Stash to snuggle - A crochet blanket journey - Week 7&8 - Adding new colours

Welcome back, dear readers! After a short break, I’m happy to be back with another update on my crochet blanket journey. Last week, I was down with a fever and wasn’t able to work on the blanket or share my usual progress update. Now that I’m feeling better, I’m glad to pick up my crochet hook again and continue this colourful project.

Although there was a pause in my weekly updates, the blanket is still slowly growing, one ripple at a time. So, let’s take a look at the progress I’ve made and the new colours added to the blanket this week. 

Two Weeks of Progress – Nine More Stripes

Over the past two weeks, I managed to crochet nine more stripes onto the blanket. It feels wonderful to see the blanket steadily growing, especially after taking a short break from my regular updates.

During these two weeks, I added two new colours to the blanket. After introducing these colours, I decided to start repeating the colour sequence from the beginning. I’m looking forward to seeing how the repeated colours create a consistent rhythm throughout the blanket as it gets larger.

The bright blue continues to be the connecting colour between the different shades, while repeating the earlier colours brings a sense of balance and continuity to the overall design.

With nine more stripes completed, the blanket is gradually becoming a colourful collection of all the shades from my yarn stash. There is still a long way to go, but I’m enjoying watching the pattern develop one stripe and one ripple at a time. 🧶💙

When I started this blanket, I thought I would be able to finish the entire project using only the yarns from my stash. I was happy to make use of the colours I already had and see how far they would take me.

But as the blanket grew, I realised that my main colour—the beautiful blue I have been using throughout the stripes—was not going to be enough to finish the blanket. So, I had no choice but to order some more blue yarn.

And then came the real temptation! 😄

As every crocheter will understand, once you start looking at yarn, it is almost impossible to buy just what you need! While ordering the blue, I spotted a few more colours that were very similar to the shades already in my stash, but with slight variations. Of course, I couldn't resist adding them to my order!

So, what started as a simple order for more blue yarn turned into a few extra colours joining my blanket journey. Now I'm excited to see how these new shades blend with the colours I already have and how the blanket will look as it grows.

Sometimes, having a little more yarn is not a problem—it simply gives us more possibilities! 

The picture above is a close-up of the stripes I have crocheted over the past two weeks. 

You may notice a couple of new colours making their way into the blanket. The mustard yellow, which is the third colour apart from blue, and the dark brown, the fourth colour apart from blue, are both from my new stash.

And that’s not all! I have also added a few new shades of pink and green to my yarn collection. They are slightly different from the colours I already had, but I think they will blend beautifully with the existing shades.

I’ll show you these new colours once I add them to the blanket. For now, they are patiently waiting in my yarn stash for their turn! 😊

It’s always exciting to see how a few new shades can bring a fresh look to a project that is already taking shape.

I have now completed about one-third of the blanket, and it feels wonderful to see the project slowly taking shape. With all these new colours waiting to join the blanket, I’m looking forward to watching it grow even more. My hope is to keep crocheting steadily and finish this blanket by the end of this year. Let’s see if I can make it! 

Until then, happy crocheting and happy creating!

Stash to snuggle - A crochet blanket journey - Week 5&6 - Adding black, shades of grey, yellow, beige

Welcome back, dear readers! After a short break from posting my weekly progress, I'm back with an update on my colourful crochet blanket. I wasn't able to share last week's progress, so I've decided to combine the progress from the last two weeks into one post. The blanket has continued to grow steadily, and I've added some beautiful new colours to the ripple design.

Nine More Stripes Completed

Over the last two weeks, I managed to complete nine more stripes. With each stripe consisting of two rows, the blanket has continued to grow quite noticeably.

I'm enjoying the process of working on this large project a little at a time. Even though it is going to take quite some time to complete, seeing the blanket grow week after week makes the effort worthwhile.

Adding Black, Grey, Yellow and Beige

This time, I introduced several new colours into the blanket—black, two shades of grey, yellow, and beige.

The black adds a bold contrast to the bright blue that runs throughout the blanket. The two shades of grey bring some depth and balance to the brighter colours, while the yellow adds a cheerful pop of colour. I also added beige, which provides a soft, neutral shade among the more vibrant stripes.

