Autumn Granny Rose Pillow I

My friend "D" has a birthday next month.
Once she told me how to figure out the colors she loved,
she said "Think Fall".

This is the beginning of a pillow for her birthday:
 This "Spring" colors gal has been thinking of these "Autumn" colors:

Stylecraft yarn in Saffron, Gold, and Copper.
With an "F" hook 3.75 mm.

The pillow will be 3 x 3 for a square.
(three of each color)
It will fit perfect over the little IKEA pillow I like so much.
I'll crochet something funky and different for the back.

Fall is coming...
 ...and so are more roses inspired by the Autumn colors:
An IKEA pillow will be the inside.

Yarn is:
Stylecraft Special DK in:
Saffron, Copper, Gold
Khaki, Meadow
Parchment, Mocha
Yarn can be found at Wool Warehouse by clicking here.

Hook is:
"F" or 3.75 mm

Pattern is:
Granny Rose is the pattern for the front and can be found 
here                     or                     here.

Happy forthcoming colors of the Season!

Super Hero Colored Blanket Done!

Finally finished:
An afghan for our grandson that loves super heroes!
 It's the Puffy NOLA Sunset Afghan in Super Hero Colors!
Pattern found here.


And the pattern looks like this too:

I used Stylecraft Special DK yarn on this one, as well.
The yarn can be found at Wool Warehouse.
A single strand instead of doubling up the yarn as shown in the pattern.
Our Grandson lives in California and there was no need for a heavier blanket. ;-)
(I'm not sure a heavy blanket is needed in NOLA, either - at least not now!)
 Which super hero colors do you see?

A row of bobbles was added to the black border too.



In hopes all is well with all of you!

Ombre Mitered Dishcloth

Yes, more mitered dishcloths:

This time some cotton stash-busting resulted in this:
 Very simple.
Very fast.
 Pattern can be purchased here.

But work in both loops and change colors as per your preference.

Handy loop to hang off faucet.
Makes a nice gift with an aloe vera plant. :-)
 Or just by themselves:

Happy Crocheting!
Happy Gift Giving!
