Hexagon Update & Scrap Ripple 2

Need 320 hexagons for double bed. Have 93 hexes complete,73-3rd round,15-2nd round,39-1st round. This keeps being set aside for other projects.

In working on the hexagon afghan I found I still have many larger scraps or single balls. I've decided to start a ripple with them. I'm up to 60 rows. I'll probably try to do 60 more before I call it done.

Hexagon Update

Just a tiny post to update you on my long neglected Lucy Hexagon Afghan. I got 31 more hexes added last month. Hoping to keep up the one a day thing for this month too. So far so good.

This pic is from about halfway through July.

Giant Granny Ta-Da

I finally finished up the giant granny afghan. I used this pattern to get started. http://iamtotallyobsessedwithyarn.blogspot.com/2006/01/granny-square-pattern-with-pictures.html Then grannied to my hearts content. It's so relaxing. Made with Red Heart Super Saver and an I hook.

The edging is just 4 rounds of single crochet.(us) I think it gives a nice finish.

VVS Baby

Sorry for the lack of posts. I hadn't been crafting for a while. I started crocheting again in June. There should be a few ta-daa posts coming up. I've been crocheting like crazy. lol


I've been wanting to make an afghan using this pattern. http://belladia.typepad.com/bella_dia/2006/11/vintage_vertica.html I finally did it. Using up a bunch of Bernat Baby Coordinates and Caron's Simply Soft scraps that I had left over from other projects. It's 90 stitches long & 55 rows wide. I held 2 strands together & used a N hook. I love how it turned out. It's so very soft & plushy.



The edging is a round of single crochet(us), then a round of reverse single crochet.(link in my sidebar under crochet 101)


I had a bunch of scraps left still so I started a giant granny to use some more up. Here's the start. 2 strands held together & a N hook. Have to wait for some more simply soft left overs to finish it.

Ripple TaDa!

I finally finished the ripple for the livingroom. Hubby has already claimed it. LOL It's been 8 months in the making. The post I did at the beginning of this is here.

The trim is 2 rows of single crochet.

I had a bunch of yarn leftover so I've decided to do a giant granny to use it up. I might have to buy a little bit more. ;)

Help I'm a Ripple Addict

I've started another ripple. This one is for our living room. I'm using Red Heart super savers in gold, carrot, buff, claret,& med. thyme, with an I hook. I'm using Lucy's pattern. http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html & it's 11 chevrons across.

MIL's Cro-hook Afghan

I love cro-hooking . So very relaxing for me. And the blankies are so warm & snuggly. The link to the tutorial is in my sidebar, under Crochet 101 links.

I made this one for my MIL's b-day. I'm a little late.(it was in feb.) sigh.

I love how these blankies are double sided.

Finished & showing off my new hamock, hubby got for me.

The trim is just a simple shell stitch.

WIPs Update

I thought I'd post a few update pics.

Scrap Ripple

I have so many half skeins & balls of leftover yarn that I was running out of room in the yarn closet. So in addition to the scrap hexagon, I'm starting a ripple afghan too.

The pattern I'm using is here at Attic24.http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html

I love how easy it is once you get it started.

I wasn't sure I would like the "scrap" look, but I think it's quite pretty actually.

To my winners...I hope to get your packages sent out on Monday. ;)

2 Little Grannies

Working on afghans for a nephew & a great niece for christmas. Don't ya just love those colors?

Here's the Neon Granny.

And the Girly Granny.

I forgot to get pics of the finished afghans before I gave them, because it got rushed right before Christmas.

Ripple is finished.

Remember when I started this pretty blankie. http://crochetedsass.blogspot.com/2009/10/fun-afghan.html Well, I'm finally getting around to posting the finished pics for the granny ripple. I really enjoyed this pattern & love how the color combo turned out. My Mumsy loved it so much I wasn't sure it would make it to the charity auction. LOL


Close-up of the trim.



And here's a fully laid out shot.

Hexaghan update #3

I've gotten a bit more done on my scrapghan, so I thought I'd put up some pics.

This is such a fun pattern, & I'm really using up some scraps.

Here's the bag I'm keeping everything in.


Here's the ones that are done & joined.

2 & 3 rounds in.

And a pile of yo-yos.

Ruffles, Stripes & Hexes, Oh my!

Happy Halloween all!!! I thought tonight I'd get caught up on project pics.(i've fallen behind...bad shelley)

Here's all the ruffled girly scarfs I've done. Aren't the colors just delish.

And here's my stripey boy scarfs. Plain & simple, but oh so stylish. I'll put up a pattern soon.

And yummy scrap-granny-hexagon-afghan progress. I'm having way to much fun using up my scraps.
