Mainly bees……….

Not a lot to show you this week. I was going to work on my seahorses but I seem to have mislaid one! I know I saw it somewhere recently but can’t remember where. So I finished a floor cloth since I thought it would last longer than the shop sort and I believe on… Read More Mainly bees……….

Pineapples everywhere!

I am aware that these photographs were taken and processed rather quickly as I am a bit short for time. Patricia over at Daniella Joe’s blog was interested in pineapple patterns so I thought I would share the ones I have. They were obviously very popular in the past. These are from two books that… Read More Pineapples everywhere!

My latest Rainbow project

This is a very special project that has been on my mind since the early days of my blog. Once I was comfortable with crochet, I knew that I wanted to make something to go on my dining table. The early thoughts were actually fairly monochrome but one day I saw this rug – http://vi.sualize.us/pdf_pattern_hexagon_rug_available_in_english_and_spanish_yo-yo_spiral_crochet_stripe_picture_C1BQ.html… Read More My latest Rainbow project

The finished Flower Cloth

At last I have finished my Flower Cloth. Had a lot of trouble with the photographs as the light has been so low. It’s brightening up now but I think these will do. Luckily my camera will take pictures at a twentieth of a second that are usable. Here is the cloth as it will… Read More The finished Flower Cloth

Flower Cloth update

Life these days hasn’t been all about Rachel’s CAL. Apart from the monthly challenge, I have also been working on my flower cloth. And I have now finished the central part. Because crochet is so stretchy it was surprisingly difficult to spread it out on the carpet so as to have it exactly square. However… Read More Flower Cloth update

Yay! I’ve finished a sock for me!

Here is the first of the socks I am making for myself. I could maybe have cast off even more loosely but it fits and is so lovely and soft. And of course I also love the muted rainbow colours. I have started on the second one and with luck it might be finished by… Read More Yay! I’ve finished a sock for me!

WIP, a Problem and a question

I have finished the first of the white socks. I don’t know whether it is adequate to the purpose and I have discovered that these long white socks with turnovers are available on the web. You just have to search for ‘kilt hose’ instead of ‘knee length socks’ or indeed any sort of ‘socks’. I… Read More WIP, a Problem and a question

Devising a Flower cloth

This time I decided to use my own patterns. When I thought about what I might do when I had finished my hexagon blanket, I decided that what I could do with was a cloth to cover the table in the guest room/study. The room’s main colour is green, so that together with my love… Read More Devising a Flower cloth
