Crochet Gifts

When my dear nephew, Michael got engaged to a lovely girl, Nicky, I crocheted some sachets in thread for a shower gift. I placed little sponges inside them, and I included some essential oils to scent them. It's my own design, and I was aiming for a vintage look.

I also crocheted a blanket for the two of them. Nicky's favorite color is blue, so I went to my old-standby favorite for afghans, Lion Brand Tweed Stripes in the color Caribbean with its gorgeous hues of blues and purples. 

 

I crocheted it diagonally from corner to corner in a box stitch to show off the tweedy blend of colors. The wedding was last Saturday, and I know they will be living happily ever after!
