Day 30 - Hoopla Yarn

Day 30 already and here is the Granny Square Blanket / A Square A Day blanket so far!

As you can see I have used a NEW colour today - this rather startling but lovely pink.

I have also "TWEETED" that I need 7ft of Acrylic DK yarn and I have had several Tweets back to say that yarn is on the way - Hooray!

And now for Hoopla!

It's a yarn that's made from by products of the fashion industry, so each bobbin may have a slighty different thickness and it pre cut and wound onto bobbins like this!

I ordered 3 variations of the Pop Art Range & using a 12 mm hook and 2 bobbins I made this unique rug

Which is going to have pride of place in my guest bedroom.

So one more bobbin to go - what to make next is the question!

Day 29, More Crochet Lessons & Hoopla!

The Intermediates today made these lovely colour change flat circles in treble crochet

I love the colours they have used

In our lesson we covered Back Post & Front Post Trebles, Back Loop & Front Loop Doubles and Standing DC and TR stitches.

And then the post arrived!

HooplaYarn - 3 varities of colour combinations which I can't wait to get started on

And as you can see, neither could my beginners class in the afternoon - they all had a go with HooplaYarn and a 12 mm hook!!

This was thier homework - working in the round, in preparation for working on Granny Squares today (which I forgot to take a photograph of)

And finally is Day 29 Square

It's a lovely grey / green flecked yarn with I "borrowed" from one of my intermediates, along with about 7 other strands of colours that I don't already have!

So my plan is working and I have been nick named the "magpie"

The other great news from today is that 90% of my students want to return for EXTRA Crochet lessons once this 4 week course finishes next week!!
