Crochet Geek Chic

very crochet geek chic!

Yay! All done!

I've finished my granny square scarf and I love it! Which is fortunate really, don't you think?

And don't you love the pom-poms? I do. Think I may have developed a bit of a pom-pom fetish.

Granny Squares laid out to block over night

Yesterday afternoon I finished the border, a simple 2 rounds of double crochet to edge it neatly and so I laid it out on the floor in my daughters bedroom to block it (she was at a sleep-over so is none-the-wiser)

I like this picture, it looks like a runner for a hall-way. Hey, what about granny-square carpet? That would be brilliant, must get on to Carpets'r'us with my idea. Could do carpet tiles so you could design your own pattern, yesss!

I love the crochet geekness of my scarf, and the colours too and that it's made of yarn left over from another project (ok, yes and a bit more)

It's been raining non-stop all day today so we haven't ventured far but I did pop to Tescos and wore my scarf then. Such fun!



Baby Ripple Blanket

Baby Ripple Blanket with Pom-Poms

 

Oh how I enjoyed making this little crochet ripple pattern blanket.  I loved the waviness of the pattern and the autumnal colours too.


The exciting start of the project!

 The pattern is from the wonderful book of mine: Cute & Easy Crocheted Baby Clothes by Nicki Trench (The picture of the blanket on the front of the book was what made me buy it in the first place) and the wool is King Cole Merino Blend DK from Deramores.

The ripple pattern is so easy once you get going and really enjoyable to do. It's perfect for sitting on the sofa of an evening gently treble-crocheting your way along, pondering all of the worlds wonders.

With all the main blanket finished it was just a case of making the border to frame the little delight and then adding the cute pom-poms for a bit of fun.

 
It's just the right size to use in the pushchair or in the car and in this weather it's nice and snuggly and warm.

Now time for a big version for moi!
