Wow, I am not sure where this year is going! I can't believe that March is so quickly approaching. I have been busy, busy, busy crocheting blankets for each of my granddaughters. Six of them! :)
It all started with my newest granddaughter born in October, 2011. I crocheted a baby blanket for her with the softest white yarn I could find and trimmed it in pink & purple. I was very happy and excited when I finished it, but then it occurred to me, what a bad grandma I have been. My other five granddaughters didn't get a blanket from me. Soooooooooo..... I haven't put down my crochet hook since the revelation. I had not crocheted for years prior to this adventure.
Next came having to decide what colors I would use. I decided to go with what I felt went with each child:
Chloe, nine months old, who is bold and fun received a crocheted blanket in hot pink, black and lime green.
Braelyn, three years old, who is bright and colorful, her blanket was crocheted in variegated yarn of blue, green, yellow, pink & white.
Kalia, nine years old, she is a hockey goalie and fun received a blanket done in off-white & brown variegated yarn.
Marissa, soon to be 15, presented the most challenging to date. She is so girlie, girl, loves the 40's, vintage and is very artistic. I knew I had to make her something special. I decided on Roses and Granny Square done in Dusty Rose, Sage Green & White. I just completed 30 squares. All that is left is to put them together using a trellis finish. *whew* I loved, loved, loved creating this afghan.
I will be sure to post a photo of the finished afghan. I am so excited, can't wait to see it done! One more afghan to crochet for granddaughter Airika. WOOT!
When all is done, I just might have to look for other children to crochet for. :)
Have a great week everyone!
