Priscillas: Two Blankets.. A Blizzard.. and Thrifting

Happy Superbowl Sunday !

I have two new crochet blankets I am working on ..I am using I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby for both.. The first one is a giant granny square ..done in blue/green, peach,pale yellow and white. This one is a gift and the colors are to match their bedding ..

I have made 3 other giant grannies you can see them here here and here.. This is super easy to make just make a regular granny square increasing with every round. Also a secret is to turn the blanket every round so it stays in a square shape. Sometimes you see peoples blankets and they aren't square ..its because they don't turn them every round :)

The second one is a join as you go granny square blanket for my daughter's living room in aqua, red and white.. This is also super easy and pretty fast to make ! Here is a link to the join as you go instructions I use..

I started this granny square blanket off without the white , and I wasn't loving it ..I took it all apart and added the white and I love it now ..Last year I made this join as you go granny square blanket..

I found this table at the Goodwill before Christmas.. It was $8.50 I haven't decided whether I am going to paint the legs or not ( and leave the top wood) What do you all think ? I also got that amazingly huge soup tureen on the bottom shelf last week for $4.99..Isn't it amazing ??

We here in Illinois are under a blizzard warning today ! 7 inches so far and its not supposed to stop snowing until tomorrow..

I finished stitching this Little House Needleworks ornament last night .. Trying to stitch one LHN or CCN ornament a month for the Little House and Country Cottage group on facebook..I just realized I forgot to stitch the reins for the horse :)

I also am stitching this cute chicken design for Prairie Schooler..

Thanks so much for your visit ! I Hope you have a wonderful day !

If you would like to see what I am up to everyday join me on Instagram and my Facebook page ! I do post on both almost everyday ..Links to my Facebook page , Instagram and Pinterest are in the sidebar .. Hope to see you there ! :)

Linking to these fabulous parties !

I love your blankets! They look like so much fun to make...I think I'm going to have to try to make one. Great Goodwill find!
Snowing like crazy here in WI too.
Stay warm and safe,
Leanne

Hi Priscilla! Oh, your dainty little fingers have been going to town. Love seeing all of your pretty crochet work. Your needlework is beautiful too. Now if I could go thrifting with you! What a beautiful table you found and the tureen too!
Have a great week and stay warm and safe.

I heard from my dear friend in Chicago this morning! Your weather sounds just horrid!! Blankets are beautiful. What a deal on the soup tureen! I do love the stitching you are working on and the finish is great!

Stay in, stay warm,stay safe, and try and stay busy. Here in Utah we have not had a bad storm this winter but I'm sure that we will. All of you in the mid west are in my prayers.XX Jo

What great blankets! Someday I will start learning to crochet... but for now, it is cross stitching for me! Hugs!

Priscilla, you amaze me at all you get done! Can't wait to see the granny squares that are red, white, and aqua finished. Love it! Stay warm my friend! Here we are having record warm temps. Feels like Spring. We really do need more snow! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,

All your crocheting is gorgeous! I would love to learn to make a granny square blanket! I am new to crocheting so maybe someday!

When you say after finishing a round on the large granny square you simply turn your work around instead of starting a new round? Is that you mean?

Thank you for your comments !!
