I found that I had a few minutes this weekend and thought I would find out what all the hubub was about regarding the granny square block. ...

Hello again! I can't believe it's been a week since I've posted! My summer is still in full swing around here and time gets away from me too fast. I hope all of you are enjoying your summer as much as I am. Today I wanted to show you the project that I took along with me on my camping trip. My project was inspired by a photo that I saw on Pinterest.... using 5" squares that are sewn together and then adding crochet. You know that I love to add crochet edgings on several of my fabric patterns so when I saw the photo...I was inspired and started immediately! I just kind of made up my blanket as I went along but I have now discovered that there is a tutorial by Corey@Little Miss Shabby and a flickr group and it's a crochet along as well! It's called the Fusion Blanket Crochet Along. Fabric/Crochet fused together = fun!!! I love the fact that I have been able to use up even more of my precut leftovers from Sew Cherry, Daisy Cottage and Millie's Closet. I chose to use "I Love This Cotton" yarn in 68 Aqua that I bought at Hobby Lobby. It's so soft and the color is yummy and goes with all of my fabrics...and is 100% cotton which is a big plus for me. I like to work with natural fibers as much as possible. I have several squares completed so far... they really work up fast. I did a single crochet into each buttonhole stitch and then a double crochet into each single crochet and that's all! Easy peasy. *Take note that on the corners...I did 3 stitches instead of one:) I love the scrappiness of my blanket... I put some of the squares up on my design wall together to see how they will look when I crochet them together. I will just use a single crochet stitch when joining them and I think I will leave the holes in the intersections...I like how it adds a lacy kind of look. Of course I will make the final decision on that when I join them all together:) I know that today is Tuesday... and week 5 of The Great Granny Along!!! I don't have anything new to show you yet...but Jodi has some new blocks...so go over and see them! All of the beautiful blocks and quilts that are showing up on the flickr group are just amazing!!! It's been so fun to see all of them over the last 5 weeks:) Next post...I will be showing you a sneak peek of my up coming fabric line. Until then...have a quilty kind of day:) xx Lori

A fusion quilt is a fun alternative to making a patchwork quilt. This tutorial is part 1 of 2 and shows how to make the squares for the quilt.

The photo above © Jopalmer1 This is a code block for the lantern shape motif, which is a variation of the granny hexagon pattern. The curved design allows the motifs to fit together perfectly. The code assumes that you have bought the kit, which includes the yarn, the printed pattern and the Janie Crow label. If you are using different shades or yarns, please disregard the references to the kit yarns and make sure that your yarn matches the weight, length and tension required for this project.

I always have a project going. Quilting, scrapbooking, and many miscellaneous Christmas projects...quite a few have been completed, and many more are unfinished in the cupboard. I tried knitting once, but was never able to relax and find my groove. I ended up at the chiropractor to fix the consequences of stress knitting and that was the end of that. I also tried, for approximately five minutes, to learn to crochet a baby afghan. My sister makes the prettiest little blankets, and it looked like fun. I never took up my hook though. Yesterday, with the arrival of my Garnet Hill catalog, a new obsession was immediately born. I am in love with this (photo from Garnet Hill website) granny square (although I suppose it's hexagon) afghan. My love of all things granny started last year with this scarf. It was ridiculously priced at $68.00, so I simply admired it in the store. Apparently, everyone else thought it was over priced as well, and a full year later, it was on a killer clearance so I snatched it up. I have to admit, I never, ever, dreamed I would be into granny squares. Some things from the seventies should never be seen again, but with the right yarn and color combination, I feel sure granny is here to stay. Any other granny lovers out there? Will it be easy to learn? Crochet on.

In my heart, there is a soft spot for granny squares. Whenever I see an incredible granny, my heart skips a beat. It undeniably did so upon seeing Magda's amazing blanket that can be found in the Simply Crochet's issue 23. I also adore Kandi's idea of covering the crochet blanket with a quilted piece. These are Renate's pillows, but imagine these in a blanket. Gorgeous! Sharron shared a tutorial for these lovelies on her blog. Check it out! These two squares are on the top of my list. I hope to make blankets with these one day. The one above comes with a tutorial courtesy of Monica. There is also a tute for this one courtesy of Patricia. If you were wondering about me, well I've been labouring over a granny owl blanket I sincerely hope to finish soon.

