Pineapple Square Throw

Throw for Bride and Groom

 

 

Pineapple Squares Throw Crochet Pattern

 

 

I liked the pattern and think it will make a nice throw for a couple I know getting married this summer.

 

There are a few corrections to this pattern even though, Red Heart hasn't updated it yet.

 

I and others found some errors with this pattern.
This is how I corrected mine.

ROUND 3: A “4-dc”, after the begining 4-dc, will have "5"  loops on the hook.
ROUND 8: There is no sc in the previous round, “ch 2, dc, in same st as ch 2”, continue as written.


Hope this helps.

I wanted the new bed to have a nice afghan, even made a couple throw pillows from leftover granny's.

Now to make another bed for the second Barbie, and to find a LARGE box to make rooms for the Barbies to live in.

Gypsy Grand~daughters Barbie Bed

 

Desert Dreams Barbie Bed

 

The Gypsy Grand~daughters are getting older.
Barbie has been apart of the American lifestyle for over 50 years. It was time to dig in to scrap yarns and make something for the girls to play with.
The boys, toys are fine but girls need girl toys!

Looking for furniture patterns now, maybe a couch and chair, of coarse another bed, maybe a canopy bed.

Need to make some clothes, crochet of coarse.
It's much easier to set in the chair after work than to retreat to the sewing room.

Not much else

Hand Warmers

A lady I work with inspired me to try these.

 

Needed to crochet a hand to show the warmers.

 

 

The pattern for the warmers can be found here. Crochet Lace Fingerless Mitts.

Eating lunch all by myself!

Thermos Cozy

 

 

Let's hope it keeps soup warmer.

 

When I take lunch at work, I like to sit in my vehicle and eat.

 

No droolers!

 

In the break room, people come and go, making sure they have an eye on you, besides you have to walk the stairs, (the ankles won't take all the up and down).

 

Left over cotton yarn, was just right for this project, even double layered the top.

 

Heat rises.



Yellow, is Peaches n' Cream, green is Lily cotton, Lava Lamp.

Good use for clearance yarns.