I particularly like how the bright blue continues to appear between the different colours. Since I have plenty of this shade in my stash, using it repeatedly helps connect all the different colour combinations and gives the blanket a more unified appearance.

Watching the Blanket Grow

It's amazing to look back at the earlier photographs and compare them with the blanket now. What started as a collection of 4-ply acrylic yarn from my stash is gradually turning into a colourful and textured ripple blanket.

With nine more stripes completed, I'm one step closer to finishing this long-term project. There are still plenty of rows ahead, and I'm looking forward to seeing how all these colours come together as the blanket gets bigger.

Large crochet projects require patience, but I'm enjoying every part of the journey—one stripe, two rows, and one ripple at a time. 💙🖤💛

Thank you for continuing to follow my crochet blanket journey. I'll be back with another update as the blanket continues to grow!

Stash to snuggle - A crochet blanket journey - Week 4 - Adding Shades of green

 Welcome back, dear readers! I'm happy to have you join me for Week 4 of my crochet blanket journey. The blanket is continuing to grow steadily, and I'm enjoying experimenting with different colours from my yarn stash. This week, I introduced cream and two shades of green, adding a fresh and natural touch to the colourful ripple design.

Catch Up on the First Three Weeks

If you're joining me for the first time, you can catch up on the earlier stages of my crochet blanket journey before reading this week's update. In Week 1, I introduced the project, shared my yarn stash and colour palette, and began the blanket using the Neat Ripple Pattern. Week 2 brought another seven rows and the addition of maroon, while Week 3 added 12 more rows along with three beautiful shades of pink. Each week has brought new colours and steady progress, and it's wonderful to see how the blanket is gradually growing. Take a look at the previous three updates below and follow along from the very beginning!

→ [Read Week 2 – My Second Week of Progress]

→ [Read Week 3 – Adding Three Shades of Pink]

Week 4 Update

Six More Stripes Completed

This week, I completed another six stripes, with each stripe consisting of two rows. That makes a total of 12 new rows added to the blanket this week.

I'm pleased that I have been able to maintain a steady rhythm with this project. Working on the blanket row by row makes this large project feel much more manageable, and it is incredibly satisfying to see the ripple pattern getting longer with every week.

Adding Cream and Shades of Green

For this week's colour palette, I introduced cream and two shades of green. The cream adds a soft, neutral element to the bright colours already present in the blanket, while the two greens bring a fresh and natural feel to the design.

I particularly enjoy how the new colours contrast with the recurring bright blue. The blue continues to appear between the different colour combinations, helping to create continuity throughout the blanket while allowing each new shade to stand out.

As the number of colours increases, the blanket is becoming more vibrant and interesting. I love the little surprise that comes with adding each new stripe and seeing how it works with the colours already crocheted.

Another 12 Rows Completed

With 12 more rows completed this week, the blanket is steadily growing into a colourful ripple creation. What started as a collection of 4-ply acrylic yarn from my stash is slowly turning into a beautiful handmade blanket.

I'm learning that consistency is the key to completing a large crochet project. A few rows each day may seem like a small achievement, but when those rows are added together week after week, the progress becomes quite remarkable.

I'm looking forward to continuing this journey and seeing which colours from my stash will make their way into the next section of the blanket.

Another six stripes, 12 rows, and three new colours added—one week closer to completing my ripple blanket! 

I'll be back next week with another progress update as the blanket continues to grow, one ripple at a time.

Stash to snuggle - A crochet blanket journey - Week 3 - Adding Shades of Pink

Welcome back, dear readers! I'm delighted to have you join me for Week 3 of my crochet blanket journey. With each passing week, this colourful blanket is slowly taking shape, and I'm excited to share the progress I've made. This week brought some beautiful new additions to the colour palette, including three lovely shades of pink, which add a fresh and vibrant touch to the ripple design. So, let's take a look at what I accomplished this week and see how the blanket has grown, one row at a time! 🧶💗

Catch Up on the Previous Weeks

If you're new to my crochet blanket journey, I'd love for you to start from the beginning! In Week 1, I introduced the project, shared the yarn from my stash, the colour palette, the 4 mm crochet hook, and my first experience with the chainless foundation row. In Week 2, I shared the next stage of the journey, including the addition of seven more rows and the introduction of maroon into the colour sequence. You can read both updates below and then continue here to see how the blanket has grown in Week 3.

