Crochet baby blankets

Hi!

This time I've decided to show you my crochet baby blankets that I've made this summer.

I've been dreaming to crochet a baby blankets with motives for quite some time now but all the yarn tails that you have to put in each time have been stopping me all the time.

But after admiring all the lovely crochet blankets on Evasdoodlings 's IG I just couldn't wait any longer to start mine as well.

First one was pretty bright and colourful. This colour combo - turquoise, mint and chocolate - is my most favourite! So it was a pure pleasure to work on this blanket.
Here are some photos from my IG which shows you pieces of future blanket:

Mom's laced pullover

A few months ago my mom asked me to make her a laced pullover for spring and early summer. She already found some pattern in Russian knitting magazine and I just have to choose suitable yarn for this project.
I was hoping to find some blend with 1) cotton or 2) vicose (rayon) or 3) bamboo as these fibers are perfect for summer knitting.
I made three swatches and somehow the winner was Viscose/acrylic 60/40 blend - Mallorca from Ice Yarns. I have to say that I was pretty sure that Acrylic will make this yarn awful. But.... The yarn is really good and soft, nice to skin and pretty cold because of rayon (perfect for hot days). I like it so much that I also making myself a jacket with it :)

...and we'll be on the clouds

Hi!

Yesterday I found an awesome bowls on Etsy in the shape of cloud. Of course, they are in my favs now :)

And then I decided to look around my favs for any other cloud-items and I found out that I have a few amazing cloud-themed things. So today's theme is "sky".
Take your seat comfortably and enjoy :)

A big white piece of warm

Hi there!

A few days ago I finished white knitted scarf with cable across all lenght of the scarf.
I like it so much that I kind of sad that I live in California - it's not necessary here :)
This scarf made of baby soft 100% Acrylic yarn and it is quite light and airy, but at the same time it's warm and cozy.
This scarf is 7 inches wide and 75 inches long. A big piece of warm:)
