all things knit and crochet

here's a baby blanket that I knitted for a dear friend of mine, she had a beautiful baby boy!                                                                                       I started off by making all the center squares. ( the whole blanket is done in garter stitch) Grabbing second color, picked up stitches evenly on one side. knitted in garter stitch for about 10 rows  and continued to pick up along each side all the way around Adding the third color and continuing the same process    Adding the fourth color. First square completed with all the colors. was having a hard time trying to get the bright green to show up in the pictures, this one show it pretty well.   Sorry Dog kinda photo bombed these (he was sleeping and rolled over. lol :) )     And the almost finished project. I did put a boarder on, i just forgot to take pictures of it all completed, for the border i just too the color of the middle square and went

For Christmas (2012) i made my brother-in-law a throw blanket. theres about 252 granny Squares in these three containers. i organized them by rows                                                these are all the different colors i used Lining up the Rows and sewing them together.                                     Trying to figure out how to do an invisible seem. this is actually a bright red, dunno why it came out orange in the pic. About half way done   And Finally the Finished Product.   And Finally The Boarder. which is just a Granny Square around the blanket. I found this pattern pretty easy, since it is just a lot of small granny squares, however after about the 30th square i did get tired of making them! but i love the end result, and my brother-in-law loves his blanket, which is what matters the most! this is a very simple easy beginner blanket. i found this pattern on www

it's been a long while (over a year) since i last posted anything, a lot of it had to do with schooling at the time, i just didn't have time to focus on trying to graduate and a blog, also i just really haven't been motivated to blog, don't get me wrong i love being able to share my crafts, and it's not because i haven't been knitting or crocheting, i just haven't been in the mood to blog. i keep thinking i need to blog, i need to post all the things I've been working on.  so i'm going to try and be better at this blogging thing. now that i don't have to focus on school, although i am studying to take my state test this month, on the 22nd, which i am now starting to freak out a bit. i am currently working on 2 blankets, i will do my best to keep you all updated. i will also try to post more often.
