February here in Northwest Missouri was marked by numerous cold and snowy days. Fortunately, being a shorter month, it passed by quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been making progress on my 2020 and 2025 temperature blankets, and I\u2019m happy with how the colors are coming together. The pattern I chose this time has been a joy to work on! In the past, I used long rows for my temperature blankets, but they started to feel repetitive and a bit cumbersome. This time, I decided to try a different approach, and it has made the whole process so much more fun and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides my own projects, I’m making a blanket for a friend. After making blankets for her daughters in December, it’s now her turn! The design is lovely shades of pink and white in a ripple pattern. I’ll share a picture once it’s done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to try out some of the free crochet patterns I shared with you for Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>, so I made a few of those in February so you could have a picture for reference. Did you have time to make anything for yourself or loved ones?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a day off from work due to weather, and decided to crochet a couple of placemats. I used the pattern for Bulky Rustic Placemat<\/a> by Blessed and a Mess as a guide. I didn\u2019t have any bulky yarn, so I used two strands of Lion Brand Comfy Cotton Blend in the color Cloud Nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

February 2025 was a blur for me, was it like that for you? I’m looking forward to new crochet projects in March and even more excited for Spring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for stopping by today – I always appreciate sharing these updates with you! Share your February projects in the comments here or on my Facebook page. Take care, and I\u2019ll see you again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
