Week 21 Buttons, Bavarian, Mandala's & More!!

Chard

Meet Chard!
I made him for my friends up the road at Goldhill Organics
Isn't he just adorable?

Buttons 

I love them & when I was teaching at Sparrow UK this week I saw these lovely buttons 


Beautifully presented


And too good to undo


So I decided to turn them into wall art


In my classroom


And they look FAB

Mandala's


My pupils have gone Mandala Mad


These are just 2 of the ones made this week



Shaftesbury


One of my pupils AR brought this amazing bag to show off - isn't it lovely?  It's from Lucy - Attic 24 and is just adorable.

To think she couldn't crochet a few months ago & hates or maybe I should change that to dislikes to crochet in colour!  Maybe I have been a Rainbow influence on her??

We also practiced Basketweave stitch


Which turned out rather well I thought


Bavarian Crochet Workshop

On Saturday 31st May, 6 pupils attended my All Day Bavarian Crochet Workshop

These are both made in DK, but look at the difference tension makes to the size!


Understanding the pattern can be a little tricky


As there are lots of "clusters" and decreases to contend with


But once you get the hang of it


It's not only therapeutic, but addictive too!


And fun of course




Other FAB crochet work to show you

One of my pupils made this flower in DMC and gave it to me to put on my favourite dog walking hat, which I have done and it looks GREAT!

This is the latest update on the Triangles blanket


FE made a necklace inspired by the new Crochet book by DK Publishing
This is a really good book, so well put together & with some great photo's and of course patterns by a lot of amazingly talented designers.

Another WIP by JP - loving it so far


This lady was chuffed to bits when she made her first round of a Granny Square


BP has made this lovely cushion cover


And a baby hat which was whisked off to Australia


That's it from me this week hookers!
