My day started out pretty shitty – and it’s the first day of one of my favorite months, but let’s try to distract ourselves with some pretty pictures!
This is 3/4 of section 5 – Babette – in case you can’t tell. I have one more 8 rounder to go before I’m done 5. Then it’s onto 6, then seaming. Here’s how the whole thing is looking right now:
I’m really enjoying how this is all coming together. Sure, I chose the colors and assigned them letters, but every time I look at the directions and see what letter combinations are coming up it’s a surprise! Sometimes I’m like ugh – that color next to THAT color, but so far I love the way it’s coming out! I wouldn’t change a thing!
I hope you like Babette. I think you might be seeing a bit of her for awhile. She’s captured my heart again.
I love your Babette!!
I made a Mini Babette blanket some while ago, but I like your colours more then the ones I used.. Can’t wait to see how it turns out when you’ve finished it! 🙂
Hope your day gets better..
Sorry about the bad start to the day. Hope it gets better. Logged on hoping to see pictures of the Bee, but I like Babette as well. I want to start the Bee, but have eleventy-seven projects I should finish first.
Hopefully you’re feeling better by now. Babette is really fabulous. So many sizes, colors and shapes…very interesting and unique!
Wow! Babette is fabulous. Love it. I look forward to seeing more of her.
Hope August gets better from here on out!
Oh yes, I adore Babette! Hope your day improves.
J’adore Babette! She’s fascinating and exotic 😉 It’s been so much fun watching this project progress…
Babette is marvelous! And I just know your day will get better with all these good wishes 😀
Babette is gorgeous! I need to learn how to crochet.
Babette is gorgeous! I need to learn how to crochet.
Lovin your Babette photos!
You really have a talent for bringing the colors to life!
Babette is beautiful. I might need to pick up my crochet hook again! Hope that August improves minute by minute and stays positive.
She’s beautiful.
Wow! You’ve really been plugging away on ole Babette. She’s looking lovely.
Sorry about the shitty morning. How about this? Let’s say that that’s the last of it. Got it out of the way. Checked it off. Done for the month. Right? (If only it were that easy.)
I’m loving Babette! I may need to copy you and start one for myself.
I love the colors. It looks like a garden of flowers. I can’t wait to see how it grows.
I hope your day improves!
Looking fantastic already … little crochet squares are great for instant gratification, aren’t they?!
Babette is darling. I love the colors you’ve chosen they make me wish I knew how to crochet.
what is the seaming color going to be?
Babbette is the first pattern that really made me want to pick up a hook. I haven’t taken the lunge yet but you are inspiring me…
Your colour combinations are simply stunning. Good job 🙂
I hope your day gets better!
I’m sitting on the same bench as E to the M. This is the first thing I’ve ever seen that made me wish I knew how to crochet. Ever.
I think I’m blaming your gorgeous photography.
Ooooh Babette… how I love thee.
Hope your day gets better.
Babette is so pretty! I hope you’re feeling better Cara – and that all your days go well!
Beautiful! You have such a way with squares.
sorry you’re having a crap day. my week has been pretty crap, which is why i’ve been loading up on the fudgesicles. it’s probably not the smartest thing i’ve done, since i could really stand to lose a few pounds, but what the hell. eating fudgesicles is better than having a full-blown meltdown. i hope your day gets better. for whatever it’s worth, your squares are just beautiful. you have such a wonderful sense of color!
Babette is looking gorgeous. Oh, how you tempt me to actually learn to crochet…maybe one of these days, I will!
Your Babette is wonderful, I love your colors. I was wondering where to find the pattern? May your day be blessed. Thanks Debi
I am enjoying this very much thank you! Do you spaz when it comes to choosing colors at the yarn purchase phase of a project like this? Or, do you have a vision that you build on? What drives your color choice engine? I’ve always loved the way your projects with many colors come together, like your green Log Cabin and now, Babette
Hoping that comment about the month wasn’t ironic, because my birthday is coming up! I’d considered August as a name for the Fricklet, you know.
Hi Cara,
Sorry to hear your day started as badly as mine but I hope yours improved, as mine did. I have been ‘lurking’ for about a week and love your Babette … and the Bee…well what can I say.. it’s absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to see more.
Babette is lovely! Projects like these make me desperately wish I knew how to crochet!
I am loving Babette to the point of considering putting up with doing crochet just to have one of my own! Can’t wait to see more!
Copy that, Mar. I came here to comment that I’m having severe crochet envy and desire. Babette got me dizzay!!
that will be such a gorgeous blanket. and thanks to your inspiring take on it, i’ve started a mitered square blanket (well, a much smaller one…)
I just finished row 9 of Babette, I’m doing mine in Cotton Fleece, check it out on Ravelry.
