Now this one is beautiful

My cousin's wife contacted me and asked if I would make a baby blanket for a new baby joining the family soon. We found a beautiful pattern by Asher Blu Designs. I think it's one I will be making several of.

I loved it so much that I made one using left over yarns. I had enough yarns to create the base. It's surprisingly lovely, but I want it larger to be at least large enough for a lapghan. I need 4-5 ounces of three different colors preferably variegated.

So, now I've put this one aside. I had a One Pound skein of pink. I thought this blanket might look nice in pink with a white trim. This one is for sale! Contact me if you are interested. It's about 36" square. $65

I need to sell several items this summer so that I can pay my annual blog fee of around $100. Whatever you need coming up please let me know. Anything ordered and paid for by August 15th will receive 10% off. Anything over $75 will be postage free!

I'm thinking it might be good to get a head start on football or Christmas.
So order your stadium blankets $150... NOTE: I have green on hand so I could get right to the Green Bay one. :)

I'm open to trying other logos beside these.

Or we could even get a head start on Christmas Stockings. Order one for $25 or two complimenting stockings for $45 plus postage. Comes with the holly sprig. Add $5 for monogramming.

Take a look at the other items in previous posts for more ideas. Or come up with your own ideas and I will work out the details with you!

Happy Summer!

Spring crochet projects

I stay quite busy crocheting these days. Spent most of April working on a King size Packer blanket. Wow! Didn't think when I agreed to do it how large and heavy it would get. I ended up crocheting it in sections and then whip stitching the pieces together. Still had to man-handle the whole thing doing the edging, but it turned out pretty nice.

My own pattern. The logo came from E-How.com 

When I got the logo part finished, I thought that part might look good as an afghan at the foot of the bed. May try some like that.

After I posted my niece's Round Ripple blanket last month, I was contacted to make another one like that in blue. It was fun to find the blues to put together. I found this pattern on Ravelry.com but made my own pattern of colors.

How to you like my new Ribbon tag for creation identity?

Now I am working on a gorgeous baby blanket requested by a family member. This Brooklyn Baby Blanket pattern was created by Asher Blu Designs. I have been wanting to try a corner to corner blanket sometime. This is my first. I think I like it.

I was contacted this week about making a cancer survivor blanket. That should be really nice. Stay tuned to see what we come up with for that.

And now I have two family weddings coming up in the fall that I need to make something for! :)  Not complaining though.

Well, the stitching goes on making Legacy Gifts. What do you need me to make for you?

Itching for Stitching!