→ [Read Week 2: My Second Week of Progress]

Week 3 Update: Adding Shades of Pink

Six More Stripes Completed

This week, I added six more stripes, with each stripe consisting of two rows. That means I completed a total of 12 new rows this week.

I was able to maintain a steady rhythm of two rows per day, which made the project feel much more manageable. Although this is going to be a large blanket and there are still many rows ahead, seeing consistent progress each day is very encouraging.

Introducing Three Shades of Pink

For this week's colour combination, I decided to introduce three different shades of pink into the blanket. The pinks bring a lovely brightness and feminine touch to the existing blue, maroon, brown, orange and yellow shades.

I particularly like how the pink stripes stand out against the recurring bright blue rows. Using the blue between the other colours continues to create a sense of consistency while allowing each new shade to make its own statement.

The ripple pattern is becoming more interesting with every colour I add, and I'm beginning to get a better idea of how the finished blanket might look.

12 More Rows, One Week at a Time

With 12 additional rows completed this week, the blanket is gradually becoming larger and more colourful. It's satisfying to look back at the beginning of the project and see how much it has already grown.

This project is teaching me that a large crochet blanket doesn't have to be completed all at once. Setting a small daily goal—in my case, two rows a day—makes the project enjoyable and achievable.

I'm looking forward to continuing this colourful journey and discovering how the next set of colours will come together.

Another 12 rows completed, three beautiful shades of pink added, and one more week of crochet memories created! 🧶💙💗

I'll be back next week with another update as this Neat Ripple Blanket continues to grow, one row at a time.

Stash to snuggle - A crochet blanket journey - Week 2

Welcome back, dear readers! I'm so happy to have you join me for Week 2 of my crochet blanket journey. This colourful project is slowly growing row by row, and I'm excited to share the progress I've made this week. It has been wonderful watching the Neat Ripple Pattern come to life as I add new colours from my yarn stash. So, grab your favourite cup of tea and let's take a look at how the blanket has grown this week! 

If you’re joining me for the first time, you can catch up on how this crochet blanket journey began in my Week 1 update. I shared the yarn colours from my stash, the Neat Ripple Pattern, my first experience with a chainless foundation row, and the progress I made during the first week. Read the Week 1 Crochet Blanket Update here and then continue with this week’s progress. 

It’s time for the second weekly update on my crochet blanket journey!

This week, I managed to add seven more rows to the blanket. With each new row, the ripple pattern is becoming more defined, and I’m really enjoying watching the blanket gradually take shape.

For this week’s colour combination, I continued using my bright blue as the main recurring shade and introduced maroon into the stripe sequence. The deep maroon adds a lovely contrast to the bright blue and gives the blanket a richer, more vibrant look.

I’m particularly enjoying the way the bright blue keeps appearing throughout the blanket. Since I have more of this colour in my yarn stash, I plan to use it alternately between the other colours, creating a consistent flow throughout the design.

Here’s a closer look at the stitches and colour combination in this week’s progress. The close-up shows the beautiful texture of the Neat Ripple Pattern and how the bright blue and maroon stripes complement each other. I’m especially enjoying the neat, flowing ripples and the way each colour adds its own character to the blanket.

So far, the project is progressing steadily, one ripple and one row at a time. There is still a long way to go, but seeing those colourful stripes grow is making every stitch worthwhile.

Seven more rows completed this week—and I’m excited to see what the next week brings!

Small Floral Cross Cross Stitch Pattern | A Simple Handmade Christian Embroidery Project

A Small Cross-Stitch Project with a Meaningful Message

Purchase here

Sometimes the smallest embroidery projects carry the deepest meaning. Recently, I completed this miniature cross-stitch design featuring a simple wooden cross adorned with delicate blue flowers and green leaves. Though it fits in the palm of my hand, it reminds me that faith and beauty are often found in the little things.

This design was stitched on 14-count white Aida fabric using 2 strands of embroidery floss, which provided excellent coverage while keeping the stitches neat and well-defined. The combination of the crisp white fabric and vibrant thread colors makes the design stand out beautifully.

