YOP 4 week 44


I worked on a few things this week.... were they all part of my YOP list? Sorta :)

Mostly stash busting a few projects and and 15 in 2015 project. ( paid patterns )



I am inlove with the African flower hex pattern by Heidi Bears 




With these ( and many more ) I may make a bag. 
( I used my Hermione Granger  wand G crochet hook by Puka Pey ) 



Soon this will be a lady bug garden flag ( Pattern by Snappy Tots ) 


This rug is actually on my YOP list! 
I needed a rug for my porch for my feet. Concrete sucks. This is also a stash bust. I had a really big skein of this orange and pink bulky yarn that I had no idea what to make with. This took me about an hour to make with my N hook. Its not the best looking thing but it works :)

    The African Flower Hex pattern is great - have you seen her stuffed toy patterns? If I had a kid to knit for....

    In your photo the pink and orange look pretty good together :)

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 .

YOP week 36: More Squares

First I want to apologize for my yucky out side table. My porch has the best light. A few weeks ago I started my Boston Bruin Blanket. I had trouble deciding on either to make traditional granny squares or solid.   With help of a facebook group I love , I will be making the blanket with solid squares. They will use up a but more yarn but the blanket will be warmer. Here is my progress so far.... These are squares for the top of the blanket. I ran out of yellow so I started making black squares. This is the  chart  I am using .. I am using smaller squares because I don't need a big blanket. I plan to make numbers ( by  Moogly ) for my favorite team members. I think I can fill up all the big squares around the B. Yellow 2 rnd sq- ___of 38 made 4 rnd sq- ___of 1 made 6 rnd sq- 4 of 8 made 8 rnd sq- 2 of 14 made Black 2 rnd sq- 5 of 14 made 4 rnd sq- ___of 5 made 6 rnd sq- 4 of 12 made 8 rnd sq not needed
