So here it is... my summer doily crochet blanket! What do you think? Very granny chic is it not? :)
The pattern is anya from goodknits. It is written very well and easy to follow. I highly recommend her patterns.
I decided I wanted a super colorful doily, I love traditional white doilies, but I really wanted to make it as modern as possible. I used Hobby Lobby's "I love this yarn" in a variety of colors. If you have never tried it, it is a wonderful acrylic. It is soft but it still feels sturdy and that it won't break at the slightest snag. You can't beat the price at $3.99 for 355 yards and many a times they have it on sale. I will definitely be using it again!
I'm thinking up next should be some smaller projects. I'm a little blanketed out for now (2 blankets in 18 days!Phew), but I love it!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Makes me happy just to see it so imagine how much happier it would make me to own it. Just beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is just beautiful. I finally bought my first Hobby Lobby yarn but haven't decided what to make with it. I might just have to give your blanket a try ! (I actually drove an hour to go to a new Hobby Lobby as that is the nearest one to where I live. It was worth the trip!!)
ReplyDeleteI liked your blanket soooo much I had to go buy the pattern !! Can't wait to get started !!
ReplyDeleteQue explosion de colores!!espectacular, me encanta
ReplyDeleteI just love your Anya! Your colourful version is beautiful. I haven't purchased the pattern yet, but I note it suggests 10 ply yarn and a 6mm hook. Is that what you used? What size is your finished article. Thanks, Jodie
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie! Yes I followed the pattern suggestions exactly and used a 10ply yarn with a 6mm hook :) The finished piece is 40 inches in diameter. Perfect lap blanket!
