Saving Rare Breeds - Raffle Prize 2011 is Finished!!

Yes, it's come to an end! 10 squares by 10 squares - so 100 crochet squares lovingly created in total and each one totally different to the next. I put a ruffled treble crochet border to the edges to complete the "finished look" If you would like to own this blanket then look out for the 2011 Saving Rare Breeds raffle 2011 on this site - www.savingrarebreeds.org.uk Here are some of the squares.....

That took a lot of time to create......

With the border featured.......

And having used the joining seams on top, rather than on the bottom as another feature!

The Waterlilly. What am I going to do next??

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!
