***42/365***
In the beginning
of the year, I joined the Challenge: “Crochet Mood Blanket 2014”, started
by Stacey from the blog Frofunky. The challenge is to make one granny each day,
for a total of 365 in the whole year.
Most of the participants are making one huge blanket, but I decided to
make several baby blankets instead; and I will be donating these blankets to a charity organization (Pijamitas con Amor) that helps babies in need.
Al principio del año me uní al Reto:
“Crochet Mood Blanket 2014”, convocado por Stacey del blog Frofunky. El reto consiste en tejer un cuadrito al día,
para terminar con 365 al final del año.
La mayoría de los participantes están tejiendo frazadas enormes, pero yo
decidí hacer varias mantas pequeñas para bebé, las cuales estaré donando a una caridad (Pijamitas con Amor) que ayuda a recién nacidos necesitados.
My progress so
far is: 42 squares. This means I have
finished my first blanket.
Hoy alcancé la marca de 42 cuadritos
de la abuela, que unidos forman la primera manta.
I joined all
squares with white yarn. I used the “sc joining
method” (alternating with a chain, to avoid being too bulky).
Uní los cuadritos con lana blanca,
usando el método de unión con punto bajo (alternado con una cadena para evitar
que quede muy grueso).
The border is simple
as well: granny stripes in white and green, and the final row all sc.
El borde es también simple, en blanco
y verde, con una hilera final en punto bajo.
The next blanket will
be for a boy…You can follow my progress on Instagram and in the special page in my blog:
Mood Blanket.
La próxima manta será para niño…Pueden seguir mi progreso en Instagram y en mi blog en la página especial para este
proyecto: Mood Blanket.
My mom is also
making baby blankets for the hospital…with granny squares, both for a boy and for a girl.
Mi mamá también está tejiendo mantas
de bebé para el hospital…con cuadritos granny, tanto para niño como para
niña.
Beautiful colors...for both...

What a lovely blanket, Ana!! And beautiful colors for the next ones :-). It's a wonderful idea to split the CAL up in several small blankets for this cause, fantastic!!! Have a nice day :-)

What a great ideia! I am also making a Crochet Mood Blanket for this year, to document my pregnancy and all the emotions and moods!
ReplyDeleteBut I am making a 52 square blanket with seven rounds in each block, representing each day of the week :)
It will be a present for my future son ;)
Love the colours in this first blanket
Wonderful idea, Nana! it will be an heirloom piece. And congratulations are in order :-)
DeleteTe ha quedado muy bonita. besos
ReplyDeleteMuy bonita!!! Y la intención con la que la has tejido la hace aún más hermosa!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a well-made blanket. I'm looking very carefully at how you join the squares because this is the part I find the most difficult.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Una! I am using the sc-tutorial method, But instead of all sc, I am making 1sc + ch1 (skipping a st with the ch). This way it is not so bulky. I like this joining method, and I find it very easy ;-)
DeleteSo lovely and I, too, am fascinated by that joining method. It looks so neat.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! As I told Una, I like this joining method, because it is very easy too :-)
DeleteOh I really love this idea, it will be such a rewarding way to do it. Your colours are beautiful!
ReplyDelete...sehr schön!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße,*Manja*
cute ! And such a nice gesture, giving them for charity.

Beautiful little blanket! I love the splashes of the dark purplish color in there. That's a great idea to make several baby blankets instead to give to someone in need. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Ana, I love your colour selection!

Beautiful blanket, I take it your mood has been happy and colorful. Hugs to you,
ReplyDeleteMeredith
Yes, Meredith :-) It reflects on this happy mood blanket
DeleteQue bonita¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteI love your idea to make these for charity instead. They are very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Ana, well done on finishing your first mood blanket! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely and cheerful blanket!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty blanket, and perfect colour distribution! :)
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that you caught on the colour distribution ;-) I just could not think of two of the same colour next to each other...that is another reason why I went in another route on the Mood Blanket challenge
DeleteSuch a lovely Blanket, what a brilliant idea to make several small ones rather than just 1 large one.

uau, Ana, te ha quedado preciosa. Me encanta la combinación de colores. Es tan dulce :)
ReplyDeleteEs muy hermosa, me encatan los colores!! Soy super fan de los grannys de la abuela, son muy resultones y se pueden aplicar en casi todo, pero si que es verdad que en las mantitas quedan divinos!!!
ReplyDeleteEstoy completamente de acuerdo contigo, Nuria. También me encantan los cuadritos granny. Se ven lindos, y es un deleite tejerlos :-)
DeleteEstán muy lindos, me gustan.

Thank you all, lovely ladies, for your nice comments :-) Aprecio mucho sus dulces comentarios
ReplyDeleteEs todo un detalle que dones las mantitas, y además se están quedando preciosas.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
Hi, just stopping by to state the obvious: you make wonderful things! I've been reading your blog for some time now and I love it. I've recently used one of your patterns, the red scarf one, to make myself a green cowl, so I wanted to thank you for it, my cowl turned out great, I think, and if you want to see it I've just wrote about it today... thanks again anyway, and keep up the works, they're beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melatia!!! I just visited your blog, and the cowl looks wonderful in green :-)
