Afghans and Blankets
Is there anything that will bright up your day more than a rainbow blanket? I think not! This crochet blanket is so much fun and easy to make. Simply cast on, get into the groove of the pattern and cast off when you feel your blanket is long enough. For this rainbow blanket, simply use up scraps or buy some amazing colours especially for your project. I've depicted this crochet blanket as a rainbow blanket, but really.. you can make this blanket in any colour scheme you like. Have fun!"

There You Go Throw
Afghans and Blankets
The There You Go Throw is a two tone join as you go blanket made of 6-inch squares - graphic, eye-catching, and so much fun to crochet! Fans of My Big Fat Greek Wedding might understand the inspiration for the name! When I was trying to come up with a name (always the hardest part!), I was talking to some friends about how it reminded me so much of Greek graphic patterns - especially the colors! - and the movie came up. My friend Terri loves it as much as I do, and we decided to quote the character Gus, who loves to explain how things are Greek (even things that aren’t), and always ends it with ”…there you go!” Much like some of Gus’s explanations, this blanket isn’t Greek, but it is join as you go (aka quick to crochet), based on the basic granny square, and ready to make in any size desired for the perfect gift or personal pick-me-up - so There You Go!

Rainbow Stripe Crochet Blanket
Afghans and Blankets
Create a rainbow afghan with wide stripes of colour - quick to crochet and a great 'next step' project for a beginner as they get more practice. Rather than having to join squares, this pattern is worked row by row. This pattern will work with any yarn and could easily be adapted to any colour scheme. You could also adjust the length of the rows to make it as a baby blanket in pastel rainbow colours instead.

It has stylish tassels added to all corners of the blanket, and it alternates between Peanut Butter, Sapphire, and Purple Iris in a soft 100% acrylic yarn. It's machine washable and dryer safe for easy care, and the fibers make this blanket soft and cozy without sacrificing durability. Not to mention this yarn comes in striking and vibrant colors, adding to the design of this blanket.

Parker Cozy Blanket
Afghans and Blankets
I love making blankets. As they grow, they keep me super cozy and that is pretty much the reason I designed the Parker Cozy Blanket - because I was cold that day. True story! I love the Parker Cozy Blanket because it has both a cozy and open style of stitching so as not to create a blanket that doesn't allow for some air flow. It is perfect for those cozy nights on the couch! The Parker Cozy Blanket is great for every level of crocheter because it has a wonderful rhythm to the stitching that lets you really get in a groove and will fly off your hook!
