I started this one while we were on vacation, many, many, many months ago.

The ocean hued yarn looks pretty happy in the Bahamas.

The throw started off as a little scarf, and I kept adding on more and more yarn.

The pattern is simple, 2dc, 1sc, and repeat over and over.

Hey, there is that other blanket that I still need to finish. The only downside to this little throw was that I didn’t purchase near enough yarn to finish it up, and then the store stopped carrying it all together. So I improvised.

I went through my yarn stash, and found pretty colors that complimented the ocean hues in the blanket. I decided to add two rows of dc of each color. The stripes looked great and added a finished look to the throw.

The finished throw is cozy and warm. Now to finish that other blanket for our bedroom.

I’ve been working on a few granny-square cushions for the Summer daybed. I guess I should call it an Autumn daybed now.

I picked out lots of different colors of pinks, reds, and purple too.

I also made one in bright blues, yellows, and green too.

Both of the cushions were very quick to crochet. I made two sixteen round granny-squares, and crocheted them together. I got out the sewing machine to make a quick square pillowcase to stuff.

They turned out really cute too. The granny-square cushions are very comfy, I just might have to make a few more of them.

Last month during the city-wide yard sale, I was on a yarn hunt. I was looking for all colors and types, as long as it was a good deal.

I was in luck and found some yarn at a few different sales. I spent an evening untangling and rolling all of the yarn into balls. There were little bits, and not quite enough for just one project. I decided to combine them all together, and make a messy blanket for the downstairs.

I ran through all of the thrifted yarn quickly. I added in a few odds and ends from my stash on the craft table.

I picked up a few skeins of yarn to add to the blanket too.

I’ve kept the blanket downstairs and worked on it whenever I had a few minutes.

This weekend I got it finished.

This blanket was extra quick to make, and fun to crochet too. All of the different types of yarn came together beautifully, and I already have plans to make a second one for upstairs.

The blanket ended up being the length of the couch, and it is warm, and oh so cozy.

The messy blanket is perfect for these cold KS nights.

Now that this one is done, I really need to get back to making that final Christmas blanket… Better get to it.

I had to go a different route with one of my handmade Christmas gifts. I wasn’t able to find the yarn that I’m needing to complete the first gift. I’ll have to complete it at another time, and gift it on a later date.

I made a scarf, and I really liked how this one turned out. It was quick to crochet, and it is really cozy too.

I also tried my hand at making a Pink Beanie for Agnes.

I didn’t use a pattern. I started with a circle, and added on a stitch here and a row there. It turned out just right, and she loves it. It was nice and warm on a cold KS day. Dylan wants on in green, so I’ll adjust the pattern a bit, and make one for him too.
