I'm doing a crochet along with Inner Hooker on facebook aka Scotti, see also http://oxfordfam.blogspot.com/ . We're at the end of the first two weeks. It's the first time I've joined in with anything like it and I'm loving it.
So as to my progress- I'm pretty happy with it so far... I now need to lay them out on our bed to take a photo rather than on the settee- I know it's a strange way to mark progress- but I've never claimed to be conventional!
The Field of Flowers granny is my first ever attempt at being random and is therefore quite therapeutic. I am struggling with the lack of a repeating pattern- it means I'm actually constantly having to think about making sure no one colour combination dominates any area- that's harder than I thought it would be- I find myself almost wanting to plan it out- aaarh!
My other granny is the opposite- just four colours and a very controlled pattern- sets of 7 hexagons which I will join with surface crochet when they are all done. I had to get more wool today and managed to match 3 of the colours but not the fourth so I have to hope I have enough... I'm sure a solution will present itself if necessary...
I have two boxes on the go, one for each granny, here's the coffee one...
I discovered that I like crocheting in the car in the summer. During the 6 hour drive from Bodmin to Liverpool I made the arms, legs, muzzle and ears for this little fellow...
I made another little cutie during that trip too.
Anyway time to crochet beckons,
So until next time

Your Blankets look fantastic. I hope you don’t mind but I have a few questions for you. I was wondering how many yards of yarn you bought for each blanket? Also how big do you think the blanket will be when you are done? I was also wondering how many squares you are going to make for the blanket? I know I tend to be a little overwhelming however, I have tried to find these answers out on the internet and I am not having any luck. Any advice you have would be awesome too. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren, First thanks for reading my blog. I don't mind questions at all but as you asked what I've been asked elsewhere I did a new blog post for it - Details- http://creativeserendipity-gmg.blogspot.com/2011/09/details.html .
