Winter Project Link Party

I have impressed myself this month with the amount I have got done.  The yarn I used was a beautiful Arran with 30% wool, it crochets up very quickly, so it became a very quick and easy make. 

Drum roll please for the big reveal...


 
The throw and cushion are finished, all ready to be packaged up for my youngest daughter.  I finished both the throw and the cushion with a corded edging or reverse double crochet.  It took a little of getting used to but I love the simple finish.
 
 
My crochet hook has been in overdrive as I have also finished two lap blankets for my parents, they just need the ends sewing in and then are all ready to be packaged up.
 

 
The zig zag pattern was another easy make and works up very quickly using arran yarn and a 5mm hook.  They are a lovely addition to the home at this time of year and will be well received.
 
I am joining Jennifer over at thistlebearhome.com.  Pop over and see what projects others are involved in.

  1. The blue blanket is such a simple but effective design. I used the crab stitch edge on a baby blanket this year at it is such a great way to finish a blanket. Jo x

  7. It's a lovely throw. I'm working on something similar myself, although it will be nowhere near as nice. I love the additional touch of a matching cushion. X

  13. Blimey, there must be steam coming off your crochet hook, what fabulous makes and finished so soon too. I really like the simplicity of the edging on your daughter's blanket, that's new to me but looks really effective. I'm sure your parents will love their lap blankets, I made one for my mum a couple of years ago and she uses it all the time.
