To End 2016

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas in my house without a crochet tree ornament. This year I made 'Candy Canes' as gifts.

My last 2 crochet makes for 2016.... a cushion for my sister's birthday, to match her blanket I made last year......and a cushion for my Mum's birthday (finished New Years Eve ready for New Years Day).

Both 'Attic 24 Blooming Flower Cushion' (click to link to pattern)

2016 Roundup of Makes

Moogly CAL 2015 all finished and taking pride of place in my newly decorated Bedroom, along with matching cushion.

Cushion Pattern is Attic 24 'Blooming Flower Cushion' 

Here also is my Attic 24 'Jolly Chunky Bag'  

 

I Made several birthday presents during 2016. including a cushion for my Mum and a blanket for my sister's 40th birthday.

 The pattern for this was adapted from a blanket

pattern in 'Simply Crochet' issue no. 34 called 'Heart to Heart' by Cecile Balladino.

This blanket is made from a mix of ideas. The centre square is  Block #19 from the Moogly 2015 CAL 'Dream Circle by Carolyn Christmas' which I then added rounds to make larger. The smaller boarder squares are from Nana's Crochet Creations 'Granny Wheel' square

Lily Pond Blanket CAL

I was just preparing to post a round up of crochet projects from 2016 and realised I have not shared my finished Lily Pond Blanket....so here it is in all it's glory.

I am extremely pleased with how the blanket turned out and thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the cal along with others.

The pattern is still available on Ravelry (click to follow link)