Below outlines how I like to make my Granny Squares. The instructions listed below describe using 2 chains in each corner space – which is how I prefer to do it. Some patterns have 3 chains in each corner and some have 1 chain. For a couple of the projects on my website I have used 1 chain, but on the whole I like to use 2 chains. This is personal preference and I decide which I will use depending on each new Granny Square project.

Estaba mirando algunos blogs que tengo guardados y mirad que chulada de mantas... y algunas son de las que no hay que coser cuadritos!!!! con unas lanas bonitas

Morning all. I have to say it's nice to come back to blogging with a ta-dah moment. Without taking a break, it may have been a fair bit longer for this moment to have come! Thank you so much for your comments and emails with regards to my last post. Trying to find a balance between bloggy time and home life is a hard one to get right. I think I just needed a good break away and reassess how I can make a better balance for me, which means I don't feel like I am always letting someone down. Being a mum, you spread yourself thin. You try to be everything to everyone, but sometimes you just realise something has to give. I'm still here, but I will be posting less. So............. After being VERY unenthused in the creative department, I dug deep to get a couple of things done. I thought that if I actually got something finished, it might spur me onwards and upwards. I didn't want to force myself into picking the Evening Sun Blanket up to work on when I felt so crafty blah. I started another project first....and on completion.....and feeling happy with the finished article.....once again she sat on my lap to have me lovingly attend to her. So......... finally...... .......she is finished. And, boy, she has SOOOOOOOOO been worth the wait. I have completely loved working on her....and I have completely fallen head over heels in love with her. She is a she. She does seem to have a personality. Strange? A bit. I think it is because she doesn't look like she has just been made. She has come from the Narnia Wardrobe. I'll explain....... I have quite a few things in my possession that have come from the Narnia Wardrobe. In my Grandparents attic, there is a Narnia type wardrobe. If you open it, push past all the clothing items, you'll find a chest at the back on the floor. In this chest are quite a few wonderous items. I have found a bag, a necklace, a brooch, a jar, a teapot, some letters, a shawl........and when I looked deep enough into this chest.......I found this blanket. It was waiting......just for me to find it and bring it to life again. Okay....so I may sound a little off my rocker here, but that's how I view certain things that I know are going to mean a lot to me. They are sentimental, and they all come from this old chest all hidden away. Maybe, in reality, that's what i'll do for my family and later generations, as it sounds really rather lovely. I started her back in 2011. She was originally intended to be a cushion. A teeny tiny little cushion, but as soon as I started working her up, I knew she had to be more than that. I really didn't NEED another blanket, but I imagined her being there for us all on summer evenings, wherever we were, when the sun was starting to fade and the slight chill was appearing in the air. I wanted to have her to wrap around us as we sat outside, looking up at the summer sky, and making memories. I wanted to have a blanket that could see us through anything for years and years to come. A blanket that would be our faithful friend, and be there for us whenever we needed her. She was completely different to what I had made before. Maybe that was why I became so taken with her. She is a big blanket. Big enough to snuggle myself and the bears comfortably in when we are outside. She also wraps around you beautifully on a sofa for necessary sofa snuggling. I wanted a nice big border for her. It was clear quite early on that she deserved something rather big and grand. A teeny little picot or shell edge really wasn't going to cut the mustard. I searched for ages trying to find something that would suit her. All my crochet border books had small borders and I knew she wouldn't be entirely happy with that.......and neither would I. I found inspiration on pinterest. I stumbled across the prettiest border I had seen and I knew it would work perfectly with her. I was lead to this blog here What a lovely blanket! A link is provided on this blog post to show you where to find the edging pattern if you are interested. I added a little extra to the end of mine. She is big....and she is really rather heavy too. It was impossible for me to photograph her all laid out. She was actually too heavy to hang. She is definitely a drapey blanket. Incredibly warm too. She has been a dream to work under on cold nights. I put together this colour scheme originally with ivory in the mix also. I thought though, that if I was making a cushion, then I could do away with the ivory, as there would be the ivory of the cushion cover showing through the gaps......and that would be fine. At the beginning when I decided she needed to be a blanket, I did wonder if omitting the ivory would make me love her less. I think that had I used ivory, she would have looked lovely......REALLY lovely......but she would have looked 'new'. Not adding the ivory has made her look instantly 'old' and I think that is what is enchanting about her. It also might have something to do with the fact that not only did I mix and match yarn, I also mixed up my crocheting together. I used different makes of yarn. I didn't really think it would matter at first as I was only making a cushion. I liked the colour combinations greatly, so that was it for me! Most were dk (but they varied slightly in thickness), and I used a 4 ply for one colour. I know that will make some of you shudder! I actually loved that I did it. The fact that they were all slightly different in weight added something different. I think along with the colours, this helps to give her this 'vintage' quality. I randomly crocheted the squares together so they were not linked in a set pattern. I just picked her up as I found her and made a few at a time, and I loved that I did this too. So......she's probably not every one's cup of tea....... .....I used mixed yarn and, for the size and weight, most would have single crocheted her all together to make her firmer. But that's great she wont be every one's cup of tea....because she's my cup of tea. I made a row of 12 squares by 17. A simple granny circle in a square. I have no idea where the pattern originally came from. I have used it quite a few times in projects, and I have seen it used on many makes in blog land. I just like it. Six rows of treble clusters to border it before the big lacy edge was added. Sewing in the ends took a while. 204 squares with 8 ends each to sew in, plus all the edgings. Over 1,632 ends to sew in......YIKES. I was deliriously happy when I saw there was one square left! ha ha! When laid out, she measures approx 60 x 78 inches which is a nice size. Boy, are we looking forward to making good use out of her..... .....and do you know what.... ....I swear I can hear her saying the very same thing! So...... Here's to you Evening Sun..... I have loved creating you....and we will spend many a year using you. XXX

