YOP4: Week 52. So long, farewell, year 4

Another year gone.

I am so proud that I finished my hook challenge. Although I switched out patterns on a weekly basis. Year 5’s hook challenge has a theme. I hope that will keep me from switching out patterns.

The Mario blanket was made in 5 months. It was fun to make all those squares but it may be a while before I make another one willingly 🙂

YOP 4 : week 45 and 15 in 2015

Only a few week to go and only a few projects to make!!

I made more squares for the Bruins Blanket

 

All yellow are done and just a few 6 inch squares are left that make the B ( top pic)

My Ladybug flag is finished. I love how it turned out! I have to make another ladybug body to cover the sewing on the other side.

And while I have your attention…. Is anyone else making the Lily Pond Blanket ?

Block 2

Block 3.. so far. 

I need to buy more skeins to complete block 1.

YOP4 week 44

I worked on a few things this week…. were they all part of my YOP list? Sorta 🙂

Mostly stash busting a few projects and and 15 in 2015 project. ( paid patterns )

I am inlove with the African flower hex pattern by Heidi Bears

With these ( and many more ) I may make a bag.

( I used my Hermione Granger  wand G crochet hook by Puka Pey )

Soon this will be a lady bug garden flag ( Pattern by Snappy Tots )

This rug is actually on my YOP list!

I needed a rug for my porch for my feet. Concrete sucks. This is also a stash bust. I had a really big skein of this orange and pink bulky yarn that I had no idea what to make with. This took me about an hour to make with my N hook. Its not the best looking thing but it works 🙂

YOP4 week 38

I can’t wait until for year 5… I have so many ideas for my hook challenge 🙂 I will post more about that in a few weeks because I want the A year of projects ravelry group to join in too.

Now for my updates…. As I mentioned in my WIP post , I have been searching for a K hook size project that I loved. I finally found one! I was set on just making curtains for my porch but realizing I have 7 windows , I decided on something else.

I love this bag. Pattern is by Jennette Reid .

My Boston Bruin blanket is coming out well… and fast. I’m almost done. I think after I make the rest of the yellow squares I will stop for a few months. Its starting to warm up here so I won’t need it.

I made all these squares over the past few days.

4 more 6 rnd squares done. Now all 8 are done.

All 38 2 rnd squares are finished. aw so cute..

1 of 1 – four rnd square.

I used one skein of yarn for all these squares ! not bad.
