A New Blanket WIP

Work In Progress

One day I was enjoying the Pinterest crochet colourful world and my oldest daughter saw one so pretty blanket and asked me to crochet the same for her. I always happy to work with bright and yummy colours, so I picked the colours at the same second and started to crochet. So... I stole the colour palette... again... 

 

I started with two granny squares(6 rounds each) joined together in a rectangle, then I was working with simple granny stitch and after 9 rounds made I decided to add one strip of small squares. A little note: I'm turning my work after each round made while crocheting granny stitch rounds.

Crochet Heart Buntings

 Valentine's Day is coming soon and searching the web there is a lot of beautiful heart projects. 

Of course I couldn't resist against the hearts and made a few heart buntings.

I found the Itty Bitty Crochet Heart Tutorial for the first bunting. 

For the original pattern I've added two sc(US terms) rounds: 

first is in the same color and the next is in white color. 

I made these two rounds on back loops only.

For the thread I made ch 35, then sc in the top of right half of the heart, then ch 5, 

then sc in the top of left half of the same heart. 

Between the hearts I'm working ch 10, then again as above: 

sc in the right top, ch 5, sc in the left top, etc. 

My(actually not mine, it was presented to one nice lady) bunting contains 9 hearts in different colors of acrylic chunky yarn. I've used a 5,5 mm hook. The similar heart garland I made last year and I really really like it and therefore it adorns our fireplace almost all year with short breaks for Christmas and other holidays. But now our fireplace is empty because it waiting for a new triangle bunting which is finished and (in its turn) is waiting for the photoshoot. I  hope I can handle with all that very very soon.  :)

 And now about another heart bunting. 

It was my first time making Granny Hearts. 

And now I love them much more then previous hearts! 

The basic pattern is here. But I changed it a bit: in the 2nd round instead of each ch 1 which is between the 3-dc-clusters, I made dc(US terms) in the second dc of 3-dc-clusters of previous round. 

Accordingly in the 3rd round the 12-treble-shells goes in these dc.

 For the thread I used the same method, ch 20, sc in the right top, ch 9, sc in the left top, 

ch 10 to the next heart, etc. 

The same chunky acrylic yarn and a 5,5 mm hook and a lot of enjoyment! 

These hearts are more bigger then previous and I love them so much! 

On the photo above shown the process of making photos. Yes... yes... 

I am standing on the table. :)

So enjoy the making hearts! It is easy! It is pleasure! And it is a lovely result for your home 

or for a gift...

About my big big blanket... hurray! it is finished! It is so huge! The biggest one I've made so far! So colorful and so warm! And waiting for a sunny day to be photographed... 

Take care

Triangle Garland!

   I've finished my triangle garland! First I attached it to window blinds at my playroom and then I realized I didn't took any pictures of the finished garland. So I had to do it by jumping around the window :)
A bunch of pictures for you...

   The triangle above was decorated on the reverse side of it.  You can see the green DC border's wrong side. haha...
Are you enjoyed the pictures? Now a few statistic. The yarn I used is Stylecraft Special  DK acrylic yarn, I usually buy at Deramores online yarn shop. The 4 mm/G hook. My favorite. The total amount of needed yarn is 115 g.
   As I already wrote I made 12 triangles, but I needed only 9. So three of them were chosen as usual with my eyes closed. :)
Here they are, unnecessary:

   The marvelous wooden beads I got from eBay as well as 23mm resin buttons.

   A few weeks ago I bought round handles for a bag and yesterday I started crochet the striped bag. The  pattern I found on Ravelry.

Have a sunny day!
Your Olga
With Love to all my readers!

Garland WIP

 Last week I'm crocheting several projects at the same time. One of them is here.
A lot of bright colors I like!

What a fun to crochet with these colors!

My flower-wheel!

The bunting should have only 9 triangles. I made 12. So I must make a choice. It is not easy for me because I love all of triangles with all of colors combination! Therefore I'll use my favorite method - choose with my eyes closed.  :))  It works!

The triangle bunting is almost done. I need to hide the ends and add a little decoration and attach the bunting somewhere at my kids' playroom.
At the right side of the picture above you could seee another WIP - the flowers in the plastic bag will be squares for... I no idea for what!  haha
Have a sunny day all of you as well as we have already 5th sunny day running!
Your Olga!
Hug you!
