WIPs and Chromium Star Baby Blanket Ta-Dah

Ta-Dah!!! I finished one of my many wips....This is the Chromium Star Blanket found on Ravelry. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chromium-star-blanket When I started the blanket I had no idea who I was making it for. I just knew this star blanket needed to be made for a baby boy...I am pleased to announce that this blanket has found it's new home and the mommy-to- be loved it! YAY!
Now for more pressing matters. I had a serious case of startitis. If you knew me, you would know I hate things that are left undone. When I start something I must finish asap. Except for in crochet. I can start something, work on it for awhile. Something else catches my eye and them BAM!!!!!!! I am starting something else. I have several works in hibernation. Wanna see?

This is a blanket that I have has laying around for years. YES! Years! *GASP* The pattern for this blanket came from a Leisure Arts book called "Our Best Afghans A to Z. 26 "X" cellent Crochet Designs". It was origionally worked up by my mom. I loved the way it looked and begged her for it and so It was mine! YAY! It was so perty lovely I loved it UNTIL it started coming unraveled. The yarn used is a slippery yarn so the ends keep backing out of it. I made it my mission to repair it while trying to keep as much of my mom's origional work intact..

This project I started last winter. I had a thing for Happy Yellow House's wonderful crocheted quilts.

I came up with the idea I would make a frog blanket..I love frogs.. using her wonderful little squares. I drew up the design and this is how far I got. After working on this a while, I got bored so I put it in hibernation and began something else.

Ahhh yes...thanks to Attic24

I began this wonderful granny stripe blanket. This blanket has wonderful rhythms. 1, 2, 3..1,2,3...My blanket isn't as colorful as those on my ravelry group but I love it just the same.

And yet another Attic24 wip. The wonderful, colorful, amazing, gorgeous, hexigon blanket. I love this pattern. However, I got bored with making the hexigons so I put it on the back burner to make some other things. I can't wait to see it all finished. Guess I can since it is on the back burner huh?

This blanket is for a sweet little baby girl. No I don't have anyone in mind yet but if I did, it would probably be done by now. This pattern also came from a Leisure Arts book. I love this pattern. I love the way the pattern makes little heart shapes all over the blanket. I hope to finish and find this cute and cuddly blanket a new home soon. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/heartwarming-wrap

This is my current WIP. This is what I am working on now..It is a University of Michigan blanket. A friend of ours just found out he is having baby #4 and he wanted me to make this blanket. I think it is gonna go in his Michigan room instead of being used for the baby. I have enjoyed drawing and writting up this pattern.

So what do you think? Too many WIPs right? Well I have things I want to make like more hats, scarves, and mittens for my kiddos and hubby; a wrap for me; and some Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorations. However, I am going to do my best NOT to start any more crochet projects until I get most of these projects finished.

I truly hope you have enjoyed looking at all my crochet projects in progress. This post has made me realize I need to get crocheting on these and not look at any new patterns. Is that even possible? We will find out! Until next time, be blessed and I hope you have a wonderful day!
