It's Thursday again, and time for a little update on the crochet-a-long with myself and Chrissie. Last week it was lovely to see the gorgeous crochet which others are working on too...
I am afraid, that I have very little hexie blanket progress to share this week, only 2 more hexies have been made...
Giving a grand total of...three! A poor effort, I know. The pattern is from the gorgeous Cute & Easy Crochet With Flowers by Nicki Trench.
However, I have been making little squares for my pink and white spring time throw which I mentioned here. These small squares are quick and simple to make and I have been crocheting them in the evenings whilst catching up on a little television...
I now have 72 of these squares...only 360 more to go! I suspect that this will not be finished until well into next year!
I have also been working on some crochet for Christmas gifts which I am enjoying very much. I am hoping to make quite a few Christmas gifts for people, certainly for the females I need gifts for, the males on the list are always a bit more tricky!
If you would like to join in the crochet-a-long, you are very welcome and if you want me to add a link to your post at the end of this one, just leave a little note in the comments...
Some more crochet from these lovely ladies...

Your Hexagon flowers are just so pretty, I started making a Srping time throw too, but this week, I've decided to used the yarn for another project as I was never getting around to making the squares. Here's a 'crochet along' link to my post. Clare xx

Even if progress on the hexies is slow, you have more than you did, so that has to be a good thing, and your little squares are progressing well! I didn't think that I would be able to link along with the CAL, but, I realised I can! So, here is my link - not sure if I am supposed to do something else?

The hexies and the squares are all looking very pretty. Progress is progress. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your hexies, I am starting the Christmas trail too making snowflakes but I am nearly at the end of a hot water bottle cover (man??) and I am writing a crochet pattern for a man's hat but it is still scribbled all over the place. I will put my thinking cap on. Jo x
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the hexies are very pretty. Slow and steady wins the race! Happy for you to join me to the list. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking your hexie blanket - lovely colour choices. Sounds like you've been very productive with all your pressie makes too - looking forward to seeing those at some point. x
ReplyDeleteYour flower hexies are beautiful ... the blanket will be so pretty ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteI think you are making great progress on your hexies, especially since you are working on other projects too. The hexies are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a LOT of squares, good luck.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Your sweet little pink and white squares are coming along a treat Marianne so you're doing well to work beautiful hexes as well for there are only so many hours in the day. I'm thinking Christmas gifts now too with makings - it'll be here in no time!!!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs, Joy xo

I am thinking of joining in, I have always wanted to try the african flower motif....I think it would be more fun in a CAL :)
ReplyDeleteYour granny squares for your springtime throw are going to look great together!
Those hexies are gorgeous! I can imagine they take a while to make, they look very intricate, but beautifully done. x
