January was a great month to finish up some big projects, and also start work on Christmas gifts.

I stocked up on some new yarn, and organized my stockpile into projects.

My goals for the month were to finish the King-sized blanket once and for all, finish up the grey throw, and make a few Valentine’s Day pillows for the Summer daybed.

I made a quick three hour scarf as a gift for a very kind teacher.

I worked on some grannysquares too.

I also started working on a third blanket for Christmas.

I see lots of little squares in my future.

I practiced the triple-crochet stitch.

A little more practice here and there, and I think I’ll get the hang of it.

I was thinking that the house could use a few more pillows. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I decided that Valentine hued big and comfy granny-square pillows would do the job.

I made enough for four pillows. Now I just need to sew some liners, and stuff them.

The Grey Throw was next on my list to complete. This project was fairly quick.

I’ve been working on it here and there during the evenings.

It is one of the big kitty’s favorite nap spots.

The finished throw is extra cozy, and there is plenty of snuggle room.

I really liked this project. It was easy to crochet, and it added a little more warmth to the bedroom.

Lastly, the beast that I have been working on for about a year-and-a-half-or-so.

I decided that this was the month that I was going to complete the king-sized blanket once and for all.

I crocheted until I ran out of yarn, weaved in all of the ends, and called it done.

I love it! This was my biggest project as of yet, and I am really happy with the completed project.

It fit our bed nicely, and I love how warm this blanket is. It is perfect for cold Kansas weather.

Now that February is in full swing I’ve found myself working on the three Christmas blankets whenever I have a free moment. I also started a project for me. I’ll have some more photos up soon.
