Sneak Peak - Flower Blanket

 

I'm halfway done!

Pretty Flowers

Last night, my family and I went to Hobby Lobby and I found the coolest thing ever! A crochet hook that Lights Up, so you can crochet in the dark!

 {sorry, the picture isn't the greatest quality}

Well, it was dark coming home, and I had a bit of yarn in my purse, so, of course, I had to try it out. I made up this flower pattern to share with you :-)
I thought I would share it now, so you can make them when it's snowy and dreary out to chase away the Winter Blues.

Small Flower Pattern 

You will need:
Some pretty yarn {One or two colours}
I/9 hook {or your favourite!}

Begin with a magic circle
Rnd 1 ~ sc 12 in circle. Close circle, sl st to first st. Ch 1, turn your work
Rnd 2 ~ in back loops only, *sl st in next st, {hdc, dc, hdc} in next st* Rep between * around. Sl st in first st.
Fasten off, weave in ends.

Have fun!

P.S. Sneak peek pictures of my blanket will come after Christmas. I'm almost half-way done joining it together!

Of Blankets and Head-bands

At the Young Ladies Meeting (YLM), the crochet lesson was a pillow. We were going to make eight of the squares with flowers on them, so that's four on each side of the pillow. Well, I decided to turn mine into a blanket, making 56 flowered squares, and 56 granny squares, so, that's 112 in all. For one blanket. I'm making two. These blankets will be twin sized. I have a bunk-bed, so I have two twin beds. That's why I'm making two blankets. I have around 15 flowered squares done, and 3 granny squares done. I've a long way to go!






























Of course, I can't just work on the blanket non-stop, so I do a couple other projects in between.
The picture on the left is a white head-band. The picture on the right is some flowers I made to pin on the head-band. This way, it matches pretty much everything.

That's it for now! Tomorrow I'll post about the little purses I made for my 3-year-old twin cousins, the cutest kids on the planet.

Edit: When I said "Tomorrow" in the last sentence, I wasn't thinking it was Sunday, and that it was the first day of Tent Meetings at our church, so we were gone all afternoon. Anyway, I didn't post. So I am posting today (Monday) instead. Sorry 'bout that!
