Throughout 2015 I crocheted many handmade gifts for friends, teachers, and family too. I had set a goal last year to crochet a blanket for each and every family member. That meant eight blankets needed to be made. I am happy to report that I made my goal, and I think my family appreciated the gifts too.

I think I made at least twenty scarves for the kids teachers and friends of the family too.

I also crocheted wreaths for Agnes and Dylan to pass out for gift bags at Christmas. I think I crocheted forty-five of them for the kiddos.

Here are some photos of all of the handmade blankets that I gifted this year.

I made this colorful granny-square blanket for my Mother in law. She was the one who taught me how to make a granny-square a few years ago.

I made this African flower blanket for my Mother. She said that her grandmother made a blanket just like this one many years ago. I think that is pretty cool.

I made this super cozy grey blanket for my soon to be Brother in law.

I called this one my granny-burst blanket for my Brother’s girlfriend. This blanket had little granny-circles encompassed in squares, and the white yarn made the bright colors pop.

I made this lovely hexagon blanket for my Sister (in law) . I loved the look of this blanket, it looks like stained glass.

I made this bright-striped blanket for my Brother. This blanket came together quickly. This one was the biggest blanket that I made, but it only took me about a month and a half to complete it.

Just in time for Christmas, I finished up these beautiful granny-square blankets for my darling nieces. How I love those darling little ones.

It was really fun crafting and crocheting through the year. I am so happy that I met my goal for handmade gifts. This year I’m teaching myself how to knit. Maybe I’ll make knitted gifts for everyone next Christmas.

My hand is almost all healed, so I’ve been cooking and crocheting. I’m happy to have a hook back in my hand.

I’ve been working on another scrappy blanket during the evenings. The weather is already cooling off, and this little blanket is extra warm.

Just in time for Christmas. I finished all eight of my gift blankets for our family. I am so happy to have this project completed.

I tried my hand at amigurumi for Miss Agnes.  At first this little animal was going to be a bunny, and then I thought a bear.

It ended up being a little cat named Mittens.

I’ve been making some scarves too. Some are for teacher gifts, some are for the kids since they have outgrown their other ones. I even made one for myself.

I’m also crocheting Christmas ornaments for Agnes’ class. They have a little gift exchange on the last day before Winter break.

The little wreaths are so cute. I might end up making some for Dylan’s class too.
