<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope this post finds you well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I finished the project I started earlier this week - a crochet hook case made with a mix of crochet and sewing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could not be happier with the way it came out! Well, maybe I could be a little happier, since the day I sewed the fabric, I was unable to sew in a straight line...but anyways...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The outside is just a simple crochet rectangle. I crocheted a nice texture pattern, just to make it that much prettier.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The inside is where it gets a little messy. But hey, I just started sewing, and am still very proud of how far my sewing has come in such a short time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a simple fabric rectangle, with a simple pocket; then I sewed (what were supposed to be straight) seams to hold the hooks and a pair of scissors.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-_8JZZUY9ZcZX04oNlzA5eM0dkoBKsj5rAbYTWU_LWrtdxKy8yBU5Y1Maw74_3U0p_HlD9qJArKyQVi1o8M2AqTflpXNaAqRR0tB0Woe-P9qB926VxHettWatzVEvOBy1akkahCUwsgw/s1600/3WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-_8JZZUY9ZcZX04oNlzA5eM0dkoBKsj5rAbYTWU_LWrtdxKy8yBU5Y1Maw74_3U0p_HlD9qJArKyQVi1o8M2AqTflpXNaAqRR0tB0Woe-P9qB926VxHettWatzVEvOBy1akkahCUwsgw/s1600/3WM.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it was just a matter of attaching the crochet rectangle to the fabric rectangle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this, I decided to use embroidery thread and stitch around the fabric and through the bars of the single crochet border.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made this as a present, but I cannot tell you who is going to be receiving it in the mail, since they might read this post before it's delivered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to have to make one for myself too, because I am in love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you want to order one, please email me, and I will be more than happy to make one for you!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am just going to write a quick post about the new baby blanket that I just added to my <a href="http://www.chirpinbirdieshop.com/" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of my favorite baby blankets that I have ever done. I think because it is different - color wise - than anything I have crocheted before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Red Heart yarns for this blanket. For the 12 squares, I used Red Heart with Love in Berry Red, and the other two colors are all Red Heart Super Saver in Hot Pink and Carrot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The square pattern is called Tricolor Square, and is block number 35 from the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crochet-Blocks-Blankets-Throws-Afghans/dp/1931499683" target="_blank">200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws, and Afghans</a> by Jan Eaton.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the border, I used Gold from Red Heart Super Saver. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found the <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/255297872600675955/" target="_blank">pattern </a>for the border on Pinterest, and it is available for free - but it is a graph, unless you understand Chinese.</div>

<br />
I know that it is Wednesday, and that I have not posted about my <a href="http://chirpinbirdie.blogspot.com/p/hello-i-have-finished-my-first-week-in.html" target="_blank">Crochet Mood Blanket</a> in a very long time. And, I am still not posting about it today....booooo! I am a couple weeks behind, unfortunately.<br />
<br />
I am here to tell you about another project that is FINALLY FINISHED!!!!<br />

<br />
<br />
I started this blanket at the end of May 2013, and worked on it for a few weeks - until the weather turned scorching hot, and it was too much to sit under an afghan. <br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">So, I put it to the side and started crocheting smaller projects.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"> I then took it back out at the end of September, and finished the crocheting part. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">But, those pesky ends that my past self didn't sew in as she worked, needed to be taken care of. I put the blanket up in the closet because I have been really busy with custom orders since October - thankfully! Well, last night I decided to just take it down and get those ends sewn up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I am so happy that this blanket is finally done! Not too long after I started crocheting this blanket, Chris said that we had to keep it, because it reminded him of engineering paper. I don't see the resemblance, but I am happy to have a pretty afghan for the back of the couch now.</span></div>

I used Red Heart Super Saver in Charcoal, Lemon, Light Gray, and Soft White - four skeins of each if I remember correctly. And those twelve skeins produced a blanket that is 75"x78", plenty big enough for random napping.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you follow me on Instagram, then you have seen a few black and white photos on my feed in the past couple weeks. If you don't follow me on Instagram - well shame on you! - you should click <a href="http://instagram.com/chirpinbirdie" target="_blank">here</a> and start following the fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is finally time to reveal the colors of the baby blanket that I had to post in black and white! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FYI - I had to post in B&W because I didn't want to ruin the surprise for the mommy-to-be, but I will be at the baby shower when this post is scheduled to go live. So, no more worrying about ruining the surprise.</div>

I thought about so many different patterns to crochet for this baby blanket.</div>

I was set on the colors I wanted to use - Brynlee's nursery is peacock theme, so this was my way of going with that, without being to matchy-matchy.</div>
