Something to brighten your day

Hopefully this blanket will bring a little sunshine to your Friday!

 

I'm always happy when I finish up a project, but my mind is also racing towards the next. I wish my hands could work as fast as my brain sometimes. While searching for inspiration for this afghan, I came across a cute little girl's dress (also Lilly Pulitzer) that I'm going to use as my next muse. I already see the finished blanket. Still thinking spring over here at tillie tulip...

The home stretch...

Some new photos of my custom afghan. I think the colors look very nice together, and the border really adds a lovely touch. Now I "just" have to weave in a hundred tails.

Guess what I'll be doing while watching the Superbowl...

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Finishing up a new granny square blanket

This one is a custom order. It's a gift for a new mom. My customer asked to create something to work with her friend's nursery colors. She has the cutest bedding set from The Land of Nod:

These are some some photos of the afghan in progress. I hope she likes it! Check back to see the finished piece!

Pinked out - now what?

Actually, I never get sick of pink. Not that I'm a girlie-girl, I just think pink, and all the different shades and hues, is a very pretty color. If you'd like to see more photos of the finished blanket, here's a link to my listing:

Have a wonderful night!

Note: This pattern is the same as the yellow and white daisy blanket. It is from a book I mention here.

Feeling pink...almost done...

I think I'll add another row or two and then edge it. Not sure if I will add a scalloped edge or simple one since the flowers are so pretty and already decorative. My 3 year old daughter wants one too.

Little boy blue - A work in progress

I'm also finishing up a blanket for a new little baby named Adam. I'm using Lion Brand's Baby's First for this one. I love this yarn. It's super soft, chunky - but not too chunky - and a cotton/acrylic blend. The colors are very sweet too. Here I'm using splish splash and bean stalk (even the names are cute).

I'm going to edge it in the two colors when I finally finish this up, so check back later...
