Crocheting in the Wake of the World Cup

Veröffentlicht am von Carina1 Kommentar

Just like every other kid, J wanted to watch ALL the games and of course I would not let him (too many, too late). However, he got to watch quite a few and soccer would resume power in our house …

Even J’s birthday cake (he is TEN now!) was a soccer field

Well, here’s my son’s artwork: something between the presentation of a soccer player and crochet (I filmed him, turning and crossing his arms, but somehow I can’t get the video on here. Too bad).

A Blanket for Peter

Veröffentlicht am von Carina6 Kommentare

Three weeks ago, my cousin had another baby: „boy N°3.“ His name is Peter and the cousin asked for a blanket for her little son. (Isn’t it always nice to be asked?!)

Of course, I started crocheting at once 🙂

Last night the blanket was done: blue circles on white, 25 squares, joined as I went. Classic granny style, an easy task, lightweight and airy. I just need to block it (blocking is magic!) but couldn’t wait to take (and share) a picture.

This is the baby blanket I made for „boy N°1“ – Peter’s eldest brother. Supposedly, he still uses it when napping.

Postscript: The blanked is blocked and ready to travel.

I am doing another bobbly blanket. Colorful bobbles this time, using yarn from stash. It will be for a little boy. He was born in early January and I can’t wait to meet him.

Babyblanket — CrochetAlong

Veröffentlicht am von Carina13 Kommentare

The babyblanket is coming along nicely. Another 10 rows, finally the edging and we’ll be done.

Crazy to think about it.

Even though we only started in mid October it feels like I have been in this forever. We had tulips, and granny stripes, and bobbles (single- and two colored); we had the spike stitch as well as the star stitch. All in all, 110 rows in the colors of the rainbow. To make up the pattern, to write the instructions was a lot of fun (even though more sophisticated, more complex than I thought it would be).

This is where we got last Friday:

Last night, I finished the „prototype,“ the archetypal blanket. Like I said: Crazy to think about it …
