Sophie's Garden - Progress so far

Back in february I have joined sophies Universal CAL hosted by dedri of look at what I made.  It is a blanket cal and she has finished all the official rounds of the blanket.  So far 113 rounds have been completed.  I have also completed the 113 rounds and blocked my blanket.  It came around 47 x 47 inches.

  And last week the squares for making the blanket into rectangle has been posted.  But I am not going to do the squares.  Instead I am going to continue with the as-we-go-stripey-blanket pattern on both the sides to fit my double size bed.  I can't believe my eyes. This is the first time I am using these many colors in a single project.  Very happy with the outcome.  

Click on the image for a better view. I have used the acrylic yarn and 3mm hook.

I like this part the butterfly band, the tulip and then the diamond band.  Creative pattern and using simple stitches different patterns have been created.

Hope all of you like this.  Will come up with another post.  Till then, happy crocheting and have a happy weekend.

Small SAL - february, CAL progress

This year with the idea of stitching the small cross stitch charts I am participating in the Small SAL 2015 hosted by Heather of stitching Lotus. I have joined only on February and I have managed to stitch this small may-bright flower from rainbow gallery.  You can find the chart here.  I have planned to change this piece into a fridge magnet.  Now over to the stitched piece.

I have stitched this on 14ct Aida with 2 strands of embroidery thread.
