'Hello Kitty' Afghan

[Hookerangel]

My Darling Garddaughter keeeps telling me that althouh I have made her various afghans I have not made her one with her name on it ( and I have made them for everyone else!). Her favourite thing at this time is 'Hello Kitty'. So while on holiday recently I made this afghan for her. Thankfully she loves it and have used it continually she I gave it to her. Thank you for looking.

Karen, how lovely! Just of of curiosity, how do you pronounce her name?

 

And now, a guideline reminder for everyone, since every time something featuring Hello Kitty is posted, people ask about pattern availability. First, I want to clarify that it's absolutely fine for Karen to post about her finished afghan here. So Karen, what I'm about to say next isn't directed toward you at all. I'm just offering clarification about a question I know will come up.

 

Hello Kitty is a trademarked, copyrighted character. In order to distribute legally a pattern featuring her likeness, the designer/publisher must make licensing arrangements or receive other permission from the trademark/copyright owner (Sanrio Corporation).

 

There are some licensed patterns available in Japanese-published books and magazines. If the pattern for this afghan came from one of those sources, information can be posted about where members can find the book or magazine.

Dear HookerAngel:

 

My question is not about the afghan its totally awesome beautiful it came out..

My question is I see that is not a regular stitch you use, do you use popcorn stictch to make the deisgns or what ... I love the ways the ghans look..Can you explain it if its not going to be against guidelines...

Just curious..

thanks

[CrochetinMama]

You did a GREAT JOB on that ghan...And I too like the way it POPS out at ya...

[Ninn]

Is your granddaughter named after the character in the Father Greeley books? Her name appears to be spelled the same as 'Nuala's.

[Tampa Doll]

That is so cute. It brought a sile to my face. I am sure she just loves it.

[Miss Crochet]

It's just lovely. I'm beginning to think our Hookerangel needs a medal for speed-crocheting - Karen, how do you get so many lovely afghans done?

 

AmyS: in my part of Ireland we'd say "Finnuula" for Fionnghuala. I've also heard "Fyunnuula". ...How do you pronounce it, Karen?

[Amy]

It finally clicked in my head earlier today that it must be the Gaelic (??) spelling of the name shared by actress Fionnula Flanagan. In fact, I just looked her up on imdb.com. Her given name really is Fionnghuala.

What fun!! I love hello kitty! good job!

[Hookerangel]

Hi All - my granddaughter's name is pronounced fin - oo-la and yes it is Gaelic and means fair-shouldered. WOW hope I haven't broken any guidelines etc with my ghan. I was actually given a little booklet with a few Hello Kitty charts in it by a friend. It is really a cross stitch book and I used used the chart for crochet purposes.

[rashidah]

That is one great blanket.

[cissy]

What a beautiful blanket !!!! This will surely be a treasured blanket for her to hold on to !!! Was it hard to go from cross stitch to crochet????

[angelsmith52]

That is just so pretty! It will be loved!

[rsisland]

Beautiful afghan! I love cross stitch patterns translate to crochet so easily. It is very hard to find crochet patterns for somethings but you can almost always find a cross stitch pattern somewhere

[mellybelly]

What a darling 'ghan! I'm sure she'll treasure it always. Great job!

[Lov2Crochet]

You did a wonderful job!

[Startigerlily]

Wonderful!

[amdm]

[bearlycrocheting]
