I've joined in the Mixed Stitch Stripey Blanket Crochet Along going on over at Jules blog, Little Woollie. Katrin (Cattinka blog) first showed her progress on this crochet along on her blog. I think Cyn (Cyns Quilted Travaels) and I saw it there at about the same time and wrote each other. Then we wrote EllyD (Mad 4 Patchwork) to join in, and now the four of us are all working on the same crochet along together again. The four of us have also worked on the Granny's Gone Wild Crochet Along and the Giant Granny Square quilt along. It's a lot of fun to crochet along with these blog friends again.
Here is my progress so far:
I'm doing a blanket wide enough to fit our king sized bed. I think this bed really needs some pillows!
I have loved this blanket since I saw it on the front of this magazine in March 2011.
The crochet along blanket is very similar to this one, but I think I'm going to like it better because Jules is adding a lot of variety in the stitches. I really appreciate her effort writing out the pattern and showing great photos of her work.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
That's going to be beautiful! I think it's going to keep you busy for quite a while! :0)
ReplyDeleteLovely LuAnn. Look forward to seeing more. I am still plugging away with my Hexagons.:-)
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is going to be awesome. I wish I had seen this sooner. I just started a new one, and I just can't take on any more right now. have fun!
ReplyDeleteThis will be a very pretty blanket. I wonder if I could even remember how to do more than a SC and DC? It has been ages since I have crocheted more than that!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Your afghan will be really big! Love the one on the mag, and yours will be even better!

Oh your blanket is looking fabulous already! Your yarn has a silky look to it. What is the yarn you are using?
ReplyDeleteThat is one gorgeous blanket you're making. It's going to look perfect on your bed.. with or without pillows. Wish I had the courage to take on such a big project.. you rock girl!
ReplyDeleteLove your crochet work. I unpacked my hooks and thought of you. I am so tempted but so far have resisted. Your projects are beautiful.
