Honeycomb Pattern for the Beach
We just renovated a condominium in South Florida and I was trying to keep with a tropical theme. I needed to add more green to enhance the palm tree prints on my pillows but I could not find a throw that would go with them. Now that I am crocheting I can just make one to match and with all the different colors of yarn available, it was easy. I found this honeycomb pattern which I used since it looked like a lightweight blanket. I love how it turned out!

Round Baby Blanket
My daughter has been influencing me with items she would like me to make. One of the links she showed me was a round blanket. I love the idea of a round blanket and searched until I found the one that appealed to me most. Here's the result of my round baby blanket. Check out the pattern here.
I love all the bobble and shell stitches. I made this twice already and found that different needles make all the difference. Here I used a G needle and size 4 yarn. I used 100% acrylic since this will be used for a baby and will need many (careful) washings.

New Twists
I guess you noticed that I haven't posted in quite a while. Due to changes in my life, I am no longer creating wreaths. Now that my life has taken a different direction (I recently became a grandmother to a beautiful little girl), I have rediscovered my love of crocheting. What once was granny squares and simple stitches is now a whole new world of stitching and creating due to social media. Bear with me as I discover a new way to be creative and create new twists!
My first creation was for a friend's first grandson. I love this basketweave stitch. It's a fun and quick way to create a small baby blanket. Check out this basketweave stitch here.
