Bring The Needle Down has a Facebook page now! My Mother suggested this expansion, can't believe I had not thought of it before! So you can find me at this link:

Hopefully we can get more people visiting the blog, maybe it will inspire them to make things too! If you have any currant projects that you would like to show me, please post your photos in the comment box, via Blogger or Facebook. Thank you so much!
Here are two Project Linus blankets that I made, using the Lion Brand "Jonah's Baby Throw" Pattern, which is the standard pattern I use for my baby blankets. The first blue one was made entirely from Lion Brand Pound Of Love yarn. 32x32. Pound Of Love is great.
The second one was made from Lion Brand and Caron yarns. You can see the Caron brand in the center, in mint. I really like this yarn because it has a really nice shine to it. When I put it on a border, it reminds me of those blanket edges from "The Brady Bunch". Not crochet though. Fabric. If you look in one of the upperhand corners, you will see a tiny hat! I whipped that up at my Aunt and Uncle's house!
Project Linus is such an amazing organization to be part of. You get to help so many kids, with love in every stitch!
The black infinity scarf I am holding is for my Grandma. I hope to get it to her by the end of August. You can find the pattern right here:

Last but not least, a finger knitted necklace! My Mom taught me finger knitting when I was younger, but I sort of gave it up- after all, what on Earth does one do with those long chains? However, the other day, I found this video on YouTube! Really quick and easy. To give it a little spice, I learned how to make a large rose (see video) and I stitched that on there too. Sorry if this photo is a little blurry, my sister and I were in a bit of a hurry!
What's next? I have a scarf in the works, a blanket, and hopefully some superhero capes for my cousin's dogs. What is next for you?
I'm still working on my infinity scarf. We've been on vacation and I haven't had a chance to sit down to crochet or knit. I see yov've been busy -- love your baby blankets!
ReplyDeleteThank you Deborah! :) Hope you enjoyed your vacation. Infinity scarves take a little time, but are very worth it!
DeleteI hope you don't mind me saying that once again, you look so cute in your photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm not on Facebook anymore, but I of course will continue to follow your blog.
I just purchased a few skeins of Caron yarn for the first time. Very nice shine indeed. And so soft! In the near future I'll be using one of them, in lavender blue, for a kerchief to wear over my hair.
When I get around to making a baby blanket, I, too, will be using Lion Brand's Pound of Love and donating it to a charity. I picked light green as a unisex color. I'll definitely keep Project Linus in mind.
Keep up the good work!
I don't mind, and thank you kindly! Those sound like lovely projects and I look forward to seeing them on your blog! Lavender is such a lovely color indeed. And yes, Project Linus appreciates all the blankets that people donate! It's a great organization! :)
