Get more information about yarn amounts etc. on my Ravelry Page. I'll update this tonight.

I really wanted to jump around yelling it's finished, it's finished!!!! I fnished the blanket on Saturday, weaved in the ends, took photos, and called my mom to come pick it up since she was in town. I've never been so happy to give something I made to someone. She was very excited about it too :). She said she was going to have to go buy all new bedding for their guest bed so it matched... so cute.

64/365 - Gran's Garden Flower #25

Gran's Garden Flower #25 from the Gran's Garden e-book by Renate Kirkpatrick

Hook used: 4.5mm for the flower, H for the square

Colors Used: I love this yarn's Dark Raspberry, Linen, Antique Taupe, Antique White, Sungold, and Burnt Pumpkin.

This is definitely the tiniest flower of the bunch. I thought I did something wrong at first, but no, it's just a little thing. I stretched the heck out of him though and he looks best amonst his friends now.

I love mustard and brown together! This is the only flower in this book with those two together. Tomorrow is the last day of these squares! I'm hoping to finish the blanket by next weekend. I still have quite a few of the filler squares to finsih. We'll see how it goes :)

Hook used: 4.5mm for the flower, H for the square

Colors Used: I love this yarn's Dark Raspberry, Linen, Antique Taupe, Sungold, Cranberry, and Aubergine.

This flower is really different from all of the other flowers in this book. It has more of a 60's/70's flower vibe going for it, which I like. I could see a whole blanket made out of this square alone in a bunch of wild colors.  

I started working on the filler squares for the blanket I'm making out of these squares this weekend. The whole blanket will have 90 squares total so I have quite a few filler squares to make up the difference. I'm really excited though. It's going to be beautiful all put together!

Hook used: 4.5mm for the flower, H for the square

Colors Used: I love this yarn's Dark Raspberry, Linen, Antique Taupe, Antique White, Cranberry and Sungold.

This flower took FOREVER to make. There are a lot of rows involved. Each spiral is made with a Chain and a row of sc, each petal is made of rows of crochet as well which make it quite time consuming. The time it took was well worth it though, because the flower is beautiful!

I love all the levels on this one. It was very fun to make. I can't believe how fast these squares are passing by.

This is yesterday's make up post. I felt it was important to participate in the bloggers day of silence since I don't have the words to express how I feel about the tragedy in Japan.
