Crochet Call the Midwife Newborn Baby Blanket
Hi Everyone! It seems like everyone I know is having a baby so this week I want to share with you the Call the Midwife Newborn Baby Blanket Pattern that was designed by Rebecca of Little Monkey’s Crochet. Before I started this blanket I had never watched the TV show, but had always heard good things about it. I was definitely missing out because once I started watching it I couldn’t stop! I completed the blanket while watching the show and noticed it in many of the episodes of the show. This pattern is easy to follow and you can make it as long or wide as you want. I…

Knitted Scarf Pattern (Contrasting Colours)
Hi Everyone! This week I want to share the pattern for the second knitted scarf I made in the UK during my vacation. This one isn’t an infinity scarf like the previous pattern, but it is worked up quickly and if you like the look of the scarf you can sew the ends together to make an infinity scarf. I used the same needles and yarn for this project because I like how quickly I can finish knitting it. Here’s the Pattern: Materials 10.0 mm (Size 15) Needles 2 Skeins of Super Bulky Yarn (I used Loops and Threads in Mushroom and Moss Green) (82 metres ((90) yards) each) Scissors…

Knitted Infinity Scarf Pattern
Hi Everyone! Last week I shared some photos of the scarves I knitted while I was over in the UK. This week I want to share with you the pattern for the purple infinity scarf. This is a very simple pattern that you can knit up for a last minute present. I used large needles and thick yarn to accomplish this and it turned out really soft. I am usually a very slow knitter so this kind of knitting project was perfect for me. Let’s get started. Materials 10.0 mm (Size 15) Circular Needles 2 Skeins of Super Bulky Yarn (I used Loops and Threads Cozy Wool in Velvet) Scissors…

Crochet Temperature Blanket
Hi Everyone! In today’s post I wanted to share with you my year long project that I started back in February. I was inspired by The Crochet Crowd’s project of making a crochet temperature blanket. For my blanket I want to do the temperatures of each day in 2016. I am using Red Heart Super Saver, Loops and Thread, and Craft Smart yarns to keep the cost low, but I am also using some other brands if I have the colour already at home. I am using the temperature gauge on The Crochet Crowds website. This project is definitely taking a long time and since I started one month into…

Dover, Oxford & Royal Leamington Spa
Hi Everyone! This week I won’t be sharing any new patterns since I am away on holiday in the UK! I am still working on some projects though so stay tuned! So far I have been to Dover, Oxford and Royal Leamington Spa. This trip started off with a 9 hour flight across the Atlantic Ocean that had a few spots of turbulence. I landed in the morning so we had plenty of time to get to our first stop in Dover. Once we arrived we explored the harbour outside our hotel and watched the ships move across the English Channel. The next day we took a hike on the…

Hello Everyone! This week’s blog post will feature a crochet pattern for baby mittens that I made using Loops and Thread’s Charisma Baby yarn in Coral. They had the yarn for sale at Michael’s so I decided to get some in different shades of pink and variegatedyarn. I am also working on a baby diaper cover that I will post about in a later post.

Fibi the Fox Lalylala Amigurumi Pattern
Hi Everyone! This week I want to share with you an amigurumi that I am very happy to have completed! It is the Fibi Fox Amigurumi that I made using Lalylala’s pattern. I have wanted to make one of these dolls for a really long time and am very glad I finally did! The pattern was pretty straight forward to follow and the final product turned out so cute! Even the little knitted scarf was enjoyable to make. I don’t usually make amigurumi and I always forget that they work up fairly quickly. The only problem I have in making them is crocheting with a smaller hook, but you get…

Corner to Corner (C2C)–Top Gear Blanket
Hi Everyone! I am finally posting my Corner to Corner (C2C) blanket that I completed a while back. I really enjoyed this project that Sarah from Repeat Crafter Me made me interested in. I also used the instructions from The Crochet Crowd’s website. I wanted to make The Stig from the car show Top Gear with some words on top so I used this perler bead pattern and made up the lettering sections of the blanket. I couldn’t find any graph paper when I was making this so I used lined paper and made my own graph paper! I think I was prouder of that than the blanket itself! I…
