Granny Squares napkin box cover


Hi all! It’s been weeks since I last posted. As you noticed I have change my header and I love it! I have been crocheting a lot but too lazy to take photo or post in here. Anyways, I am so excited because I am going to visit my family in the Philippines this month! It’ll be fun seeing them again :-)

I crocheted this granny square Kleenix box cover last month.  It was made of 8 blocks of granny squares and few rounds of double crochet. I just got the idea when I bought a box of Kleenix. I did not want just a brown box in my table .So, I came up with the idea of crocheting granny squares.I will try to make a tutorial of this cute napkin box cover soon. Now here is may tada! 


HAVE A GREAT DAY!

The FO

Hi all!

Yesterday, my best friend received the baby blanket and baby boots that I have mailed to her. I was so happy to see the photos that she has uploaded on Face book! Her baby girl is so adorable with the baby boots I made for her, I am so proud of myself. ^_^

This year, I will try to do some tutorials for a change. My next post will be tutorial on crochet stuff. Patterns that I have created or stuff that I made that did not look in a pattern book or magazine. Patterns that I have worked on last year and worth sharing  I hope this will be interesting for you and worth trying. I will try my best to show the tutorials clearly. Maybe, I will add some photos during the tutorials.

By the way, this is the giant granny square that I was working on last year. I wanted to use Eileen from crochet attic’s idea for the border but I run out yarns and decided to end the giant square with two rounds of double crochet using red and blue yarns. Anyways, THANK YOU EILEEN!

I end up of 50 rounds for this granny and 2 double crochet borders.

So, I am pleased to present my giant granny square! TADA!!


 I hope everyone had a great Christmas and new year and I am wishing you another good year of hooking! Thank you for visiting my blog!

Giant granny square


Hi all! I hope you all had fabulous weekend. For Americans we had our four day weekend because of the Veterans Day. Anyways, I started my granny square last week after a couple of weeks of thinking of color combo from my yarn stash. Then, I found myself doing granny square. Well, it work out good because I got to use my yarns that are in different colors and some left over from previous projects. Right now I am on 42nd rows and still going. I am thinking to stop on the 50th rows or 60. Next will be thinking again! For border! LOL! I need to do some thinking in few days. What do you think will be the best border for this granny square? Please help me T_T ……….
 




Do you have Unfinished object?  While cleaning my boxes I found few unfinished objects and found 10 African flowers. Then, I stopped cleaning and started crocheting and come up with these cute African flowers bag. Of course, I lined the bag.




To end this entry, the red bag I made for my mother in law for Christmas. I added cheerful flower from Teresa’s video on YouTube.

I am wishing everyone a good day! and happy hooking!
