A week later!

I spent Friday, a week since my last day at work, having a very active day! I cycled to the Garden Centre through the smallholdings, taking in the country air, sun shining the horses neighing and birds singing along the way


Once home I decided to cancel my hair appointment (shock horror) and go to the allotment instead
see http://www.alithefrog.blogspot.com/ for the rest of the epic about my 2 and a half hours of digging!

That left me pooped, and once home, I took the dogs Scooby & Perdie out of for their walk, had a Radox bath, cooked dinner and just sat in front of the telly fearing that I would be all achey and stiff tomorrow.  I didn't even have the energy to make even one Granny Square!!

However on Saturday, I got up, didn't feel any aches and pains, and got crocheting again!

Yippeee!

As the Green or Pampas had arrived, I thought I better get some green squares done,
so here's one of them - difficulty = level 1

I felt as though I had enough Granny Squares to be getting on with, so out came the Crochet Squares Bible

And I got all excited at the thought of having 200 squares (well not quite as I have already made a few) to choose from!

So I gave the book to my husband and he chose Wisteria, difficulty = level 2


Next I chose this one which is called Lacy Wheel - it will need a bit of stretching or pining out
difficulty = level 1

And my final effort was the King Pin which is a level 3!!


I added the terrocotta edging to the flower petals myself, as I thought that it would make the flower stand out more, due to my colour combination.  I like the way this one has turned out!

  3. I think you can make a round of single crochets (double crochets in England/Australia) on the Lacey square. Good job there, and the book is nice. I don't have that one... yet (? haha!)

  4. I agree with the terracotta edging to the flower piece, it certainly does match the flower and make it stand out more, you clever thing!
