Hiya my friends! It’s been a bit since my last post but I’m back 🙂 I was rummaging through my files the other day and I was actually looking for some screenshots of something else when I found some photos of makes that I thought were lost!
I was so happy to find one in a particular, my choco/vanilla patchwork knitted blanket that I mentioned in this post. I remembered taking pics of it but I had no idea where to find them. Turns out, I saved them to my iCloud account along with these other photos.
Here’s the blurb about my blanket from that post:
I knitted several scarves with them including a large blanket I made by knitting quilt blocks using Lion Brand Hometown USA Aspen Tweed and Santa Fe Tweed yarns, one of my favorite yarns to play with. I forgotten how large my blanket was, but I remember it could cover a bed easily. I used “Aspen Tweed” for a light off white color and “Santa Fe Tweed” which is a darker brown for my quilt blocks and then after creating all the blocks, I knitted them altogether to complete the blanket.
So, here’s some pics of the blanket!
This blanket was so soft and I made it large enough for a chair. I’ve been thinking about re-creating this so if I do, I’ll share that!
Now, other makes I found in my archives are these, some are crochet newsboy hats
Here’s the lineup:
- Crochet Baby Girl Dresses. A few more that I found, I can’t remember how many in total I made. Many of these sold at our local indoor yard sale (pics below)
- Crochet purse/cell phone holder.
- Crochet ruffled scarf that was long enough to wrap around made with Red Heart Boutique yarn.
- Knitted Scarf. This was one of the first pieces I knitted with traditional needles.
- Blue crochet poncho. I added tassels to the edges.
- Crochet ombre super scarf.
- Crochet red wrap. I may have another photo posted but I had to include it again because I remember how much I loved making this wrap.
- Crochet ombre hat/scarf.
- Crochet pink floppy hat with matching purse. This was another piece I really enjoyed creating.
- Crochet newsboy hat (several poses). I added a flower to the side of the hat with a beautiful button.
- 4 Crochet elf hats. These were fun to do with pom poms on the ends.
- Crochet chevron pillow case cover.
- Crochet cable stitch headband. This was a fascinating piece to create. I had not done a lot of cable crocheting.
- Knitted men’s hat. I started learning to knit masculine hats for winter.
I added a few pics where I sold a bunch of my makes, the first photo was where I sold wraps and scarves at the local art center. The other photos are from a local indoor yard sale that is an annual event in our town.
It’s so fun looking at these photos again and remembering when I made these, it brings back many fond memories. And, what didn’t sell I donated to our local thrift store.