The week has been a quiet one. A nice half term week. I think we needed it. To get completely over all the little bugs floating about. To just spend time relaxing. Not feeling like we had to be somewhere, do something. I like those kind of weeks. No pressure. Just a chance to unwind and take it easy. To lounge, to bake, to lie in bed with all the Bears snuggled up too, just having a chat, having a giggle and a tickle. My kind of week for sure. We had a hearty kind of week.....to celebrate Valentines. Not something we MAJORLY do in this house. But this year, I felt the urge to heart it out. Heart sprinkle cakes were made. Simple little butter biscuits, teamed with vanilla buttercream and sprinkles. All sorts of sizes. Some to hang off the milk cups, some filled with marshmallow fluff for an extra treat. These were fun to make and went down well this week. Confetti was sprinkled.... ...and sugar hearts were made for coffees... ....tea was sipped...books were read.....ideas were formed.... Fun drinks were made and sipped.... And hearty treats were eaten... ....and used to top some fairy cakes... .....more butter biscuits.... ....a vert treaty kind of week going on here..... In amongst all of this hearty adoration, I managed to squeeze in a little play time.... ......hook up a little something for someone.... ....carry on with my lovely.... Potter about the house..... Indulge in a fair bit of this.... .....perfect on the chilly days.....and this too... Suffice to say, the healthy eating has flown out of the window this week. Cold weather and being snug in the house has made me crave this every day. Although, I did use the milk that looks like coloured water for my porridge and my latte, and it is sweetner mixed with cinnamon, so that's not too bad, right? And enjoying a new little present from my lovely Mother-in-Law.... I feel recharged again. Roll on the new term...... xxx

Informazioni sullo schema: un giorno ero in biblioteca con le mie ragazze e ho notato il libro Anne Arrives nella sezione bambini. È scritto da Kallie George e basato sul libro Anne of Green Gables, della mia autrice preferita, Lucy Maud Montgomery. All'interno del libro ho trovato una bellissima illustrazione dell'artista Abigail Halpin di Anne nascosta nel letto sotto una colorata trapunta a nove toppe. Sapevo che dovevo dare vita a questa illustrazione! Mia figlia di 9 anni è stata così gentile da posare come Anne Shirley in queste foto.  Livello di abilità: intermedio I punti utilizzati includono cat, m.bss, mb, ma, m.m.a. per il bordo Dimensioni finite: puoi realizzare questa trapunta in qualsiasi dimensione desiderata. La trapunta campione era lunga 5 quadrati x larga 4 quadrati e misurava ca. 40” x 50”, compreso il bordo. Materiali: • Filato pettinato nei colori a scelta – ca. 1650 iarde. Vedi le note sulla distanza in metri per quadrato all'interno del modello. • Misura dell'uncinetto H (5,0 mm) Il modello è scritto in termini americani standard.

