| This one? |
Well I have been crocheting like mad, and I am now adding rows and rows and rows!
I also thought that I would take a few pictures, but I didn't know if you'd like

| ...Or this one? |
Best so I thought I would put them both on!
Remember the Granny Blanket? Well that is hanging on the balcony to "stretch" it a little, and now that the wool shop has called me to say more stocks are now in, I can get back to making some more squares!
All I need to do now is wait for my lovely husband to take me down to the shop!

He did take me to the Garden Centre today, so that I could buy some seed pods (the larger type) for planting on my Tomatoes, which I will blog about later on http://www.alithefrog.blogspot.com/
hello lovey, yes i have started crocheting! and it's all your fault! i used to crochet when i was a little girl and never kept anything - prolly didnt do much and had no idea how to start. since i've been reading your blog i was thinking i needed to start something practical and creative when i finished my studies. well i finished my NVQ with flying colours (10 A's out of 10!) last week, so on saturday i went out and bought a 'how to guide'. it's called "stitch 'n' bitch crochet - the happy hooker" lol had to buy the book just cos of the name ha haa! since then i have done 12 samples from single crochet, to jacquard, to circles and granny squares. i'm not confident to start any project yet - not like yours! and of course in a couple of weeks time i wont have ANY time to do anything but at least i have made a start. i have also found a couple of techniques i might be able to transfer to my jewellery making, so it's been quite a revelation! very excited about it all. about to go and do some 'blocking' big whoop lol
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteWell done on your NVQ & I can see why you need another project to do now that you have climbed that mountain!! You have to keep going don't you?
I am honoured that I have inspired you to Crochet again. I found that book you mention on Amazon the other day, and was tempted to buy it but I will put it on my wish list!!
I have also seen a book on crochet jewellery in Waterstones using thin wire instead of wool - looked great!!
Good luck with it and hope you start a blog on your achievements

I can barely believe the size of your blanket, wow!!
ReplyDeleteTee hee Mary, what has Ali done to us!! I now have a grand total of 12 squares that I am starting to fix together. I haven't got an allotment but the spuds did go in to the veg patch last weekend... xxLLxx
