Bloomin' Crochet-A-Long!

Welcome to the Bloomin' Crochet-A-Long with Chrissie Crafts and me! You can read all about the inspiration behind this here and here...

 

Chrissie and I have both decided to work on the beautiful Hexagon Flower Throw on pages 53-55 of Cute & Easy Crochet With Flowers...

 

 

As you can see, I have only made one hexagon so far...only 113 more to go!

However, if you want to join in, please feel free to work on ANY crochet project you wish. It is a good opportunity to finish off some WIPS, but if you fancy doing a new and quick little project, do pop over to Chrissie's blog where she shares a gorgeous little pattern from the book.

We are planning to post each Thursday with our progress. It would be lovely if some of you would join us and also share what you have been crocheting, however often you want.

 

 

I am making this throw for Miss M's room as she has informed she would like some more blankets because she is now collecting them?! I am using all yarn from my stash to begin with...

 

 

So I have my tea and cinnamon bun ready - always lovely companions to a morning of crochet - and am planning to work up a few more of these little hexagons.

 

These lovely ladies are also joining in with some gorgeous crochet...

Primroses and Petticoats

Happy crocheting....

  23. What a gorgeous blanket and I love your colour choices as always. I'm still trying to find a copy of the book in the shops so i can have a good look at it before I buy. I have to finish my quilt challenge though before I can start anything new - it has to be handed in next month! x
