Making this for my oldest daughter using Lucy's Neat Ripple Pattern and Bernat Satin yarn in Mai Tai, Sultana, Snow, and Aqua. She chose the colors and the stripe pattern. I'm pretty happy with it so far, though it is not as wide as I wanted. It is just about as wide as her twin bed. By the time I realized my mistake, I didn't feel like ripping it all back and starting over. So, it will be more of a snuggle down and watch a movie kinda blankie rather than snooze time blankie as was planned. Ah well..she loves it and thats all that matters.
I have a few other works in progress, but when I tried to take pictures of them Little Miss Hurricane ran off with some of the bits and pieces. One of my little projects is an amigurumi kitty for my oldest. I have all the parts made, but I'm stuck on the eyes. I have no safety eyes at the moment and I ran out of black buttons that are small enough to fit. I tried giving the kitty eyes like I did on the Panda for LMH, but they didn't look right. Any ideas anyone? The head is maybe an inch and a half or so around..I'd measure but I haven't found where LMH hid it yet...so they need to be fairly small. I have a lot of other buttons..in all sorts of colors, and some are the right size but I'm just not sure if they would look alright. The kitty is lavender in color if that helps. Will have to snap some pics tomorrow if I ever find poor kitties head.
Looks like I found a new blog! Awesome. I just had to say hi when I sa your version of Lucy's Ripple! I started mine when she mentioned a crochet along. I haven't loved the colors I chose but I love the yarn! Keep hookin!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! Sorry I haven't been posting..life got in the way. So much to do, so little time. I love Lucy's ripple, it is so easy and so relaxing. That said, I am about to start it over. The width, or lack thereof, was just to annoying to ignore. I finally sat down and measured it and it's only about 47 inches wide. Yeah..never start a big project while you have a cold. :p
