Groove-Along

[Aussie]

Does anyone know where I can get the Babette pattern from.

[Becki]

I can't wait. I'm so in love with the Babette afghan. Perfect for my living room. Might do a granny square version of it.

Check out Ellen Bloom's blog from this week. Groovy man!

 

But the real reason I went there today was to find a picture of her multi-ghan- HERE

 

Would something like this be groovy enough?

 

I've had my eye on it for after the New Year.

I cant find the Babette pattern but I found the pattern for the squares and from the photos from the purlbee I can see how many rows each square is done and I will just go from there. Now to pick colors, I hate this part.

If you desire the look of the Babette but do not want to make all those little squares Look at the afghan on the Granny Along page. It's the one called A Leftover Blanket. You have to scroll down the page about half way to see it. No pattern- just figure it out yourself I guess.

Lorraine I like the multi ghan, very nice.

Lorraine I like the multi ghan, very nice.

 

I would make the squares a bit larger. Say 8 inches. I've always wanted to do that. Traditional granny rounds- all variageted with a black border.

 

I can't wait to start! Perhaps tomorrow!

 

 

I just ordered that Granny Square Jacket Pattern from Maggie's Crochet!

 

I am always cold and would love to have something like that to wear around the house!

Wendy-- If you go back to the last page os posts, someone mentioned the magazine the original Babette was in, I know it was called Interweave and it was a 2006 issue. Maybe someone in the want ad section would have their magazine for sale if they no longer need it .

 

I think it'd be mainly just multi-rounded squares of all different sizes-- the trick would come in when you had to organize them into some type of order so they'd all fit together .

 

Lorraine, thanks for the link to those nifty patterns-- they'd definitely qualify and the granny jacket is really cute !

 

Welcome Becki !

what fun patterns!!! See y'all later:hook

I just found another one on lionbrand. http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/cms-vest.html

 

OK I MUST have this vest! I really like it and found that Caron Simply Soft is a great (soft) substitute for Microspun (and way cheaper). I will be making this vst after I get my last Christmas project finished.

 

And I still think I'll get started on a multi texture (fluffy stuff and other odd-ball stuff left over) squares afghan in blues and purples and pinks (with balck borders) Maybe not quite "groovy" but it's in my plans anywho

Mel that chart would work too. Just like you said make every block a square

[CrazeeMoi]

ACK!!!! Didn't someone post a link to a graphing program? I can't find it..... am i blind? I want to start potting place for a Babette -style blanket, since I don't have the pattern, I am going to wing it.

[JulieKay]

Hi Candy

Yea, it's http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/--- they have free graph paper to print out .

[CrazeeMoi]

Candy Im doing the Babette blanket as well. What colors are you using.

[bettycrackpot]

i'll be along after the holidays......... just cant stay away!

[hseger]

Well I was going to resist this But...... since I'm making a very LOUD wave lapghan I thought I'd see what all you guys were doing and saw both the pattern Donnalynn is doing and the floor pillow I MIGHT have to join in with those after I finish this months stuff of course

[Becki]

I've got my Babette all figured out on graph paper. And I think I'm going to use the Vanna's Choice yarn. I've heard good things and I felt it last week. It felt like good quality. I'll probably use Chocolate, Rust, Brick, Mustard, Olive & Pea Green.

 

Here's my one question, though: when making the Babette square, does it get a single slip stitch in the corner or two ss-es?

[JulieKay]

Hey Buddy-O's

Just checked in to see how everyone in here is groovin today ?

 

Becki- wish I could help you, but I dont have the pattern so not sure what the technique with the corners is --maybe someone else will have the answer for you .

 

 

I've been making my granny tote and it's about finished up already-- they go pretty quick, so if you need a quick project, give it a go. I'll try getting a photo up later today -

[judianne]

Julie...a made up pattern for your tote??

[JulieKay]

Hi Judy

Well, sorta, and sorta not. I was gonna use the granny tote pattern on the groovy site, but it was turning out to have big holes in it ( from the granny square---), so I used a solid granny instead ,but it wasn't really anything I designed myself, just kinda winged it -

I cant sew to save my life, so can't make a lining, so I needed something pretty solid .

That is fun- love the pony beads. I've been making alot of bright colored things like that lately for my 10 year old. I would like to make one of those in more muted colors so I can use it myself. What are you going to tote in it? And is it like 12" x 12"? Please do tell!

[judianne]

Julie, that's neat!! What "groovy site" did you get it from...on the first post? When I make grannies I usually make only a ch1 in the corners unless it's not laying flat...hate the holes, too - and will not line a bag!
