Afghans


I've started a new one! I'm using Redheart unforgettable boutique yarn, double stranded to make this one. I had three skeins hanging around so I thought I'd do some mindless crocheting with it.



 I liked it SO much that I went ahead and bought a TON (18) Skeins from Joann's when I caught them on sale. Hopefully that will be enough, but if it's not...then I will buy more!


And do you remember this stack of squares?



I finally put them all together in November to create this afghan:



I'm like, crazy proud of this one too. It took ages! I ended up giving it to my mom's sister for her birthday. She needed a handmade hug. I can't wait to work on another one...I kind of want to make one for my best friend for Christmas next year, but we'll see. 

I managed to start and complete, 5 (FIVE!?) Afghan's in 2014...I think that's quiet a feat...don't you? 

Let's rehash!

In February

I finished an afghan for my yet-to-be-born grand-neice

In May

I made my Mom a lapghan for mother's day. (Gosh that one made my arms HURT for days)

I can't remember the exact date that I finished this next one...because I just realized I never posted it on my blog!?  (But I think it was in August)

It's a corner to corner afghan, I used Lion Brand homespun yarn that I found on sale for 75% off at wal-mart. I used 6 skeins total and an H hook.


And then in July I made this one

For my Dad's birthday. 


So five afghans in a year is NOT shabby at all...I never thought I would complete one afghan, ever, let alone five in a single year (and now six total) Who knows what I might accomplish this year!

    Wow! All five are just wonderful Bliss! Of course I love mine! They all turned out really well and I know that Misty loves hers as well. I am looking forward to seeing the newest one develop along with your projects for this year. I think a total of five blankets in a year is a grand accomplishment. Have a great week! Miss you much, and love you, mom.

    LOVE the colors in The Red Heart Botique yarn, I must check that out. Had to laugh reading you bought 18 skeins, I've been known to do that, lol. And the blue and brown ghan is very interesting, I like different.........and it most unique, very striking!

Hello there! I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I first want to thank you for stopping by my blog! Welcome to Crochet Bliss! I've never been very good at introducing myself on these types of things but I'll do my best for you today! Guess I'll start off with a few facts, yes? My name is Bliss, and I'm a 23 year old college student. I go to school in Dallas Tx but I live with my family in Alabama. I'm currently taking off a semester to help out my family, and I plan to return to the bustling city life of Dallas in August. I decided to create this blog at the beginning of the year in part to help me stay motivated in my projects and perhaps connect with other crafters around the world. I was inspired by some friends over at Deviant art who also blog. And since I like to write, and show off the things I make, what better place to do that than a blog? My main area of crafting is Crochet, though I dabble in embroidery sometimes, I've co...

But aren't they so cute!  There are several moods for both the yarn and the hook so we will see how well I use them, yes?  Alright now,...
