huge cozy blanket throw

 Month ago, I wanted to start a new blanket for lazy days on the couch. I usually have trouble to decide which pattern to use, when I work on a project. For this throw I wanted to have a simple but yet pretty pattern which I can crochet without much thinking. 

 So eventually I started to write my own pattern. For this huge throw, I used again wool from the former GDR. ( see the other post where I made the cardigan for my daughter) 

Update: it is finally done! I am finished with my cozy and I am very pleased with the outcome. The total size is 150×180 cm. 

Warm and cozy cardigan

For this Cardigan I used very old unused sheepswool from the former GDR, so over 30 years old and still in perfect condition 🥰 My daughter wanted to have a cozy cardigan for cold winter days at home. I basically measured her up to have a size and then I started crocheting some simple pattern. I devided this piece into two parts which formed a vest and sewed them together in the back. After that I crocheted the arms. My daughter wanted to help me get finished, so I taught her to crochet the flower applications and the border. She is very pleased with the results...

sweet little sheep -süßes kleines Schaf

 For a very long time my daughter wanted to have an amigurimi, so I came up Dedris website and looked up some of her lovely patterns and i found this sheep pattern. My daughter loves my version but to be honest, I think I won't be doing another small thing for a very long time, it is so much tiny work. ..

noch mehr Pulswärmer - even more wristwarmers !

Wenn es draußen etwas kälter wird, ziehe ich meine Pulswärmer an. In diesem Winter sind schon einige neue Varianten in diversen Farben zu meiner Kollektion dazugekommen... Sie sind schnell gemacht aus Resten... 

When it is getting cold outside, I start wearing my wristwarmers.  A lot of new variations in different colours came to my collections this winter. They are made up very quick out of left over yarn...

Virus Shawl with gradient yarn

I cought a virus...very, very bad ;-)

For the shawl I used gradient yarn from wollfactory.de (which is a german company where you can create your own gradient style or choose from many others ;.) the site is in german, but you can contact the owner if you want to order...( I know, many of you asked...) I used 2 skeins of 5 ply " Sonnenuntergang " (sunset) 1 skein was 200 g/600 m and the other one was 250 g/750 m... It has a total size of appr. 2 m x1,4 m

Ich habe mir einen Virus eingefangen, einen sehr schlimmen...

Ich habe für das Tuch Verlaufsgarn der firma Wollfactory.de genommen. ( Es ist eine deutsche Firma, wo man sich selber die Farbverläufe zusammenstellen lassen kann, oder aus vielen Farbkombinationen wählen kann.
Ich habe 2 Bobbel 5fädr. Garn gekauft. Farbe: Sonnenuntergang.
1. Bobbel 200 g/600 m
2. Bobbel 250 g /750 m
Das Tuch hat die Maße: ca 2x1,4 m

 

Finally done...my Sophie's Universe...

My blanket has been done for a while and in use already so I wasn't able to take pictures :

I had to order more yarn than calculated...but it was worth it...it is 100 % pure whool I ordered from Turkey, and it is very soft...and as you can see only in grey...fits perfectly onto my armchair... I love how all the details, like flowers pop up so nicely.
The size of the blanket is 142x142 cm.

Here are some pictures of the WIP:
