Now for more Crochet News:
Do take a look at this fantastic blog post by Vicky
It's all about Granny Squares & includes my bag!
In class today, we also finished off KPK's scarf which she is making from Erika Knights "Crochet Workshop" book
There was a slight twist though as I suggested that instead of sewing one seam to the other that we tried a Join as you Go method which worked very well! She also decided to finish of the edge with a simple chain & sl st in this lovely "meadow green"
And finally...