One of my favourite things to do, is take a favourite pattern of mine and put a chunky spin on it. I love creating these chunky yarn blankets because they’re very quick to work up, simple and stunning! Wool Ease Thick & Quick is my favourite super chunky yarn but you can use any yarn that yo

Pinterest è una fonte inesauribile di ispirazioni ... la mia bimba voleva una coperta per la sua bambola del cuore e riordinando la cesta dei filati erano giusto saltati fuori mezzi gomitoli nei diversi toni del rosa e panna. Navigando e cercando ispirazione mi sono imbattuta prima in questa foto ... Amore a prima vista ... (Fonte: Pinterest) poi nelle piastrelline sunburst ... sembrano girasoli ed il motivo a noccioline è davvero piacevole da realizzare (Fonte: Pinterest) Alla fine a forza di navigare mi sono imbattuta in questi 2 tutorial il primo senza noccioline, il secondo con ! (Fonte: Pinterest) (Fonte: Pinterest) mi dispiace solo non aver segnato il blog di provenienza, lo avrei condiviso con piacere (Fonte: Pinterest) La fantasia può correre sul filo del colore e creare bellissimi accostamenti. Nei prossimi giorni vi mostrerò la copertina ultimata ... peccato che ora anche il piccolo ne voglia una per il suo Minion ! Buon pomeriggio a tutte

Crochet is a great way to join together knitted strips or squares, as in this rainbow bedspread . It's less stretchy than knitting, which me...

Update 19-05-2018 Thanks to my wonderful tester Noelene Sampey I was able to make a revised version of the Bergenia square. Be sure to get the latest version, which is number 3! ~~~~~~~~~~ Maybe you have come across Arietis? Well, Bergenia is her big sister! Although this pattern looks complex, it’s really easy to make and repetitive enough to make it a calming pattern to make. Each round is quite simple, but together and in combination with the ombre colours they form a lovely, hypnotic pattern. Both Arietis and Bergenia find their inspiration in the wonderful Nomad by Fate patterns of Martin Up North. This square measures 25 x 25 cm (10 x 10 inches) when it’s made in Scheepjes Colour Crafter, but it can easily be extended. You will need only small amounts of this yarn for one square. The stitches that are used are normal stitches like sc, hdc, dc, fpdc, fptr. You will also be making stitches in the back loops only. Nothing too hard! This pattern is available as an On Screen and a Printerfriendly version. You will recieve them both. The price of this pattern is equal to one skein of my favorite yarn (Scheepjes Catona) at my favorite yarn shop (CR Couture in Rhoon). So by donating this you will make both me and my yarn shop really happy! Have fun with Bergenia! Cindy ~~~~~~~~~~ Heb je Arietis gezien? Maak dan nu kennis met Bergenia, haar grote zus! Dit patroon mag er dan complex uitzien, dat is het niet om te maken. Het doet me aan een Zentangle denken: iedere lijn die je daarbij maakt, is niet bijzonder of moeilijk, maar als je na verloop van tijd wat afstand neemt, ben je telkens weer verbaasd over het resultaat. De combinatie van de steken en het ombre kleurverloop zorgen voor dit hypnotiserende effect. Zowel Arietis als Bergenia zijn geïnpireerd op de prachtige Nomad by Fate patronen van Martin Up North. Het vierkant is 25 x 25 cm als je het maakt in Scheepjes Colour Crafter, maar het kan heel makkelijk groter gemaakt worden. Het patroon gaat je vanzelf de weg wijzen. Je hebt maar kleine hoeveelheden van de verschillende kleuren nodig voor één Bergenia. De steken die gebruikt worden in het patroon zijn gewone steken zoals vaste, (halve) stokjes en reliëfsteken voorlangs en je werkt voor het grootste gedeelte alleen in de achterste lussen van de steken. Niets ingewikkelds! Je ontvangt het patroon als een Printvriendelijke en een Scherm versie. De prijs van dit patroon is gelijk aan één bolletje van mijn favoriete garen (Scheepjes Catona) bij mijn favoriete wolwinkel (CR Couture in Rhoon). Als je dit patroon aanschaft maak je ons allebei dus heel erg blij ;-) Veel plezier met Bergenia! Cindy

