I have been busy crocheting a blankie for my Granddaughter(16yrs lol) I made a few blankets when they were small and over the years but she asked if I would make one in pinks especially hot pink-so here it is-the hook I have had for absolute years and all the wool was bought from Home Bargains. Now eldest Granddaughter has asked for one for her dog so now halfway through that one too. It measures 30" square.

Lovely blanket Carol…years since I crocheted but I really did enjoy it xxxx
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty. Great that young people are enjoying hand crafted gifts. Thanks for joining AYLI challenge. Elaine
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Carol, so bright and beautiful- had to smile that now you're making one for the dog! I have recently taught myself to crochet and have started making a granny square blanket- might be a while before I finish it as it's for a king size bed but I'm finding the process very relaxing- only one hook to lose down the back of the sofa, not 2 needles!

It's just beautiful but now you will be inundated with requests lol. I am currently crocheting up all my left over wool into blankets of many colours for our local charity shop.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet and beautiful blanket Carol..........gr karin
ReplyDeleteAwww, I think that's so sweet that your granddaughters asked for blankies from Grandma! You are loved and needed, and you do beautiful work! My mom made countless lap blankets like this for nursing home patients, and eventually I got one, too. Yes, I cherish it. She's been gone many years.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing to make. I am sure she will treasure it for years xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blankie Carol, love the colours, my Grandma made all my babies a blanket when born and my daughter had one made for her doll too and called it gog gog she carried the thing for years and years and then her cabbage patch ended up with it, but when no one was looking she took it back..lol..

ReplyDeleteYou're also good at crocheting, Carol, a very beautiful blanket in these bright colors 🤩
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful Carol! I never learned how to crochet because I wouldn't sit down & learn when my aunt tried to teach me a long time ago. Big mistake on my part!
ReplyDeleteAmazing blanket, Carol. And how lovely colors!!! I am your dranddaughter will love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat hot pink blankie is an absolute joy—so vibrant and full of personality, just like a loving hug woven with every stitch. I can imagine your granddaughter’s delight at receiving something so perfectly tailored to her wish! And how sweet that the dog is next in line for a snuggly creation—this project clearly comes with an extra dose of love and thoughtfulness. The 30" size is ideal for cozy comfort, and it’s amazing that you made it all with long-treasured tools and bargain finds. Pure crafting magic!
