I had blocked my squares for my Peach Blossom blanket last week and I did about 40 variations on the layout and after many changes I think I've decided on a random layout. I tried squares, lines, and ended up with this..
I think I'm happy with it..lol
Then I knew I wanted to do a lacy border and I then I ran across Cypress Textiles Celtic Lace Join. It looked so perfect so and would add a few inches so now my blocks will look like this..
So I'm going to be needing some more yarn and it will take a bit longer than I had originally planned. It really gives it the extra elements I was looking for. Hopefully it won't take me as long to work out a boarder. I'm still going for lacy but with the other colors too.
I did manage to finally get my veggie's completed and a picture taken so that I could get it posted to my Etsy Shop. I.m hoping to do a bit better about getting things posted on there this year, For some reason the listing is really hard for me mentally..lol
I also managed to get a few rows in on the rainbow baby ripple. Just stating the next color block.
I said I wasn't going to start another project until one gets done, BUT my brain was fuzzy with all of the posting and pictures so I went with a simple I don't have to think about it project, of which consists of granny squares and stripes. I'll have an update next week on that.
The A to Z Challenge is almost over and I've actually managed to stay ahead and I'm hoping to have all of the posts completed be early in the week. Now if I could just finish craft projects as quickly I'd be great!
Have a very crafty week! Be sure to check out the other Year of Project posts too!
I love the lace on the blocks. It really makes the center blossom more.
ReplyDeleteThose veggies are cute. I am sure they will sell quickly.
Baby ripple is growing nicely. I do like those colors.
I loved the simple blocks before but once I did the first one I knew that was what I wanted. It only took me a couple of days to figure it out..lol
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Wow! Your veggies look amazing! The Rainbow Baby Ripple is looking good. And boy, I can't wait 'till the Peach Blossom blanket comes together. I'm kind of new to the joining squares thing and deciding on a join and border seems the hardest part to me (unless I just go with what a designer has suggested). I think a lacy border with these squares, in the colors you've chosen, will be perfect, I must say.
ReplyDeleteThanks the veggies are always so much fun and I'm ready for gardening, so it's a bit of a jump on the season..
DeleteI can't wait for the Peach Blossom blanket to come together too! I'm hoping to have it done before they blossom again. I really wanted it to be different and I'm hoping adding the lacey elements will be what I was looking for. Fingers crossed!
All of your projects give me hope that spring and summer are coming. yayayayayay
