Day #34 Granny A Day & Next Project

Yes this is my next project!

I don't normally crochet garments but the last top that I made

(This is it from yesterdays' post)

has me hooked!!

So I hot footed it to the wool shop this morning only to be told that I can't buy SIRDAR Luxury Cotton as they don't make it anymore so I bought 4 balls of Patons 100% Cotton 4ply instead - it cost me £22.20

I have made a start on the motifs

They are fun to make!  These are all 7 patterns and I have to make 16 to 18 of each one!

Here is GAD No. 34

Day #33 GAD & Project Finished!!

Do you remember this top I had started the other day?

It's from the Cotton Crochet (SIRDAR) Pattern Book

Well I have finished mine!!

I love it!!

I made a few more rows than the pattern advised as I wanted it to be more of a Beach Top / Cover Up than a T-Shirt and I have to face facts - if I had a body like the model in the picture I would have made it shorter !! 

LOL

I think I mentioned that I made this from Rowan Cotton Tape and not the recommended SIRDAR Luxury Soft Cotton DK - however there are more patterns in the book, so I might head to the wool shop tomorrow and get some in, so I can make another one this weekend!

What else did I do today?

Well I made sure that my Crochet Class Page is up to date

& I added this picture to the page and also to my 

Crochet Class Website

www.gethookedoncrochet.co.uk

And of course I made GAD No.33 in plain white.  I was writing out a new pamphlet for my Crochet Classes on Making A Plain Granny & I wanted to check and double check the pattern, so I followed than and out came No. 33

And here are all 33 Squares together.

Granny A Day # 21 + Grab A Button!

Before I get started on the Crochet bits and bobs, I would just like to let you know about a new page that I have created, especially for all of you Crochet Loving Bloggers!

Just Click Here

Or click on the 

Grab A Crochet Button For Free Page Tab above

Hope you like them & if you have any suggestions or requests just let me know!

I also combed Twitter and Blogger for Granny A Day photo's and added them to the Granny A Day 2012 page - which I will go back to later today and again tomorrow and create a Collage to "celebrate" the end of Week 3 as Week 4 starts tomorrow!!

Now for Granny A Day 21 - I used my Glass Crochet Hook made by the 

Knit Glass Guy (see yesterday's post)

to make Granny No. 21

And here it is - the middle is a multi colour wool - the one that I used for my Draught Excluder Cosy

Then I used a Lime Green left over from my Filofax cover

& some Purple - I am not sure where that came from or was used for!!

I then decided to dedicate a new Crochet Covered pot to my lovely glass crochet hooks

I know it's a big pot for just 2 hooks but they deserve it

In fact I went as far as to line the pot - bottom and sides with some special wrap

so that they don't clunk and chip when I pull them out or when I put them back in

Back to my Granny Squares

At the moment they are big enough to drape on the back of my chair in my room 

This is the room from where I Crochet, Blog and Create

I call it my "Hobbies" room

Did you notice the Amigurumi mobile hanging from my door handle......

.....and the Rainbow Draught Excluder at the back of the picture?
