Lily Pond Update #1

I am so glad I found this CAL. I like piecing things together, ie blankets. I enjoy sewing and watching the blanket come together. When I made the Mario blanket last year I was so excited when I sewed the the top half of Mario because I could see his face ! It was the first time I put something that big together.

I liked it so much I started a Boston Bruins blanket in March. I am all done with the squares I just need to sew them. I am in no rush though.

Now on to the Lily Pond Afghan. I started with blocks 2 and 3. I needed to buy more yarn to make block 1. And now block 4.


Block 2


Flowers for block 3


Block 3 all done.

I'm not using StyleCraft yarn. I wanted to use my stash. And my stash is mostly Red Heart. 

Colors I am using are, 

Peacock in place of Teal
Paddy Green in place of Olive
Spring green in place of Fern
Aruba Sea in place of Mint
Turquoise in place of Aqua
White in place of Cream
Lemon on place of Daffodil
Dark Orchid in place of Fuchsia 
Orchid in place of Rose 
Lavender in place of Lily
( or I might use Orchid ) 


** One more thing... I would love to see your Lily Pond so far... place post a link to yours in the comments. Thanks.

YOP5 week 34

Motivation to finish my list is highly needed!! My hook challenge isn't doing too well. All those projects are holiday related and I've missed a few. Its silly to make Christmas items a few weeks before St, Patrick's day . But I did FINISH something thing week!! Guess how many skeins it took to finish this blanket? 

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
