WIP: Lily Pond Blanket update #2

Finally I can get back to this project. I love seeing everyone's blocks as they are made and I was sad not to be sharing my progress as well. I ran out of Paddy Green in June and I haven't been able to get to the store to buy more. So I looked for a skein on etsy. And I found a seller selling it. I was able to finish block 1 this past weekend.

blocks 1 and 4. both needing another green row.

Finished block 1.

Now the color in need is Peacock. I was able to finish one panel of block 4. Until I receive more from another etsy seller I have moved on to block 7 .. Medium Flower.

I don't need any peacock for this block.I am trying out a few color combinations.

The left flower is Orchid, Dark Orchid , and Boysenberry.

The right flower is Dark Orchid, Boysenberry and Orchid.

Looking at them in natural light , I like them both. I want to make 8 of these so maybe I will bake 4 each.

Here is the link to the other update .

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
