The Crafting for Life workshop is coming up on March 17 in Oceanside, and I'm going to teach people to make my fleece blankets with crocheted edgings. The workshop will benefit the Pregnancy Resource Center. I've gotten several pieces of fleece together and tomorrow I'll work on my favorite part--matching yarn to the fabric.
Here is a simple edging for a boy's blanket.
This is one of my favorites--ice cream cones. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the ice cream fabric that inspired it again.
This is the blanket I entered in the Joann's contest last year. I didn't win, but I still like my blanket.
While on the Coaster, I'm going to be working on a few baby hats to bring to the workshop. I have a pattern that I found last year for a pumpkin hat. It turned out to be very versatile. I've adapted it to make a strawberry and some flowers. Today, I made a daisy hat which came out pretty well. I'll post that picture next time.
Hi Tina! This is great! The ice cream stitch is adorable.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing, my Mom recently got me some Penn State fleece and I was thinking about your baby blankets. Does the crotchet needle go through the fleece or do you punch holes first?
Tina, I love your blog, your are such an inpiration to me that I am so glad now to have a place to look at all the pretties you make. Your icecream cone edging is wonderful. I am going to try and make those cute little baby hats you were working on at yarning, they were too adorable witht he flowers on top. Keep inspiring us, we love it!
