Coming along

Here's a photo update of the pretty aqua blanket. It's oh so sunny!




As I mentioned in my first post, This one is going to be a coverlet for a double sized bed, so I have a little ways to go, but I just love these colors together. Again, I am using: Lion Brand Gold Fish and Sweet Pea, Red Heart's Cornmeal and a discontinued Robin's Egg, as well as Bernat Aqua. I'm using the join-as-you-go method to put them all together.

  2. Hi Laura,
    I've never tried the join as you go method. Is there more than one way to do it?
    Happy weekend!

    1. Hi Maureen, There are several different ways you can do it. The one in my "tutorials" section above is how I do it. There's a newer (2012) book out there with good instruction. It's another Edie Eckman book called Connect the Shapes Crochet Motifs. Lots of ideas and of course she always uses great colors... Have a wonderful weekend!

  3. Gorgeous, Laura! I love your color choices. I'm currently finishing up a daisy afghan using your directions. It's for my daughter's baby, but I love it so much I might have to make one for myself when I'm done! I'll let you know when I post it on my blog. Thank you for taking time to share your work!

  8. Oi amiga, adorei todas as novidades do teu blog, seu blog continua lindo, trouxe uma poesia para você,beijokas
    Deus te dá a lã e a agulha


    E te diz: Crocheta o melhor que puder, um ponto de cada vez.

    Cada ponto é um dia na agulha do tempo.

    Depois de 12 carreiras de 30 ou 31 pontos,

    Terás 365 pontos,

    Em dez anos, cerca de 3650 pontos…

    Alguns são pelo direito, outros pelo avesso…

    Há pontos que se perdem…

    Mas que podemos recuperar…

    A lã que o bom Deus nos dá,

    Para crochetar nossa existência, é de todas as cores:

    Rosa como nossas alegrias, negra como nossos sofrimentos,

    Cinza como nossas dúvidas, verde como nossas esperanças,

    Vermelha como nossos amores, azul como nossos desejos,

    Branca como a fé que temos nele.

    Quantos pontos caberão no crochê de tua vida?

    Só Deus é quem sabe !!
