the boys rebel
my garden is done
all the squares finished and crocheted together. i was debating adding a border, but didn’t like how it looked when i started so ripped it out. i may change my mind and add one later, but for now i’m calling it done
july 17
one more row on my temperature tracker…
my garden grows in sunshine and shadows
i’m re-reading the benni harper mystery series (by earlene fowler) and was inspired to crochet a quilt, this is the complete color repeat, but i need to add a couple more rows before it is big enough to start squaring of the corners
meet pinkie
i love being on the knitmunks team, but there were some adorable elephants done by the elefelts, and i just had to do one of these for my girls. of course it had to be pink, because who doesn’t need a little pink elephant in their life? 😉
i tried to get one of the girls to pose with pinkie, but they were all of busy do other things, maybe later?
he’s a modified version of gustav the balancing elephant
poppies for remembrance
we are attempting to make 1-200 poppies to sell the end of october, to raise money for the local veterans fund.
i have a large ball of white crochet cotton to work with, when done i will dye them all red, add black button centers and pin backs
here is the first batch (43) crocheted and dyed
all done and blocking
got the border finished. now time to soak it and block it flat. i tried out my new blocking wires. once i threaded it through the edges and figured out how to pin it, i was impressed with how easy it is to block straight and square.
went to publish this post and found out someone had hacked my blog and replaced my posts with a bunch of yucky pictures. i almost cried. luckily my husband was able to delete it all and use the backup to get my posts back. if you happened to come here while the x-rated stuff was up, you have my sincerest apologies and hopefully we have got it fixed so they can’t come back!
nearing completion
working on the borders now. a good border ties all the colors together and is like a frame for the main picture. this afghan seemed to require a more elaborate “frame” than just a simple sc border. i’m liking it so far, though my need for a good blocking becomes more evident the further i get.
it’s all coming together now
crocheting the squares together took a surprisingly long time. i single crocheted around each square with natural then single crocheted it together with the next block(s) through the back loop of each adjoining side. my squares all look biased for some reason, i’ve never had that happen before. i’m hoping it will block out
