On the hook



I have lots of projects on the go at the moment....so what's new?! 

Unfortunately my previous round crocheted cushion met a sad end when lots of the stitching looked to have been unpicked by someone  Nobody has admitted to it though!  So I have started making the blooming flower cushion from the wonderful Attic24 blog (link in my sidebar). I can honestly say that I'm loving every single stitch. I'm using sort of ice cream colours which are my colours of choice at the moment. The yarn is mainly Stylecraft Special DK with some other oddments from my stash. 




I also have this hexagon blanket on the go which has a very similar colour scheme to the cushion above. Yip I really love these colours at the moment! This blanket is going to be for my daughter. The pattern is from the book Granny Squares by Susan Pinner which I'm sure I've said before, is an absolutely fantastic book and I've used lots of the patterns in my projects. 




My little basket has lots of bits of projects in it at the moment...two colourful cushion covers, a starburst blanket with only a few squares done and a colourful granny blanket. All projects which are easy to dip in and out of and just do a little bit here and there.




Lastly I have this little striped baby blanket which admittedly is almost finished. I just have the ends to sew in and a little embellishment to add. This blanket is made using rows of dc and I love the texture of it.



So lots of projects on the go! I find it impossible to stick to only one at a time. Maybe I have a short attention span?! I'm not sure but I just love having lots of projects to choose from depending on my mood. 

Do you have lots of WIPs on the go at the one time or do you finish each project before starting another?

Until next time...

    I love those hexies too, Susan Pinner is from Shropshire so she is really local to me. I always have lots on the go too - sewing, crochet and knitting because I just don't know what I will be in the mood for next! Jo

    I love your colour palette; so summery. I tend to have a few projects on the go at any one time, but usually only one of each kind - one knitting, one sewing etc. Can I join in with the hexie love?! xx

    Ice cream colours is a very good description. I usually have a big and a small project on the go for variety. I once had four projects on the go but the thought of all those unfinished things made me panicky. The memory of that stops me casting on more even when I am really tempted.

    Loving the cushion and all of your colour choices - you have a very distinctive palette. My daughter has just asked me to make her a blanket so we went to buy yarn the other day (Stylecraft) in hot pinks and lots of bright colours :) x

    The cushion and blanket are so pretty, all the colours go together perfectly. I'm ashamed to say I have masses of unfinished bits and keep on finding them, but I'll use your term WIPs, it makes it sound much better!

    Loving the colours you are using. I always have loads of projects on the go, not all of them crochet. It's like a new challenge/idea arrives on the scene and I drop what I'm doing to start something new. I can't blame the likes of Pinterest as I was like this before I had a computer.

    I was just telling my husband about my attention span problems. I want to do all of the creative things at the same time and struggle to focus! Love your projects and the colors you are using.

    You have such a distinct colour palate, and I love how those colours make you so happy. I have two long term WIPs on the go right now but will think nothing of throwing them to one side while I start some shorter ones. I think it's good to mix it up a bit. xx
