Volcanoes Around the World

I started following some volcano related YouTube channels in August of 2024, during one of the eruptions close to Grindavik on Iceland. It is fascinating to see the powers of nature, and how it changes the landscape.

Crocheted Blue and White Striped Newbie Blanket

This blue and white striped blanket was one of my first crochet projects. After seeing others creations online, I decided to pick up crocheting in summer of 2022. With the help of some YouTube videos, it took about a week to learn the basic stitches. It ended up taking longer to complete because I took a break during summer, and there were times when I had to wait for yarn. In total, it took about one year to finish, breaks not included. I could have probably used a little larger hook, but I didn't know it at the time.

• Worsted yarn: Lauri by Kehrä (75% wool, 25% polyester)
• Hook size: 5,5 mm
• Measure: 150 cm x 210 cm (59" x 79")
• Worked on: 2022-Nov-01 - 2024-Feb-24 (breaks included)

Crocheted Speedy Gray Blanket

This was the second blanket I crocheted. The border was made using single crochet stitches.

• DK yarn: 2½ skeins of Big Verona (200 g) by Järbo Garn (100% acrylic)
• Hook size: 6 mm
• Measure: Approx. 80 cm x 105 cm (31" x 41")
• Worked on: 2023-Dec-29 - 2024-Feb-01

Crocheted Deep Sea Infinity Scarf

This deep sea infinity scarf was crocheted using two, or three skeins of worsted Sport yarn by Falkgarn. 70% wool, 25% polyester. I thought this variegated yarn was mostly used when knitting socks, but it worked for this, too. I completed it on December 22, 2023.
