Finding true love...

When I was little my Bubby and my mom taught me how to crochet. It has always been my dream to live up to making creations as beautiful as theirs! Since elementary school knitting and crocheting has always been a relaxing hobby for me to make hats, scarves, and blankets. However, crochet holds a special place in my heart as my favorite!

A couple years ago my mom inspired me to push myself out of my comfort zone of standard stitches to try a stripey blanket! It took me almost a year with starting and stopping every couple months but I finished it!

Yay!! All done!

This made me fall in love with crocheting on a new level or creativity! I loved picking out the color combinations and changing up the stitch type. This was a pattern from Not Your Average Crochet.

A friend of mine was pregnant with twins last winter and my mom proposed a brilliant idea! We decided that I would make a baby girl stripey blanket and she would make a baby boy one! This blanket was a fun journey knowing that it would keep a beautiful baby girl warm! The pattern is Fantasy Blanket. Here is the finished product:

I knew that this wouldn't be the last stripey blanket I would ever make but I also did not know when the next one would be!
