This year, 2021, Out of the Parc Designs and the News from the Parc blog will have a new feature. A thank you to those who have helped to improve my knitting and crocheting world. The first thank you goes to Maria Weaber designer at Maria’s Blue Crayon.
Recently my daughter, T.k. Wilson, and I made the Crochet Woodland Blanket. It’s a SUPER cute pattern. I made the squares and T.k. made all the appliques. Then she sewed the entire thing together. A labor of love for a dear friend’s youngest. His bedroom is decorated in Woodland Creatures. The blanket pattern was chosen especially for little man’s room! (His mom did a great job) The Crochet Woodland Blanket is NOT the only totally adorable blanket on Maria’s website (also can be purchased through Etsy and Ravelry.). T.k. and I plan to gift the Crochet Spring Blanket in 2021. Winter can be VERY long here in the Adirondacks. Making something with a theme of Spring just gives us a little something to look forward to doesn’t it? Love those first signs of spring! Of course another sign of spring is the birth of baby animals. How CUTE is this Granny Square Farm Blanket?! Add another blanket to the “to do” list this Spring. One nice thing about the granny square patterns is that the squares can be made up at any time and set aside. They also make good take-along projects! One thing is inescapable here in the North East USA we go through a lot of hats. My family is spread out in states where snow is “a thing” as my kids say… from October to nearly May. My daughter has an obsession with handmade hats. Maria’s Blue Crayon has some super adorable hat patterns for every age. My personal favorite is the Faux Knit Hat. The look is classy and a bit different than other crochet hat patterns on the internet. I am able to knit but I am faster with a crochet hook so many of my projects are crocheted for the sake of time. The Faux Knit Hat offers the best of both worlds. Not only is Maria a fantastic designer but she’s always willing to answer questions as evidenced by her Facebook page. She’s responsive to people’s comments and is very active on that page. If you haven’t subscribed to her email list I encourage you to do so soon! Her emails update all the latest on her page. Personally, I want to thank Maria Weaber for designing with care. Also a big thanks for giving her followers as much personal attention as her schedule allows. She’s made life easier by making patterns that are easy to follow and her crochet-alongs are well worth the time. In 2021 we wish Maria and her family all the best.
