Bloomin' Crochet-A-Long

 

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...

  14. Hello 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

  24. It'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.

  25. I 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
