I have spent almost all day crocheting today. All but a couple hours to eat and blog/browse a bit. In addition to the rasta hat and cabled cowl, I just completed the baby blanket too! Now all I need to do is iron it and possibly weave some ribbon through those open stitches (haven't decided about that yet). Whatcha think?
I had it laid out, went to grab the camera, and Izzie assumed it was for her to lay on
I think a more contrasting color would be the solution, but it is still beautiful as it is right now.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the ribbon, I think it would look great weaved in.
You are just a busy bee!
I vote for the ribbon too!
ReplyDeleteDo you like to embroider? I'd embroider around the letters in a high contrast color to make them pop!
ReplyDeleteWow Ashley you are so quick! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteHi Ash! I agree with CT's suggestion - it'd be awesome to get the letters to pop out a bit more.
ReplyDeleteAre we still on for Friday late morning - you, me and the pups?
Also, the 6 hours of ballet are the ones I registered for in the Fall. So excited! I love registering (I'm a nerd.). :)
How cute! I love the hearts!
ReplyDeleteWow, very cool!!! I saw that you knit too. I started about two years ago but haven't had much time lately. I am hoping to pick back up in the fall. I am excited to see more of your creations.
ReplyDelete:D glad to be of help! the backstitch is really easy and fast to make, and depending on the thread you can make it as delicate or as bold as you like.. I'd use a purple or lavender, and check this link for a quick tutorial

Thank you so much! Just ran to the store and bought a pretty purple with purple ribbon to match. I'll be sure to show you when it's complete.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry it didn't turn out! but it is a beautiful blanket just the same!
ReplyDeleteAshley! What an awesome idea! Did you get this pattern on Ravelry?
