My Scraps Ripple...

It fits a Queen-size bed and is super-heavy. I made it with mostly Red Heart SS yarn. I was trying to get rid of it all because it makes my nose itch like crazy when I crochet with it.

A close-up of the edging which is five rounds of sc with 3sc in each corner, then the last round is *3dc in same stitch, skip a stitch, slip stitch in next stitch, skip a stitch*, repeat between * and * all the way around.

Soft Baby Granny Blanket

Once upon a time, I ordered some yarn ...


Some Rowan Cashcotton. I started granny-ing!


And as I did, the softness of the yarn and the combination of soft blue and aqua with vibrant geranium screamed out to me: "BABY"! Yes! This project must be something for a baby. A soft, cozy blanket.


As the blanket grew, I realised that it wouldn't grow too much as I just didn't have enough yarn. I could order some more and sit tight and wait. Who wants to do that though? So I decided to incorporate some white yarn in to it. It just didn't look right. After frogging and trying again, I decided that I would just finish it off and hope for the best.


I do believe that the new-born recipient I have in mind for this blanket will be on the small side like his/her siblings!


So I'm hoping the blanket will be just right for the early days.


After a light block and a spritz of lovely linen spray (Egyptian Cotton!) I'm putting this one away for the little one to arrive and be snuggled up in it.

Hexagon Afghan

I finally got started on the Hexagon afghan from Lucy's pattern. It is very easy to follow and once you make one you can go really fast on the others. I'm anxious to give this a try in thread just to see how it will turn out. I think these would make a great Christmas stocking, I may have to give that a try. Thanks Lucy for figuring this out for all of us.