The brown cross symbolizes strength and hope, while the blue flowers add a gentle touch of peace and grace. 

Framing the finished piece in a clear acrylic frame gives it a clean, modern appearance and protects it beautifully.

One of the things I enjoy most about small cross-stitch projects is that they can be completed in a relatively short time while still providing the same sense of accomplishment as a larger design. They also make thoughtful handmade gifts for family and friends, especially for occasions such as baptisms, confirmations, birthdays, Easter, Christmas, or simply as a reminder of God's love.

Every stitch in this project reminded me that patience, consistency, and attention to detail create something truly meaningful. Handmade creations are more than just decorative pieces—they tell a story and preserve memories through thread and fabric.

I hope this little cross-stitch inspires you to pick up your needle and create something that reflects your faith and creativity. No matter how small a project may be, every stitch is made with love.

If you would like to own this handcrafted cross-stitch piece, I'm happy to share that it is available for sale through my Instagram page. Each stitch has been carefully handcrafted with attention to detail, making it a unique piece of art that's perfect for home décor, a thoughtful gift, or a meaningful keepsake.

Stash to Snuggle – A Crochet Blanket Journey - Week 1

Every crochet project begins with a single stitch, and today I'm starting one that has been on my mind for a long time.

Like many crocheters, I've collected quite a few balls of 4-ply acrylic yarn over the years. Instead of letting them sit in my stash, I've decided it's time to transform them into something beautiful, practical, and filled with memories—a large handmade crochet blanket.

This won't be a quick weekend project. A blanket of this size takes patience, consistency, and many hours of stitching. But that's one of the things I love most about crochet. Each row tells a story, and every finished section is a reminder that even the biggest projects are completed one stitch at a time.

I'll be sharing this journey here on my blog.

These are all 4-ply acrylic yarns that I've gathered over time in a beautiful mix of vibrant, pastel, and neutral shades. Instead of leaving them tucked away, I've decided to give them a new purpose by turning them into one large crochet blanket. Each color will add its own personality to the design, making the finished blanket a unique reflection of creativity, patience, and the joy of making something beautiful from what I already have.

In this stash I have 4 hanks of Bright blue colour yarn and 7 to 8 black colour yarn.  But I am using black for 1 or 2 stripes.  And using Bright blue as the major colour.  I have no idea how to arrange these colour.  Thanks to chatgpt.  It crocheted me a sample blanket with these colours.  I will be making some changes in the stripe colours.  

For this blanket, I'm using a 4 mm crochet hook, which gives the stitches a lovely, even texture with my 4-ply acrylic yarn.

One new technique I'm trying in this project is the chainless foundation row. This is my first time using this method, and I'm already appreciating the clean, flexible edge it creates compared to a traditional foundation chain. Since it deserves a detailed explanation of its own, I'll be sharing a separate blog post with a step-by-step tutorial on how to work the chainless foundation row.

The blanket is being crocheted using the beautiful Neat Ripple Pattern by Attic24, a timeless ripple design that works wonderfully with multiple colours and is perfect for making the most of a yarn stash.

As with any new technique, the first row took a little longer than expected. It took me approximately 30–35 minutes to complete the foundation row. Although it required patience, I know the pace will improve as I become more familiar with the pattern and settle into a comfortable rhythm.

"The first 12 rows are complete! The ripple pattern is taking shape, and I'm loving how these warm and cool shades complement each other. One row at a time, this blanket is coming to life."

Every large crochet project begins with a single stitch, and I'm excited to see this blanket grow with each passing week. Although I've only completed the first 12 rows, I'm already enjoying the process and looking forward to watching the colours come together into a beautiful finished piece.

Thank you for following along on this journey. Your encouragement and support mean so much to me.

I'll be back next Monday with my first weekly progress update, where I'll share how much the blanket has grown, the colours I've added, and my experience working on this project throughout the week.

Until then, happy crocheting, and remember...

One stitch at a time, beautiful things are created.

Edited

The journey continues! 🧶 Read my Week 2 Crochet Blanket Update to see the colours I added and how the blanket has grown by another seven rows.
