Hexagon Blanket finished :)

There hasn't been much going on in my plush making world lately... and this is the reason. I've been working on this blanket for a couple of weeks now. It's going to be a Christmas present for someone special. Yep, it's that time where I start to make Christmas presents already... slowly but surely. I really love how this turned out. I think I might be addicted to crocheting all these colorful squares, hexagons and then piecing it all together. The best part is that I just crocheted hexagons I liked the color combos of, I had no master plan other than the pattern in which they fell in. Then it all came together just like that. I did end up crocheting one extra row because I thought it would be nice if it was longer and to achieve a certain color blend. I can't wait to see the reaction of the receiver :)

Friendly Ghost & Hexagon Blanket

So the other day I did some doodles of ghosts... Halloween is right around the corner and I'm going to visit my little sister in less than 2 weeks so I was trying to think of an easy project to do with her. I imagined making a bunch of little ghosts with her.

This is my first attempt. I'm quite pleased with the result. It's the first time I used an embroidery hoop too and I thought it made the job a lot easier! I found it a lot easier to keep the proportions of things.

Anyway, I've been in need of designing a plush that I can sew wherever I happen to be... The sewing machine is not very convenient for me. I always have to bring it out of the closet, set it up on the kitchen table or the coffee table. And so I have to have the right amount of time available to get a project done from start to end and sometimes I don't have the 3-4 hrs needed.

Oh and in the background are some hexagons from a blanket I've been working on as a Christmas present. I'm actually almost done with the blanket... just haven't taken pictures up until this point... so more to see when that's done :)
