Blankets Galore

Please enjoy blankets galore in this post. I’ll try to post the pattern links with each photo, but some of them may be too far in the past to remember which pattern I used.

This was actually a commission from a co-worker. I made it extra long at her request, and I think it turned out great! I’m actually embarrassed that I cannot remember what pattern I used, but it may have been this one.

I have no idea what pattern this one is, but I did learn a new stitch for it and that I have to keep my projects up away from the dogs since they love to snuggle in them.

This one is actually a bit of a sore subject. I loved making it, and it took a while because I had to learn a couple new stitches. Plus, learn how to keep track along the way, but I ruined it at the end with some hot glue and I’m still struggling to figure out how to fix that.

My MIL was gifted this one since it was one of my favorite projects AND one of my favorite yarns. I learned a lot of new techniques and have made it more than once, so you know it’s a good one!

HAHA! I found out that I have to either restart a project several times (see that awkward bump at the bottom of the left-hand photo?). OR, I have to frog a large section at least once. But look how pretty this sweet little blanket turned out to be. I amazed myself by just using a stitch tutorial to create a whole blanket!

I told you this post would have blankets galore … and there’s even more!

I wish I had a photo of the whole completed project, but alas … I gave it away before snapping a pic. I learned the moss stitch and discovered I love patterns by Daisy Farm Crafts. I figured out my own pattern of stripes, which may not seem like a big deal, but … MATH!

This was a fun project! I had leftover yarn from various other projects that went together well. And, I had so much fun doing the moss stitch that I did it again. My oldest granddaughter loves her blanket.

Isn’t my mom the cutest?!?!? Even though this pattern is a baby blanket, I made it big enough for her.

This fabric treatment smells so good! And this was my first time blocking a project. I have yet to see how the blanket does getting washed and dried, so we’ll have to check that out soon.

Not too bad for a beginner, if I do say so myself! I don’t know when one becomes an experienced beginner, but that is not really important to me. I have so much left to learn. And, so many unfinished projects that I could make another long post like this, lol! Stay tuned …
