted some gloves from one of the patterns she sent. They were beautiful gloves, but done in thread. And I have such a hard time working with thread. I did try to make them, but just couldn't get them right. Then I found these gloves at Red Heart Yarns.

They are called texting gloves. I am using baby yarn to make them with. It is a really pretty pale blue color with soft stripes of white in it. Although you can't tell that in the picture. They are super cute gloves. There is a flip top on the thumb and index finger of both gloves. So if you want to use your fingers you flip the tops off. :) Really cool. :)

Have a wonderful day Everyone!!!

WIP Wednesday

Its Back!! LOL! I picked up the monster scrappy again. :) The latest addition is a grey color. I am finally in the home stretch now with this one. YAY!!!!

This picture is my attempt at trying to show you how close I am getting to the pillowcases at the head of the bed. :)

I am also sharing a picture of the Round Ripple. It is now finally finished. YAY!!!

 Its raining outside today. So a good day to continue working on the Monster Scrappy afghan.

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

WIP Wednesday

I finished off another hat. This hat is an original design by Kristine Mullen. You can find the pattern in her Etsy shop.  I used Loops and Threads yarn in Fern Green. I found this yarn at Micheals.

The latest on the Round Ripple. This one is almost done now. I am going to finish this burgandy and then add another dark green. I think that will make it big enough. Right now it is 55 inches from point to point.

WIP Wednesday

Remember this?  I hadn't worked on it for awhile, so I wasn't showing any pictures.

I finally added several more rounds too it. Once I finish with this green I am going to add

a soft white, and then some of the darker colrs again. I have plans to give this one as a Christmas gift to someone in my family.

Here is the Monster Scrappy..... I didn't get too much done on it. But I still wanted to show a picture of the progress. I have been working on pumpkins and fall colored items the last week. :)  Looking at this picture  with the ends hanging out reminds me..... I still have to weave those things in. Yuck!!!

And one last photo... Kyra all dressed up for Nerd day. :)

She had a great time at school except for the kids snapping her suspenders. LOL!

Have a great day everyone

                      A finished project!!!!                                         

                                    Another Lyn hat. See previous post to get a link to the pattern for purchase.

                                   My not so little girl modeled this one for me. :)     I made this one in two shades of purple

                                          Ms Kyra has decided she makes a pretty good model. :)

Here it is!!!! The monster Scrappy. 

No, not finished yet. But I have made some good progress on it.

And I have added to it since this picture. The color I added after the purple is Aran.

I really love this blanket. And now that I am just a bit beyond the half way point, it looks like I will finish it someday. LOL!

I have put both of my other afghan projects away for now. I am really wanting to get this one done.

The weather is getting cooler finally; so it would be nice to have this on the bed. :)

 

Yesterday was a beautiful day! So glad to be able to finally have the house open and letting in the fresh air. :)

Today, we are getting some more rain. The rain is much needed, so this is a good thing.

And here are a couple of photos from Kyra's softball game last night. She hit a double on this one. Yay!

They didn't win the game, but the girls played well.

WIP Wednesday

Here we go with the Monster Scrappy. Since I have been working on dishcloths, there isn't much progress on this one. I am adding a rose color next. I think I need to add some more aran or off white to it soon. This thing is huge and akward to work on. LOL!

Remember this one? I hadn't worked on it in awhile. So I havn't posted anything about it. But I did finally add another color to it. :) And I have 2 more colors ready to add soon. :)

WIP Wednesday

Here is an updated photo of the shawl for Kyra. I ripped out what I had originally done. It just wasn't quite right and it wasn't big enough. So hopfully this time around it will work out better. Kyra is very anxious for me to get this one done.

The Monster Scrappy is growing. I have added some yellow and another shade of blue. :) It is getting closer to the halfway point. Yay :)

The weather is finally starting to cool down at night. So I really need to kick it into high gear on this project.

 Ahh! Yes, the ripples..... I have put those two projects aside as I really want to get this Granny Stripe finished for my bed. And I also want to get this shawl finished for Kyra. I will pick up working on them again soon. :)

WIP Wednesday

Summers Dream Round Ripple

I have done a little bit of work on the round ripple. It still has a ways to go before it will be finished. It has been interesting working on it. I start the new color wherever the old color ends off. So in some places the colors look choppy. It will be a unique afghan when it is finally done. :)

The big one! Here is the Monster Scrappy... This thing is getting huge. And this picture is allready outdated. LOL! I added yellow after the blue that you see here. IT is a pale yellow. I am thinking about a burnt orange color for it soon.

Kyra has made a special request. We have been watching Dr Quinn together all summer. Dorothy, one of the characters in the show always wears these neat crocheted shawls. In the 6th season she wears this nice looking black one with a big hood on it. Kyra, would like me to make one for her. So now I am in the process of trying to figure out a pattern for it. Hopefully I can figure out something soon so she can wear it when the weather actully cools down some. Its still in the 90's here.

 And for Sean, he would like a new hat. So I think I
will make him a sk8ter hat. :)
  So far school has been going well for both of them. Sean normally comes home with a pile of homework. Keeping him busy.........

WIP Wednesday

 I have picked up my darker ripple again. I needed a break from the lighter one. So here we are with a new progress photo. It is almost halfway done. This one is actully smaller than the lighter one. Although looking at his picture I am not sure if you can tell. I can tell because it dosn't take me as long to crochet a row. LOL!!

One more view of it. :)  I really like these colors. Bold and bright.

 Ahh Yes! Here is the Monster Scrappy. No real progress to report here. I just started the newest color which is a Hunter green.And laying it across my bed, you can see it has a long way to go before it will fit nicly. But once finished, it will keep me warm this winter. :)  (Well, if I get it finished this winter, that is. )

I found a pale yellow color to add after the green. Then who knows what will be next......








                   Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
