Circles to Squares Afghan

I finished up a long-term project this past weekend, adding a bit of handmade coziness to the living room.

I love our leather couch, but it’s a bit chilly in the winter.

 

This project seemed to take forever: I’ve been working on it for nearly a year.

 

Judging from the pattern I knew it would be a rather small afghan, but when I went to spread the completed squares out before assembly it was a little discouraging to see how small the whole thing was. And there were a lot of ends to weave in. That’s always my least favorite part.

Maggie seemed unimpressed at first… 

but I think she had no trouble getting comfortable.

Mini Crochet Stroller Blanket

i finished and blocked this little blankie, then completely lost track of where it was for months.

i guess it’s one of the hardships of working with dollhouse miniatures, particularly if you have a large craft room but not enough minis to have a designated space for them yet.

it’s about 3 x 4 inches.

Miniature Crochet

 

i’ve enjoyed crocheting jewelry with my skinny little steel hooks, but this is the first dollhouse-scale project i’ve embarked upon.

 

single-strand embroidery floss with 1.6 mm hook.

 

    

 

finished size of this stroller blanket will be about 4×5 inches. am i nuts? it’s actually going better than i anticipated…
