I have been derelict in updating my blog as I finished projects. I will try to correct this starting with this post and the others spread out over the next few weeks. This quilt was actually finished back in November. I gave it away to be used as a baby quilt. It measures 31.5 in X 34 in.
Finished this afghan recently and gifted it to my niece Eimi. It measures approx 54 in X 82 in. Yarn is Plymouth Encore Chunky, color 678. The patten is Haverfordwest Reversible Blanket by John Lloyd. This is the second one I've made using this pattern. The first two photos were taken while knitting the afghan, the third while blocking.
There will be a lot of scrappy quilts in my future as I challenge myself to make quilts using the fabrics I have rather than buying new fabric. This one was make using a log cabinish style starting with a triangle center instead of a square. I finished in early October. It measures 48.5 in X 62 in. Not sure who will receive it.
I finished this scrappy quilt this summer. It is machine pieced and quilted. It measures 40.5 in square. It is in reserve for now until someone needs it for a baby or just for a lap quilt.
I've knit two chevron afghans in the past couple years. Apparently I failed to post about the first one which I finished back in 2021. The pattern is Spicy Chevron Blanket by Patons. It was made for a nephew, his wife, and daughter (suspect she claimed it). The finished size is 48 in x 62 in. The yarn is Cascade 220 in these colors i-- dark blue #8393, dark teal #4009, teal #8891, yellow #4147, light blue #8905, and white #8505.
This second one was finished in June this year. It was made for a niece and her family. The pattern is The Walt Painted Chevron Baby Blanket by Danielle Romanetti. The yarn is Cascade 220 in toasted coconut #166, cream, and carmine rose #106, and deep teal #103. Finished size is approx 50 x 60 in.
I say a quilt similar to this one online (no numbers just the alphabet). I drafted my block patterns. It is machine pieced and quilted. The finished quilt measures 37.5 in X 45.5 in. It was made for a niece and her husband who are having their first child this September
This is the back before I added a label.
I finished knitting this afghan in April this year. I gifted it to a nephew. It is approx 45 in X 68 in. I altered the pattern so it would be rectangular rather than square. The pattern is prairie blanket by Oat Couture. Yarn is Pacific Chunky Cascade Yarns in colorway 166 (toasted coconut).
I finished this scrappy log cabin quilt at the end of March. I gifted it to my half sister Mariko. It is machine pieced and quilted. It measures 45.5 in X 60.5 in.
I knit this one without a pattern. The edges are a simple garter stitch. I then knit the inside in a block pattern of knit blocks/ garter blocks in a checkerboard pattern. The yarn is Valley Yarn Berkshire Bulky in colorway dark grey heather. Finished it measures 50 in x 68 in. I gave this one to a nephew and his wife. I finished it back in March.
This afghan was finished back in February after starting it in Dec 2022. I gifted it to my nephew Carson. The pattern is Where the Sidewalk Ends by Fifty Four Ten Studio. The yarn is Plymouth Yarn Encore Chunky in colorway oatmeal. I cast on 130 stitches, did 32 pattern repeats to get a larger size than the pattern intended. The finished size is 57 in x 69 in.
This quilt was made for my nephew. It measures 87 in X 88 in. I made the coin sections in a quilt as you go fashion. Then after putting all the pieces together added additional quilting. It was actually finished back in February but I just haven't gotten around to posting it.
I started this afghan in early August and finished it about a week before Christmas. Mailed it after Christmas to my niece (just because gift, not a Christmas present). The pattern is Trellis Afghan by Elizabeth Vindedahl. The yarn is Valley Yarns Haydenville in colorway 21 (yellow). Blocked it measures 65 in X 72 in.
