Crochet Time!

So I’ve been back in the crochet mood lately. Basically because I started a new throw blanket for my new apartment and my new color scheme, but then I realized I had an unfinished throw that I was working on last year. It was actually the same pattern as one I made last year. Since that throw was 99% done, I figured it would be poor form to leave it unfinished. Ta-da!greeeeen

So now that I’ve finished that, it’s on to the next project: a neutral throw for my new neutral living room. I picked a new crochet pattern from Lion Brand Yarn that is supposed to emulate the cable patterns in the knitting world. Here’s what it looks like so far:work in progress

Literally:

I’m making a throw blanket for myself.  I’ll be honest, I’m in love with it.  First of all, I’ve never made a blanket for myself, I rarely crochet things for myself besides a quick scarf or cowl here or there.  The perk of making a blanket is that once it gets to a certain size you can use it to keep warm while you work on it!

The yarn is from Michael’s, it’s their private brand: Loops & Threads.  The type is Cozy Wool in “Aster” and “Harvest.”  And I got he pattern from a small booklet by Bernat called “Around the Season Afghans” that I picked up in the store.

The pattern I’m using is for a different size yarn so I had to adjust for that, and I’m creating my own stripe pattern, so I’m adjusting for that too.  Stay tuned for the “after” picture.  Happy Friday!
