Knitting

Hello!

Today, I am knitting a baby blanket. Actually, I am hoping it to be a baby blanket because I haven't figured out how I will do the edges yet.

The pattern is called 'The Old Shale' ; after I figured out the pattern ,it is such a pleasure to knit that I do not want to leave my knitting at all!

And I decided that I like ripples A LOT!
I cannot wait to see how this blanket will turn out to be ( hopefully a very nice one ) because I LOVE the colour choice which happened accidentally. ( I am even considering turning it into a  blankie for my bed  ; would it be too much work?!)
I am off to buy more yarn for it now. Hope to be able to show you more of my new favourite soon ....

another blanket ta-dah!

hello!
I have to confess; I love love love making blankets. So here is another blanket:

I hope you all have a lovely week-end!

what I have been up to...

Hello and good day to you all!
I know I have been missing from the blogland for a long time . It is not that I am not working on my crochet projects, on the contrary a lot of crochet time I had , but I felt like cooking,baking,cleaning... -in other words- homemaking.
It must be the weather; I feel soooo homely. I just want to clean,do the laundry,hang them to dry under the sun ( takes an hour the most because though it feels like autmn we still have 37 degrees C during daytime and it is still summer) I wish to collect my laundry fresh smelling( Oh! how I love that smell!), fold them, put them in the wardrobes nice and neat. I just wish to bake, bake , bake and crochet,crochet ,crochet.

And as for crochet ,  I have to crochet two blankets  for the twins of my brother-in law's brother, who were born last monday. I need to make a blanket for a boy and a girl. For the girl I am planning to make a version of sunburst granny square in pinks and purples and I was lucky enough to find the perfect yarn for it - that is another post subject - but for the boy I couldn't decide which pattern and I couldn't find the 'perfect' yarn.
So, I decided I will  KNIT a blanket for the boy and that turned out to be a TOUGH JOB . My intention was to make this blanket but after hours and hours of trying , I couldn't do it only to figure out why I couldn't ,  today , after watching video tutorials on youtube. And  this is what I ended up with:

So wish me luck with my new blanket projects . I hope to be posting about them soon...
P.S. This pattern is not what I intended to do but another . It is called ' Old Shale '.  I tried this pattern to figure out how knitting ripples works. Now I will try my intended pattern.

ripple blanket ta-dah!

Goodmorning!
Yes! The ripple blanket is finally finished! The pattern can befound here.

note for Angie: The yarn is Nako pırlanta' Derya'nın tercihi'.' Derya'nın tercihi' yellow is darker than Nako baby yellow. When I last visited the yarn shop I buy my yarn from, I saw the new colours of pırlanta yarn ; VERY bright colours.

I hope you have a lovely week-end.

we are on holiday part-2

Hello!

 Here ia some of our holiday photos.

This is the lovely beach of Aphrodite.The water is so clear and warm , our favourite thing to do is to swim for two ours in this sea.

Little One enjoyed playing in the sand a lot...

And there is a nice pool too...

Of course , a holiday is not perfect without crochet. As I have mentioned before, I am working on  a baby ripple blanket. I am using Nako yarn, bamboo and cotton combination, I find it very enjoyable to crochet.

Soon, I hope to be back with a Ta-dah! post.
I hope you have a lovely day.

we are on holiday-part1

Hello lovelies!
Finally we are having holidays. We have started our holiday by exploring the village of Karaman of the beatiful Girne (Kyrenia).

My son was the person who enjoyed this trip a lot.

He washed his face from the running water arches and we had a walk through the lovely passages of the village.

Here is some details from the village

After Karaman , we went to the village of Gaziveren, to stay at a compound called Aphrodite. I will write about that in another post because now is the time to leave Aprodite and go home.
I hope you have a nice day!
