Winter Crochet Blankets….

.

The cool crisp season is here!… I have been working on 3 blankets for the upcoming winter season,,, I worked on them in between writing the Amazing Grace Pattern Series…  Last night I finally had time to put the final touches on two of them and snap some pictures… These two blankets are headed over to my Etsy Shop later today!!!  Both blankets turned out perfect!  When I began both of them,,, I wasn’t sure of the final result and I hope they will both be scooped up by someone who will love them!

.

The first blanket I call Pewter and Berries.  It is a Granny Ripple… Very simple, yet very striking!  I used Red Heart With Love Yarn and it turned out soft and cozy.  The blanket measures 70″ x 56″… A perfect winters blanket!

The second blanket is for baby… this is a Ziggy Zaggy, Yellow and Purple Blanket…  I used Lion Brand Pounder… Great soft yarn for baby!  It measures 36″ x 38″…  It is gender neutral in yellow and purple…

I have one more blanket to join and put the edging on… Hopefully I will get to that soon!  But in the meantime… I needed to whip up something quick… So I made these great ballet style slippers that were featured over on my Facebook page in my daily segment… “Would you wear it… Would you make it???”  They were quick to make and very comfortable… If you would like to give them a try… Click here for the free pattern…
