2024 ~ A Year of Crochet

 2024 was the year I renewed my love of crochet.

It started with this spring blanket

which was a crochet along on TikTok.

This is Nutmeg's favorite blanket,

although she happily snuggles in whatever 

I am currently working on.

Then I started the summer crochet along blanket.

I spent the summer in my adirondack rocker on the back porch 

and made this long summer shawl in cotton yarn.

This probably my personal favorite. 

I added a long fringe to this one. 

I enjoyed these colors and stitches so much

 that I made a second blanket in acrylic worsted weight yarn

 and gifted it to one of my sons for his reading room. 

I had some leftover yarn so I made this baby/throw size blanket 

as a donation to a silent auction fundraiser for a local youth camp. 

Then I sat in my porch rocker as summer waned in September

 and made this autumn star blanket.

This is the 6 Day Star Blanket by Betty McKnit

although I did not complete it in six days.

It took me three weeks but I also started a new crochet along blanket.

I completed this Halloween blanket in time for the witching hour. 

In November I started this Christmas themed blanket 

on my own and designed it as I crocheted.

I call this my "Ugly Christmas Sweater Blanket." 

My kitties and I are enjoying the soft and snuggly blankets

and are starting a new year of crochet. 

My sewing machine has mostly been sitting idle.

I do hope to finish a quilt project of two this year.

May you and yours have a happy, healthy, prosperous 2025!
