February Crafty Goodness

At first I thought February was going to be a slow month of projects but when I looked through my photos I realized I completed more than I thought.

This first afghan is one I made for hubby's office.  Quite often in the afternoons I will crochet in his office while he is on work phone calls.  His office is rather drafty and I would get chilled.  Well, I solved that problem!  This pattern came from the February issue of Crochet World magazine,  I used Impeccable yarn from Michael's.  

This next project is a doily that I made for my mom for Valentine's Day.  She wanted a doily to put on the back of her maroon recliner and I thought this pink yarn went really well.  I only make a doily about once every year because these older eyes have a hard time seeing those little stitches when using crochet thread.  This pattern also came from the February issue of Crochet World Magazine.

This project was a long time in the making!  It is made with I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby.  It is a scrap blanket of sorts.  When the virus hit and HL closed down I went to their web sight and bought 1 skein of each of the variegated yarns they still had available.  I made tons of potholders and then I made this blanket with all of the yarn that I didn't use.  You can only give away so many potholders!  I used a second gray yarn with each variegated.  I was making great progress and then I discovered that I was losing a stitch every row.  I frogged that and started over.  Whew!  I finally finished 2 years later!

This is one of 4 baby blankets that I am making.  I know 2 people that are expecting that don't know whether they are having pink or blue.  I will make 2 of each and donate the unused ones to the church for baby gifts. 

Last but not least, a Cricut project.  Every month I have made a boho rainbow t-shirt for my teacher-daughter.  Here is February's creation.  The design came from Design Bundles.net and I used HTVront vinyl.
