Work In Progress Wednesday

Now that I have finally finished K's blanket it is time to start A's. She had picked out the colors a while back. She loves blue, so blue and cream were her colors of choice. I also found a pattern on Bev's blog One Yarn After Another that I really liked. Mine might not be exactly like her's, but it was the inspiration for mine.

Still working on my daughters blanket. It is coming along nicely. I am pretty happy with the way it is turning out.

Working on more Mug Rugs for my Etsy store. I will list them on Etsy once I get several sets done.

Cinnamon is very curious about the projects that I work on. She loves to watch the yarn as I crochet. Usually she can control herself from pouncing on it. Here she is checking the quality of my Mug Rugs. She approved.

Well, my daughter did not wait long before wanting me to start her blanket. These are the colors she picked out. It is actually working up pretty quick and is turning out better than I thought it would.

 This is a special surprise for my daughter. I am also making her a baby doll blanket to match her blanket. She will be so surprised when she finds out. I have to work on it when she is in bed at night so she won't know. Hope she doesn't read my blog.

I am participating in a gifting game on Facebook called Pay It Forward 2011. This is what I posted as my status: "Pay it Forward 2011: I promise to send something handmade to the first 5 people who leave a comment here. They must in turn post this and send something they make to the first 5 people who comment on their status. ***The rules are that it must be handmade by you and it must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011." 

The blue dishcloths above are for the first person who responded to my status. I think that this is a great idea and will be fun to surprise my friends with a gift this year. I may try it on this blog in the future, you will have to stay tuned to see when. ; ) 

The red and white dishcloths and the "Mug Rugs" (or coasters) below are for my Etsy store. I need to get some new things listed.

Work In Progress Wednesday-Sort of

I really have not had much time this week to crochet. I am still working on the knitted scarf I posted a couple of weeks ago. Or I should say that it is still in my craft bag unfinished, not much working on it going on. I also have done very little on the red, white and blue blanket. Needless to say it has been a slow craft week.
I was able to finish the blanket I posted last week, so I will just show you the pics of the finished product. I love how it turned out. I haven't anyone to gift it to just yet, but I am sure I will very much enjoy gifting it when the time comes.

This close up should have been rotated.

 I love this blanket the more I work on it. I wasn't so sure about it when I started it. I only chose these colors because I got them at a very good price on Ebay. But now that it is almost finished I am loving it. Look for the finished product later this week.

 

This is the other red, white, and blue blanket I am working on for Christmas presents. I only had the red done last week so I am making slow progress.

This is a blanket that I am finishing up for a Christmas gift. Each square is different. I really like the way it turned out. I just need to finish up the border. 

This is the start of a second blanket that I am making for a Christmas gift. It will also be red, white, and blue. I have a lot of work to do to get it finished.

I am also trying to get some scarves done to add to my Etsy store. I absolutely LOVE this yarn together. It is so, so soft. They make the most wonderfully soft scarves.
