Thankfully it came out better than my picture taking abilities!
I'm in for a quick project for my next start and I have to work on a few that I've got in progress.
Couple of more baby projects in the works, a black cat hat for friends of our daughter who are expecting boy and are HUGE Carolina Panther fans. Dad has a running bet/fear that the baby will be born on the first home game of the season..lol. So I thought a cat hat in panther colors would go over great as well as be a bit of fun. Mom is 26 and due in September, really active still, in fact she ran a 5k a week ago, while I'm lucky to get the yard mowed and trimmed in one weekend. I'm afraid my age is showing! It's strange to think these kids that bickered on the swings and made mud pies will be swinging with their own babies soon,,,time certainly flies.
In that black hole that is pintrest I found this super cute square that I'll have to work into the next baby blanket.
I think I'd use it like my pink and green squares in progress. I haven't made much progress on those but I'm working on granny stitches around the connected center squares and then once it reaches a certain size I'll add another round of squares and then a boarder. Kinda like a simple Wendy blanket. Which of course is on my wish list!
As far as what's taking up all of my time this week it's still figs, this weekend was Fig Strawberry and Fig Marmalade.
I need to start some plants for the fall garden but it's way too hot to start anything outside, so I'm digging into the stash for the next project!
Have a great week and check out more ideas and updates here, or join us on our Year of Projects journey.
The owl is adorable. I am sure the baby will look so cute. Loving that square you found.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter wanted to know why she didn't have something like the owl when she was little. I told her we just wrapped babies back then in handcrafted blankets. Cute has come a long way.lol
DeleteOh the owl is so awesome! That is a lovely square, Pintrest is such a great place to find squares.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It seems like that square started off as a pot holder, that's why I love Crochet so many ways to use the same stitches to make something different!
DeleteWhat a cute little owl outfit and that square is gorgeous. It would make a beautiful baby blanket.
ReplyDeleteYes time flies doesn't it. The owl is perfect, and yummy looking jam too. I use to think crochet was just granny squares, but after joining this year of projects all you wonderful crocheters are giving me the itch to get my hooks out and try some new and exciting patterns. (like I don't have enough on my list, but I think crocheting might be perfect for all the airplane travel I have coming up in my future.
ReplyDeleteStrawberry and fig marmalade sounds like heaven! The owl is splendid, well done.

ReplyDeleteYou know I always freak out a little inside when I see an owl but I know it is silly when it is something as cute as your project. There was an incident when I was a kid and I've been afraid of them ever since. Anyway, I just love your little square. It is so cute! I really wish I could grab some of your jam too. Yummmmm!