Hellooooooooo.....How are you? I'm just popping in, because I wanted to tell you the story of a blanket. I was going to do my usual yearly round up post in January, but I felt that this deserved a post of its own. I felt like it needed to be written down and remembered. This year my hands have not stopped with a hook and yarn. It's been euphoric and draining all at once. I'll explain more about my crafty year in my round up post in January, but this blanket, well, I have thoroughly enjoyed its journey. Here is the story of how it came about........ ❀❀❀❀❀ I had an idea to make a granny squares blanket using pastels. I had been spending time on a project that was draining my life force, and I was dreaming of a simple little granny squares blanket that would restore my 'happy' box. The kind of pastels I wanted were sludgy and faded pastels. That was all I knew. Then I watched a film. The Light Between Oceans. Whilst I enjoyed the film, what struck me most was the scenery in which it was filmed......and the costumes. The film revolves around the life of two main characters who live on a lighthouse on a remote island. The time is just after the First World War. The scenery was beautiful; windswept and rugged. The costumes; natural fabrics, wool, lace and utilitarian. The colours, oh the colours, they really spoke to me. Just lots of neutrals, greys of the sky, blue of the ocean and grey blues in their costumes. After I had seen the film, I suddenly thought how nice the idea of my pastel blanket would be if it reflected the ruggedness of the land with the hues of the windswept skies and seas in the film. So....a new blanket was born. I had a specific idea on what I wanted. Similar tones, and a blanket with an outdoors utilitarian feel. I chose most of my yarns to be pure wool or Alpaca mixes. I think I had only two colours which had any percentage of acrylic, albeit a small percentage. Many were tweed yarns as I wanted to replicate this connection with nature. I did not want soft or fluffy or cosy. It's funny, because usually the soft warm feel is very important to me in a blanket. This was the total opposite! Now.....in my usual haphazard, non thinky way, I just made the squares and made enough to try and work out what length and width I would like it to be. I needed 360 squares. They were an utter joy to make. After working on a project that was huge and all connected, it felt like total freedom to just make the odd square as and when I could. Turns out I became absolutely besotted with the blanket. I couldn't crochet the squares quick enough. My brain would start itching about five in the morning, so I was up with a cup of tea and a hook. Yarn and a hook seemed to go everywhere with me to get the odd one in. I made the granny square quite a compact one, as I wanted it to feel thick and tightly bound.......more hard wearing for the outdoors. I wanted them to be quite openly seamed together to create a more vintage feel. For the border I wanted something simple, plain, and utilitarian. So......do you want to see it in all its glory? Get ready for an epic amount of pics. It was a nice day, what can I say? meet........ Isle Of Skye ❀❀❀❀❀ It's everything I wanted....and more. I'm totally in love with it. It's HUGE. As usual it's way bigger than I had in my head! Of course it would be, it wouldn't be me if it wasn't big. 360 squares. I made a basic granny square, but I wanted it quite compact so the blanket would be tight and robust. I just omitted the chain one from in-between each cluster, and did 6 trebles (uk) on the corners without any chains. I used a 3.5mm hook using dk yarn. It turned out just how I wanted it to turn out. It sort of links it to the era of the film in my mind (which is somewhat fitting too with Rembrance Sunday this weekend). It's SOOOOOOOOO heavy. Oh my word it is heavy. Ridiculously so. The squares are compact and tightly crocheted, and using mainly pure wool yarn, crikey.......it's hard on the back to carry! Also, I'm not gonna lie.......it has a faint whiff of sheep and wet dog. Sounds a tad gross I know, but actually, I like it. It sort of adds to the whole entity of what I wanted to achieve. It's a different one for me. I rarely just use one hue of colours. I loved working on it though. I loved how it was plain. I think my brain, at the time, needed plain. Of course, it looks totally out of place nestled in amongst my other blankets. However, this one will be amazing in the coming Winter. It's soooooooo warm. The Bear's are fighting over whose bed it will be going on. I'd like to think mine, but I am turning into the Princess and the Pea with the number of blankets thrown on my bed. We shall see. All I know is that I love it. I truly LOVE it. So there you are. One of my 2018 creations. I shall be back in the New Year with a round up post. I might even have my act together and have some photos of all the projects I have been working on. Seriously, I have been so creatively stupid this year, you wouldn't believe!!!!! Have a super few months. I'll see you in the New Year with a round up post of all my 2018 makes and goings on. cheerio XXX P.S I forgot how long it takes to write text and upload the gazillion photos I took of this blanket. I have loved it though. I have missed it a lot this year. I have thoughts I will share in January. P.P.S After I published this, I went and lay under said blanket with a huge cup of tea and a book. It was HEAVEN. This thing is going to be utterly toasty in the Winter months. BRING IT ON!
