Patchwork Crochet Sampler Blanket ~ Repost

Hello! 

I am Nutmeg, Crochet Kitty Inspector!

If you have clicked on our blog from other social media 

because you are interested in how we made 

this pink and gray Patchwork Blanket,  

you will find the start of this blanket ... 

Patchwork Sampler Blanket ~ Started Here in 2022

The large squares were all made from the 

Afghan Crochet Sampler Crochet Along @ Inspired by Wren

Then we made smaller rectangular and square blocks to add to the fun.

All of these were free patterns that we found online 

and links made be found in posts that are labeled  " Squares Crochet Sampler" 

or "Patchwork Crochet."

We completed this

Patchwork Sampler Blanket Completed Here 

in May, 2022.

I do share is blanket with my sister kitties.  

We love this blanket.

We hope you will enjoy making and snuggling in your blanket, too.

Happy Crocheting! 

Scrappy Saturday ~ Yarn Scrap Style

 

Scrappy Saturday ~ Yarn Scrap Project

When I was quilting daily, I used to very often take a break on Saturdays and play with my fabric scraps for the day.  Since I have been sitting and stitching with my yarn instead of sewing at my machine, I am playing with my yarn scraps today. 

The yarn that is stitched in the bottom of the photo is from my current project.

The center of the scrap project is this sample swatch I made in the Honeycomb Tunisian Crochet stitch.  After making this I decided this color changing yarn was not well suited to this stitch and chose a different one for the shawl I am making for one of my friends.

I relegated a whole ball of this new yarn to the scrap pile after Nutmeg attacked it with her sharp teeth and claws as soon as I took it out of the plastic packaging

I have a video of this and Maestro also snagging my yarn at

The Scrapatch Cats on TikTok

where I have a very minimal presence,

just so I do not look like an anonymous lurker when I like and comment. 

Trying to gently pry the new ball of yarn away from the Nutmeg only made it worse.

My kitties say, "Not us!  See how angelic looking and helpful we are?"

Nutmeg loves to lay on lap on top of my current project. 

I started randomly adding borders to the sample swatch with the scrap ball of yarn and my regular crochet hook.

What am I making?

I am making a crocheted kitty blanket.

I surprised Maestro who was having a nap on the sofa near me 

and asked her to model it for size. 

I am hoping that if I make them blankets with my scrap yarn 

they may happily make these fuzzy while biscuit making 

instead of my larger crocheted blankets and shawls and scarves. 

So I am now adding more borders with the small gray and pink balls of yarn 

left from my ...

 Patchwork Crochet Sampler Throw

My kitties love scrappy projects as much as I do.

They are my purrrrfect scrapatch cats.

What are you working on today>?

Are you sewing and stitching scrappy?

Stitch Sew & Show ~ 2022 ~ Week 19 ~ Patchwork Crochet Sampler Throw

It s finished! 

 My Patchwork Crochet Sampler Throw ~ Started Here

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ 2022 ~ Week 19

My finished Patchwork Crochet Sampler Throw is 76" square.

When I started this project to revive and build my crochet skills,

 it was to be 20 squares for this

Crochet Sampler Crochet Along @ The Inspired Wren

It soon took a life of its own and I added setting rectangles

 and granny squares and my own border.

I will be adding "Patchwork Crochet Sampler Throw" 

and the hastag  #patchworkcrochet 

to all my posts for this to make them easier to find. 

This crochet throw is a nice size to snuggle under and share on windy days on our yard swing. 

This makes it a nice size for a topper for a queen size bed.

Folded, it makes a nice kitty size cushion. 

Nutmeg is happy to have tested it. 

My kitties and I have started a new yarn project inspired by these sea colors

which I will show you soon.

Maestro seems to think the cat needs to be out of the bag.

Katniss is still inspecting it though to be sure it is ready to share.

Nutmeg is all for testing it and keeping it under wraps,

as long is she may be the one wrapped.

More photos of this and my sea adventure soon!

What have you been working on this week, my friends?
