Another Granny

I know I'm supposed to post about my finished "A Place We Call Home" because that is what I promised before.  But I feel so lazy last Saturday, procrastinating on some things that needed to be done that I just sat and crocheted another granny square.  That's one thing I like about crochet, specially grannies.  I will just get the hook and thread and sit and crochet :D

This is what I finished.  Another coaster.  I tweaked the corners from three single crochet to four because I noticed from my previous granny that the three seems a little to tight.  I bobble stitch the center but I prefer the previous one with the bobble stitch on the second round.

These are the threads that I've used, Anchor No. 10 with Boye crochet hook size 2.75mm.  By the way, I made a mistake on my last post about the size of the hook that I have used on the previous granny, it was 2.25mm.

Vikki of By HOOKS 4U asked about the type of thread that I have used in the granny in my previous post since she haven't heard about them before.  I guess it's because Canon Thread and Anchor (shown above) are available only here in the Philippines and both are being produced by Coats Manila Bay and if I am not mistaken, they are the Philippine branch (?) of Coats since they do have the same logo.  Anchor and Canon are softer than DMC Cebelia but stiff than DMC Petra.

This is all for now my friends.  Chat with you again soon!  Take care everyone :-)

Rhombi Scarf and Mini Granny Squares

I just realized that I haven't posted for more than a month.  Nothing's new except it's always busy.  And though I haven't been here, my needles and hooks never go empty.

I have finished this Rhombi scarf maybe two or three weeks ago, but this photo was taken earlier.  I did this for my brother-in-law.  He lost one of his scarves in his trip to Europe so I thought why not make him a replacement.  The pattern is courtesy of Ravelry.  When I have more time, I will link the page here.

This measures, I think, 35 inches. 

I will post a photo of the finished piece soon.

And these are my mini granny squares.  At first sight, they look like regular grannies, but scroll down and you will see how small they are.  The pattern called Daisy Square is courtesy of Annette of My Rose Valley.  Thanks Annette!

 

These are the threads I used, Canon (made by Coats Manila Bay) size 8
