This week I’ve been wrapping up a big crochet project, and making a few little ones too. I’m also getting started on crochet Christmas gifts for the ladies in our family, but I can’t post pictures of those just yet.

Continuing with cushion making, Agnes requested a yellow one. Yellow seems to be her favorite color this week, and it just so happened that I just picked up yellow yarn.

These little rounds are quick to crochet.

Here are the two completed rounds ready for their pillow form.

And done.

I think she likes it!

Next up, I’ll be making a green one for Dylan.

I also started and finished a little project for my purse. I was in need of a make-up bag, so I picked out some of my favorite yarn colors, and got to work.

Pinks and plums double crocheted into stripes. The crochet was complete in under an hour. I would have had the entire project done, but I needed to go and buy a zipper.

So cute!

I started this project in April. I thought a crazy throw would be great around the house. I love making granny-squares, and I wanted a project that I could work on a little at a time.

I started off by making granny-squares in three, six, and nine rounds. All different colors too.

Once I liked the look of it, I stitched it together. The first complete square became the pattern for the rest of the squares to come.

This quick project is also a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn.

The crochet work went quickly. Before I knew it, I had a stack of four completed squares.

Then I kept going…

And I kept crocheting squares until I had nine completed squares.

It was time to finish this throw.

That involved a lot of stitching, and one messy craft table.

Two days of stitching a little here and there, and I was done.

This little throw makes a big bold statement in the color department.

It looks cute draped over a chair (just waiting for a rainy day).

It makes a pretty great bedspread too.

This was a fun project, and fairly quick to make too. I loved the end result, and those crazy granny-squares!
