After both receiving copies of Nicki Trench's gorgeous new book, Cute & Easy Crochet with Flowers, lovely Chrissie of Chrissie Crafts and I decided to organise a little crochet-a-long. As the nights are starting to draw in, it seems the perfect time to cosy up with a new crochet project or to finish off a work in progress, and then share what we have all been doing on our blogs...
This book is just lovely and it has been really difficult to chose a project, but Chrissie and I have both decided to do the hexagon throw. However, there are lots of smaller projects too and Chrissie has more exciting news about this and a giveaway too, do visit her blog here for more details...
I know a few of you have the book already and Claire has already completed a gorgeous little project from it here.
It would be fabulous if some of our bloggy friends would join us in our little crochet-a-long! There is a little button, designed by Chrissie, which you can add to your blog if you wish to join in. We aim to start next week, at the beginning of the month. Exciting stuff...

Do we have to do a project from the book? I don't have the book yet. But a crochet-along sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer
DeleteYou can work on any project that you wish! I will be working on one from the book and probably a few others too as I find it impossible to only have one crochet project on the go at a time!

Such a good idea I love you're Roses and Leaves, I've been making Roses this afternoon too, thanks for the link to my daisy pin cushion.

Love the blanket, you are going to have such inspiration from your new book and your CAL. I still have a he xi baby blanket to finish, it has been in time out since Spring.
ReplyDeleteHugs and good luck,
Meredith
I don't have the book or anymore minutes in my day but I will definitely enjoy sitting back and watching you ladies create lovely things. Jo x
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your finished blanket, sadly I can't grasp crochet! XX
ReplyDeleteThe CAL is a great idea Marianne, but, whilst I would love to 'join up', I'm really feeling that I can't commit to anything else at the moment. Have lots of fun and I'll enjoy watching out for everyone's lovely WIPs.
ReplyDeleteAll the very best with it!
Warm hugs, Joy xo
I'm really looking forward to seeing what else you make from the book as I haven't decided whether to buy it or not yet. My quilting addiction is back in full force at the moment though so all I can dream of is thread and fabric :) x
ReplyDeleteSo, I haven't got the book but after seeing beautiful things on both yours and Chrissie's blog I think you may have persuaded me! Amazon, here I come! Thanks x
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could join in but I've been suffering from repetitive strain injury from all the crochet I did over the summer months. But it's a great idea and I hope that lots of people join in with it. Best of luck.

This sounds wonderful Marianne and yes I would love to join in. I might not be that dedicated until January as I preparing for stall at the end of the year, but I will use it to finish things for that, if thats ok. Love your little display, it looks so very pretty! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello lovely Hannapat! It would be lovely if you would join in and yes, absolutely feel free to work on anything you wish! No pressure to do a project from the book. Anything goes!

ReplyDeletemmm the crochet book looks good :) and the crochet-a-long sounds good too! nothing more pleasant than cosing up with a projects :)

Hello sounds like a fun idea. I've left a comment on Chrissies blog saying I'd like to join and dip in and out I have a few projects that need finishing. Have a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeleteI think this is a fabulous idea. I am joining in but am working on my WIPS instead of the blanket from the book x x
