Knitting Project #2

Baby Blanket

My step sister is pregnant with a bouncing baby boy! She's due in February so I would like to create a blanket for her soon to be son. It will be a simple design with two colours. Coffee brown and nature green.

Knitting Project #1

Since I had to place my Crochet Project #1 on hold due to running out of yarn, I began a new project. Only this time, in knitting!

Every year I like to make scarves for people to wear for the holidays. I usually give them as Christmas gifts. I try not to make them fancy or anything unless they are for someone special. However this scarf that I am making is not for someone special, I think I may donate it to charity for those who don't have a scarf to wear during the cold weather.

My Pattern:

Cast on 20 stitches.

Knit to the end.

Repeat until cast off.

Scarf Complete!

Crochet Project #1

Blue Blanket for Twin Size Bed

  There are a few people who think that the craft of crochet, is something only elders do. Though of course that information is only partially correct, considering very many of the younger population from age six and up have begun the craft. It is also being taught in schools, as well as comunitee group services.

Though that is not my point here, I am here to tell you about the recent project I brought upon myself. I started this blanket around April 14th of this year (2012), and am currently just over half complete.

My Pattern:

-> Create the slip knot/starting point, chain 202.

-> First row: Double crochet from the second chain closest to the hook, repeat to the end. Turn

-> Second row: Double crochet from the second chain closest to the hook, repeat to the end. Turn.

-> Continue to desired length.

-> For last four rows: Single crochet from the second chain closest to the hook, repeat to the end. Tie off.

*To tie off: Cut yarn/material 6-12 inches from the hook, pull the yarn/material through last chain tightly. Weave hanging thread through last row. Do the same for the beginning hanging thread, only weave through first row*

I will edit this post with pictures when my project is complete! More projects to come, so please stay tuned! <3
