Crochet blankets

September 23,  2014

Oh, how I love these blankets and so want to crochet one!!

I recently bought a pattern in hopes to find the time to make one someday.

I think the colors look so beautiful together!

I thought the last blanket was different from the other two but I might be mistaken.

Has anyone ever made one?

Thanks for visiting with me!

Work in progress

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my progress on ~ Square in a Square ~ hooked rug,

designed by Maggie Bonanomi.

A fun rug to hook and great way to use up leftover wool strips!

Maggie used the snip and tear method, I'm using a #9 cut.

I love the wonky look of Maggie's rug but I have a hard time hooking that way.

In fact I will probably take out a few loops in the light row down at the point 

because the wool is a bit narrower there. 

The weather here in Pa has been beautiful!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

xoxo Louise

Finishing up!

September 2, 2014

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend!

I spent some time finishing up my punch needle designs.

I used Rebecca's Lindquist's method

backing each piece with wool then sewing a strip of wool all around the edges.
I think the edge adds a little pizazz!

So happy they're finally finished!

 I also found time to draw out a geometric design

 by Maggie Bonanomi found it in her book "Comfort Zone".

I will be using up lots of left over light and dark wool strips.

Love that!!!
Will share once I get started.

Thanks so very much for stopping by!!

xoxo Louise
