4 Blocks a Week – Week 6

I just flat out missed posting my blocks last week. I had too much to do and too little time. I am almost at that point again. Here I go trying to get back on track.

4 blocks a week- Week 6

I am concentrating on tiny squares this week. They are so sweet.

This rosette is just so cute. I bet it would make a beautiful baby blanket!

This one is quite a bit larger than the others but the flower in the middle is just sweet.

I need to run and I will talk to you later,

4 Blocks a Week Sampler Blanket- Week 5

This is week 5 but when I count the blocks for the sampler blanket there are only 18 in my bag. Two blocks have escaped. I need to take  minute and find them. Here is the next installment in the 4 blocks a Week. These are a variety of different styles from 100 Colorful Granny Squares to Crochet.

I have included affiliate links to Amazon and I will receive a small percentage of the any purchase you make.

The problem is right at the beginning of the square, as always. I guess the tv was too interesting or was it when one of the kids had huge questions. I did count louder but it didn’t seem to help! :0)4 Blocks a Week Sampler Blanket- Week 5

You can find last weeks blocks here!

I am incredibly late crocheting these and I must head to bed.

Talk to you later,

I can’t wait to start putting them all together. I think that I will need to join them all at the end as they are all different sizes.

They look quite beautiful all together and so very intricate and lacy. The book I am using is 100 Colorful Granny Squares to Crochet.

The weather this week promises to be frosty, a bit misty and possibly some snow. I am ready for to be snowed in for a couple of days. There is so much that I want to do. I am deeply into the Use Your Stash Challenge and I would dearly love a chance to sit and create. I have been working on it steadily and have finished a couple of projects already. One has been in the works since before Thanksgiving.

Our daughter is back a college and we are back into the routine of daily life. I am working on de-cluttering and cleaning. I have loads of laundry waiting to be completed and I already feel very productive this morning. Our son was up yesterday to take some photos of more of my Mom’s vintage stuff. I will be adding them to the shop after I write up descriptions and get them priced.

The dogs have been quiet today. They really do not want to get put out as it is a bit misty and cold. Daisy is getting pretty big and has passed up the leader of the pack, which is causing a struggle for power between the two. I am confident that they will work it out sooner or later. We really need to work on her training as I do not need the huge dog jumping up on people.

Here are the links if  you want to see week one and week two of the 4 blocks a week crochet sampler blanket.

See you later,

Wednesday squared: granny square 2

Here is my next square. I added the border around the edge to make it easier to stitch together. I am going to try to sew it together as I go.  We will see how that goes.

I am also going to try to use four of these in my sampler. So I need to stitch up the other three.  This square is also from Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs book by Edie Eckman. She has done such a great job of writing directions that I would look up the instructions in her book. Don’t you like the color combinations in this one? I do. I can’t wait to see what the other look like.

See you next week.
