Penguin throw blanket

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.ravelry.com  one of my favorite websites to get new patterns. heres a link to the pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/penguin-cuddle-quilt

what am i working on now? well i have 3 projects going at the moment, i'm working on a knitted rug, a baby blanket and a crochet blanket. this  is the rug, i've been asked to make this for a friend, they wanted it to be grey, and yellow, with a few hints of brown. when finished it will be approximately 3 feet around. i've been enjoying knitting this. the grey part i'm using the circular ten stitch pattern, and for the yellow, it's just a simple I-cord, so the grey is being attached as i go, and the I-cord is being attached with the brown color. this seems to work up super fast. heres the link to the ten stitch circular, http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ten-stitch-twist it looks complicated, but it's actually really simple, the hardest part is the wrap and turns, which is pretty simple once you get the hang of it, i totally recommend this pattern, and i will be making myslef a ten stitch blanket, when i finish these few projects.  but if you get conf

You know those plastic grocery bags we all have laying around?  ya well i got tired of them cluttering up the cabinet under my sink, so i went online to find a pattern to make something i could put them all in, i found a few patterns but they weren't big enough, the one that i found that i really liked they person wanted $10.00 for the pattern, i'm cheap so i wasn't going to pay for a pattern. So i finally decided to try and make my own. here's what i came up with.      While it's not perfect, it does the job. it's pretty plain, but i'm quit proud of myself for making it without a pattern.  I worked this flat on straight needles and then sewed the edges together to make it round. i might make another one in the future and add a design or possibly some cables just to give it some character. here's my pattern for those that would like to make one... or three :D haha. Cast on 40 stitches.  (I used an U.S. size 9 needles) worked about 35
