Pinks and Orange Granny Square Blanket

Happy Friday!

I am so excited I am finally finished sewing in all the ends on this granny square blanket! Woohoo!

This is for my son in California girlfriend..She chose the colors and I love the way it turned out!Isn't it just so pretty!

There are 13 granny squares across and 15 rows down.. Look at all those ends.. and a sleepy pup!

Flower Granny Square Pattern

To make the granny squares .. chain 3 with size H hook. join to first chain to form a ring..
chain 2 ( counts as first DC) then do 7 double crochets in ring ..slip stitch to top of the first chain 2.

there will be 8 spaces in the circle.

Join new color..
Chain 2( counts as first DC) 2 double crochets in the first space.. then 3 double crochets in the remaining 7 spaces..Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 2
It should look like a flower at this point.

Join next color.
you will do this next round in between each flower petal.
chain 2 do 2 double crochet..chain 1 ,3 more double crochet all in the first space which makes a corner.. next space 3 double crochet.. next space 3 double crochet, chain 1 ,3 double crochet which makes another corner ..continue alternating until you have 4 corners.. join to the top of the first double crochet..

I use a join as you go method to connect the squares ( all the white on the blanket) and you can click HERE to get those instructions..

The border is a row of single crochet ..2 rows of half double crochet and another single crochet row.. to make the little ruffles I slip stitch around the post ,chain 3 ,skip a stitch then repeat .I did that in the last single crochet row and the first half double crochet row.. I used a size H hook and the yarn is from Hobby Lobby I love this yarn except for the orange which was a different brand .

There are 3 colors of pink , the orange and lots of white..

The Giant Granny Finish

Happy Sunday !
Yesterday I finished the giant granny square blanket I was working on .. I started it last Friday ..so it took 9 days.. There are 52 rows of grannies and 6 rows of border and 2 rows of the little tailored ruffles..

It looks kind of gingham check in this photo ..

This blanket will be in the mail to California this week to a family that helped our son who was out in California last semester at a junior college.. They fed him home cooked meals, took him places , put pictures from the football games on facebook for me to see and texted me with game details at the games we didn't go to..We truly appreciate all they did for him..and us :)

The border is 6 rows of single crochet .. Then I did the little ruffles by chain 3 single crochet around every other post of the last row of crochet .. Then chain 3 and crochet in every other stitch at the top. It gives a little texture and I love the little tiny ruffleyness ..

We had a play in the snow day with one of the Grandsons this week.. My daughters little dog loves the snow ..She hops like a bunny and doesn't want to go inside !

I started and finished this one yesterday .. A year in chalk .. how perfect for me.. chalkboard and stitching.. Its from Hands on Design .. I tried to stitch It on the 30ct WDW gunmetal that the pattern suggests , but I had to get black 28 count Monaco. I need the stiffness of the Monaco vs. the linen. I will be off to find a way to display these today. Hoping to get February's pattern soon so I can get to work on it.

It's October In February !

Good Morning ! Of course it is snowing here again ! We got about 5 inches last night and its still snowing !
I finished this With My Needle and Thread October wordplay on Friday ( #fallfridaystitching on Instagram)..I had started it last year and then didn't have time to finish it ..I am stitching all the months , I have July and August finished also, and a good part of September stitched .. I wanted a way to display them all the same way. I used this silver tray , Good will ,$1.99.. chalkboard paint and magnets ..First I mounted the stitching on needlework sticky board, then cut a piece of chipboard a little larger and mounted some Halloween colored homespun ..I hot glued some magnets to the tray and also the back of the chipboard. I added a bow of the same Halloween Homespun fabric .. I can't wait to finish all the months !

I am getting close to being finished with the granny squares for this granny square blanket.. I am thinking one more row.

I finished Lizzie Kates Dog Lessons .. Thank you again to Catherine for sending it to me !

I am working on February's wordplay from With Thy Needle and Thread .. Hope I get it finished to put on my silver tray before the month is over !

I couldn't resist the last time I was at Walmart .. zinnia seeds ! I am going to buy a few packages everytime I go so I am ready ! ( if the snow ever melts )

I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest ..all the links are in the sidebar !

Grannying ,Stitching and Thrifting !

Good Sunday morning ! I have been making a lot of granny squares ! They are so simple and fast to make .. The colors in this blanket seem so spring -summery !

I have 4 rows completed and lots more to join with the white ..

Hopefully I will have enough yarn to finish it :)

I have also been stitching ( and ripping out some stitching) Love this Lizzie Kate Dog lessons ! It is very quick to stitch if you don't make mistakes !

For the Santa Sundays On Instagram ( #santasundayxs) I am working on this Country Cottage Needleworks , Silent Night .. I started it before Christmas but just didn't have any stitching time to finish it!

Yesterday we went to an Estate sale , It was 75% off , so I got the pedestal, small corning ware dish , and platter all for $4.50 !

The platter still has a $28.00 price tag on it like its never been used.

I stuck the pedestal under these plates on the dining room buffet,

and for now the platter is under the snowman in the cloche.. love great bargains !

Then... I have been wanting an armoire for my youngest sons room , for more storage for his clothes ..They had $150.00 price tag on this so we got it for $37.50 !Its a Bernhart piece... I haven't decided whether we will paint it or leave it , it does need new knobs ..but where are you going to get a piece of furniture for $37.50 !

Don't forget to stop by and enter to win the Dollar Tree $100.00 gift card !

Giant Granny Square blanket Finish

It's finished ! My summery giant granny square blanket is finished :)

For the edging :I did a row of single crochet in each of the colors I used for the blanket , then for the white row.. I did sc,ch 3 sc in same stitch twice ..skip 2 stitches and repeat all the way around . For the corners I did sc chain3, sc chain5 , sc chain3

All the yarn is Red Heart , except the watermelon color which I got at Michaels.

In these 2 big pots we have planted potatoes .. They are growing so big ! Can't wait to see if we get alot of potatoes out of each pot. I saw online that they sell bags to grow potatoes in , so I figured why not plant them in pots !

Another Giant Granny Square Blanket

Good morning :) Last week I couldn't help myself .. I started a new blanket. I am making another giant granny square blanket. The yarn is all red heart except the watermelon color. That color is from Michaels.

I wanted to go with a summery color scheme .. and I wanted something I didn't have to think while making it :)

Its getting bigger !

I got this pillow cover at Hobby LObby with my 40% off coupon , It was $4.00 and change after the coupon. I got this broach in the wedding department and cut the button off the pillow cover and pinned the broach on. The pin was $2.50 ( 50% 0ff) so for under $7.00 I got a new pillow .. I have to go back and get another set for the other chair. I don 't think I could have made one for that much money !
