Get Hooked ~ Crochet by Erin

Its been awhile since I have worked on my lily pond blanket. With the new Crochet along by Jane Crawford posted yesterday ( and I so want to make it!!) I thought I should finish last years blanket before I start a new one. If I put my mind to it, I can finish the lily pond this month! I have 3 blocks to make and then I have to crochet every piece together. This wonderful mess above is what I accomplished last night. I crocheted blocks 3 and 4  and 6 and 3. which are the side panels.   More later. 

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  ....

This Corner 2 Corner blanket is coming out well. I will need more skeins to make it a decent size blanket of course. This is almost 1 skein of yarn. I plan to continue to increase until all of the yarn is used. I will need one for the decrease and maybe one to make it a rectangle from a square, if I decide to go that route. This has been a great stash buster. I've had this skein ( Red Heart : Bikini ) for over a year. I am not a fan of the color ( Christmas present ) so I haven't had the desire to make anything with it. I have a few ideas for other C2C blankets so stay tuned :)

I'm back with more WIPs. ( works in progress if you don't know the lingo..lol )  This will be a flower with leaves. And I will be making alot of them. I have 7 windows on my screened in porch and they need some decorating :)  My favorite pattern designer is at it again. Making me spend money..lol This is my second attempt .I didn't add enough rows for each color so my count was off.  Oh and I am still working on the Pleated Mini skirt .... I got a bit further :) half way done. YAY. 

Here are a few more items I am working on..... Owl basket gnome Lego scarf... maybe a Lego blanket

I found the pattern on Ravelry. its by My Hobby is Crochet . Her patterns are so cute . I am sure this wont be my last project from her wonderful patterns.
