Pink & Gray Crochet

Ooohhhh...
Pretty Yarn !!

Working on the porch...

Chocolate, Gray, Bubblegum...

Coconut, Berry, Wineberry...

 

All put together...

Bordered in New Leaf Green, Deep Raspberry, Pale Pink...

 I was halfway tempted to have it for myself !!
Made this for Debbie's daughter Anna's 5 year old step-laughter... Can you tell her favorite colours are Pink ?!?

Went to a Plant Nursery... Can you have 'Geranium Envy' ?

Cause...

I Certainly did !!

Crocheting a Blankie & Hat...

My nieces little boy just had his second (!?!) birthday so he was the Happy Recipient of a Custom Handcrafted Primary Coloured Blankie !!

 I call Anna my niece... actually she is the Middle Daughter of my Bestest Friend since we were 14- Debbie's daughter...
Mostly kid colours and this was my First Ginormous Granny Square so somewhere it went Wonky & the outer most edges tried to Ripple...

It was very Calming to Crochet tho... Just going Around and Around until it felt like Blue needed to me added... or Orange !! 

It Seemed to get Really Big Really Fast the last Few Stripes...

Actually It turned out rather Nice & Cheery & Cuddley !!

 Birthday Boy just loves the character Elmo so I tried my hand at a Googley-Eyed Red/Orange hat...

You do have to admit he does really have Googely Eyes !!

This was the Un-Blurry-ist photo taken at his party...
He is a Fast Moving Giggling Machine !!
 
Oh...
Are Thirty Something Dads supposed to like Elmo too ?

I might have to make him a Batman hat for his B-day !!

Crocheting in Grape...

One of the best things in Later Life- 50 plus- is that Nieces and Nephews start Fanilies...
My Niece AnnaLee is expecting her next child/second baby/first daughter late this month...
Since her little boy was born I have always referred to him as 'Fang'.
Noe New Baby Girl has been given the title 'Bump-ette'...
Poor little thing !!
With the impending baby I felt the need to get my Crochet Game going and purchased More Yarn ( really- I need- Need- NEED- more Yarn.) and soon the Bounty arrived...

Not sure what hooky creation I would Finally Decide to make I chose just my usual mish-mash of colours...

 Whoever they put in charge of 'Naming of the Yarn' has a Wild Imagination... and most assuredly a Dictionary/Thesaurus...

Bubble gum and Toast and Pagoda...

Ocean and Blackberry Wine and Mint Julep...

Guacamole and Coconut and Watermelon...

Cornflower and Heather Hedge Tweed...

Bone and Grape...

Mallard and Cherry Red...

And Grape...

Did I mention Grape ?

Cause right at this moment I think I am 'In Love' with Grape.

Grape gave a Wiggley to my Thoughts as to what I would be making... 

 

I saw a Beauteous 'Patchwork' Afghan that Sucrette ...
had made for her new Baby Boy Joe ( who is really one of the sweetest looking little sugar plums Ever !!)...

So- Off to the races I went !!

Coconut with Grape-
Peach Frappe with Grape-

Guacamole with grape-

Cherry Red wittthhhh   :wait for it:   GRAPE !!
Grape and Bone- and Pagoda-

Minty, Toasty, Peachy... with Grape-

Bump-ettes blanky will be nine squares by eleven Squares...
I have my 99 Patches completed and am in the Process right now of stitching them into Strips...

Alice is 'Helping' as usual...

... seeing how Many Kittheh furz can Actually be Crocheted directly into the blanket. She has it down to a Science now !!

::*note to self- include a pair of tweezers in gift to remove cat hairs::

Photos to follow (first I have to get new batteries !!)

 
Grape--- and Yarn--- Yum !!!

Waiting for Guacamole'

Is there some type of 'Crochet Anonymous' ?



A support group for 'Yarn-Addicted' ?




I am not being facetious or snarky...

Because M.Y. W.O.R.D. I have dove into the deep end of Touch and Texture and Colour and Silky versus Fleecy and Velvety and that rich feeling of having in your hands a Simple thing of Beauty...




Knowing that with a bit of Thoughtful attention and Contemplation- it will become an even More Intricate Thing of Beauty...

Guess that I have been Captured by the Elegance of these Twisted Threads...

Have begun my next Project...





'Lucys Garden' is what she has been christened...






Pattern discovered on the engrossing Attic 24. Where Lucy brings forth the most Wondrous Things.





My thought is to follow her proven talent and choice of colour-ways...




But I must say that I may have wandered a bit into my Beloved Cath Kidston shades of Rose Red, Coral Rose, Bluebird Blue, Thin Yellow, Strawberry Pink, and Fresh Green.

The flowers progress.



And the numbers advance.




Forty-four with their band of leaves (twenty-two leafless blossoms at present)...







There has been a temporary interruption in production tho (he he)...

My 'Leaf' I am using for Green- is called Guacamole'. And as things are wont to do... I have run out !!




Two skeins are bought and paid for and should be presenting themselves Monday via USPS... If I can bear it that long !!

Kuchi continues to be a Boon Companion.




Keeping Little Flowers snuggled.




Such a darling Apprentice...




Oh, and we were paid a Visit today.




A couple of local Ladies strolled by for a delicate nibble at the salad bar.





They were about 8 feet off my Patio.





My door rattling caught their attention, however briefly, so the camera could catch their sweet faces...






These two does are last years babies. There is usually a third sister, but she must be shy today !!


Must go- I can hear my Yarn whispering my name ...
