Hello! And apologies for the lateness of this weeks CAL post...I have been working the past two days and am only just getting a chance to do a little blogging.
To be honest, I haven't had a lot of time for crochet or any crafting this week as I was working all weekend too and unfortunately, the couple of days off I had were mainly filled with household chores!
Anyway...I am still making my appliqué blanket which I talked about here. The applique part is now finished and I have been adding a pretty little crochet border using some nice soft green cotton DK my lovely mum gave me. It was so very nearly finished....but I ran out of yarn! I will have to purchase some more really soon because my Miss M is keen for me to finish this little project as she has her eye on it!
What crochet have you been working on this week? As always, just leave a little note in the comments if you would like me to add a link to your post here.
Lovely crochet here...

That is a lovely border. I've been edging a couple of washcloths and trying out some different styles and this one is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful border, can't wait to see it all laid out!
ReplyDeleteI've been working on several things this past week, A hexagon blanket, potholders, bunny dresses for my spring bunnies(which I will be posting about soon). I don't mind sharing if you would like to add another link to your list!

Very pretty edging, no wonder your little one has her eye on it! Hope you find the yarn quickly and finish this lovely blanket! Enjoy the weekend, hope you get a little more time! Chrissie xxx
ReplyDeleteSo that's why you were collecting pictures of edging on Pinterest! I'm really into pink and green combinations at the moment so I love your choices. x
ReplyDeleteHello Lovely Marianne I love the colours of your work and cannot wait to see it all together. After finishing the hot water bottle cover I am keen to start something new soon - however work keeps getting in the way! I am thinking of a blanket but not sure my crochet is up to this yet. Have a lovely weekend Marianne and try and have some rest if you can. Big hug Marianne, lots of love

No crochet for me either. My weeks sounds like yours! The crochet edge to your pillow looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!

It sounds like you've been super busy. I hope this weekend at work is kind to you. I love what you've done with the edging of this blanket it is going to look lively finished. So annoying when we run out if yarn. Sending much love xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! I love crochet edgings. I really love the color you're using. I'm crocheting some flowery squares lately, but slowly. I'm trying to stop rushing my projects and savor them more.
ReplyDeleteI just love the colour of that edging. I added a crochet edge to some towels last year and it held up remarkably well, all things considered. x
