I have a confession to make....
I have abandoned my hexie blanket (for the time being at least), because I had an overwhelming urge to make a granny square blanket for the living room. I was inspired by some gorgeous blankets I saw on the blog Hopscotch Lane - there is some really beautiful crochet here, using the nicest, freshest colours.
So over the past week, I have been making squares for my new blanket. I love the colours, they are like the Cath Kidston colours which seems to be a bit of a theme with me at the moment...
I also finished making my mums scarf, which is the same as the one I made for myself here. The pattern, as before, is from Inverleith...
My mum is really pleased with it, which makes me very happy. I love to make things for my lovely mum.
I have also been busy crocheting some Christmas gifts which I have enjoyed too.
What have you been crocheting this week? Chrissie and I have really enjoyed hosting the crochet-a-long and it has been great to see what others are hooking up. As before, leave a little note in the comments if you want me to link up your post to this one...
Also, if you feel like doing a little Christmas making for a fellow blogger/crafter, maybe you would like to join up for my Handmade Christmas Decoration Swap? There is still a few days left to sign up before I start pairing people up...
Some lovely crochet here...

ReplyDeleteLovely crocheting and the colors are the best and my favorite! I love when you are so motivated to start a new project and have to drop the other......my problem is getting back to them. I have many, but I love all your makings and that scarf is so bright and cheery for your mum.

Your blanket is going to look beautiful - happy hooking. I have joined in with your lovely crochet along and Clare and I are crochet twins this week x
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful colours, it's looking so pretty. Your mum's scarf is full of beautiful colour too, lovely gift :) xx
ReplyDeleteSometimes the bigger projects can leave us hankering for something else, eh? I do love what you made for your mom. Very pretty and I'm sure she will love it! Happy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteLovely granny square, I love them I haven't crochet them for a while so...maybe?
ReplyDeleteThe scarf it's lovely too.
I have been crocheting a cardigan for my little girl from a pattern of the Simply Crochet magazine, but I must have done some mistake....it's not looking right...anyway, now I am thinking granny squares :P

This is a beautiful colourful granny square Marianne, and so much better to start something new that you really want to do than keep pushing with a project that has momentarily 'gone to sleep' for you. You'll get back to that one when you feel the inclination I'm sure, but in the meantime enjoy what is making you happy - it's gorgeous! I'm glad your Mum loves her scarf - and no reason why not for it's gorgeous too. You're a very talented girl! Love, Joy xo
ReplyDeleteyour crochet is super lovely!! great colours.
ReplyDeleteim so glad you singed up to my little Christmas gift tag swap, would you be able to send me an email so that I have your email address? I think email is going to be the best way to work this out!!
