More Squares

Yes, the blanket consists of 64 squares so far and they are about 20cm in size.  I have just completed another row and another set of 3 which I am rather pleased with.....

I especially like this last one!

Fame At Last

This article was in Knit Today Magazine and was kindly sent to me by the lady also featured in this article, who also crocheted squares for this good cause.

They said that I knitted mine, but I will confirm now that all mine were crocheted - all 57 of them !

Another Row Added.....

I have managed to crochet another 8 squares, well 9 actually, but I have added 8 to the blanket.  If you don't already know, this is being made for a good cause - the Saving Rare Breeds Raffle which will take place in June 2011 - http://www.savingrarebreeds.org.uk/

Please take a look at their website and if you can support this fantastic cause by buying some Raffle tickets once they become available.  Who knows this blanket, when it's finished, and it will be in time for the Raffle, could be yours and p.s. pass the link on to your friends too!!

This is my favourite square, as I finally managed to master the art of the bobble!

And some more squares from this latest row.

And some more....

It's growing!!

Just to let you all know that i do a few squares here and there and when I can, and the blankets growing and on schedule for the Raffle Prize in June!!

I am loving the colours - are you?

I was very lucky to win one of the fantastic raffle prizes in their 2010 raffle this year, so I have offered to crochet a throw / blanket for their Summer 2011 Raffle.

Inspired by the colours in a Tartan Rug that I have on my foot stool, I have started a few squares.......

Help For Heroes

I haven't been dormant - As you can see I have been crocheting blue squares 20cm x 20cm for the Help for Heroes appeal.

If you are interested in doing the same and you have some blue wool lying around then get crocheting!

I am still alive and kicking!!!

Yes, I have been crocheting away in the evenings and when it's not too wet to go to the allotment!  As you can see my "vintage" blanket is growing, albeit in stitches as I go along but I don't care as I like the way it looks!

 And I love the colours too!

Last week we went to the Godstone Vineyards.  It was a little dissapointing and there wine was OK.  At £12 a bottle we found it a little pricey, but I felt obliged to buy a bottle as we were the only people there on such a lovely sunny day.

We also had a night away - We went the Country Route to The Buxted Park Hotel in Uckfield (on the edge of the Ashdown Forest

The scenic views were breathtaking.

 And this is the little church just outside the Hotel grounds which is very lovely inside.
