APAD 131: Coaster

I made this myself several full moons ago… I love the combination of these three colours turned out!

Made by Sreisaat. You can find more about my crafting activities at Crafting with Sreisaat (sreisaatcrafts.wordpress.com).

I have a huge stash of crochet yarns that needed busting. These are acrylic yarns from Thailand, if I am not mistaken. The coaster is actually a granny square. I’m planning to starch it so it stays hard and in shape. The beautiful coffee mug, by the way, was bought from one of the stores found at the ground floor of the KLCC Shopping Mall. That’s nearly a decade ago and I still have it with me. It comes with a matching lid to keep the beverage – coffee or tea – warm.

APAD 098: Granny squares

I borrowed this photo from my crafts blog for this week’s Monday Mellow Yellows.

Last week, I was on my third project at Stash-Buster Challenge and here’s what I came up with —

Lots of of Granny squares. They’re very easy to make because the pattern is very simple. Just chains and double crochet stitches, that’s all. And I love how the color combo turned out 🙂

I don’t know yet what they’ll end up – as a blanket for the new family member, a sofa or pillow cover, or a table runner? I have not made up my mind yet but I’m making some more squares.
