Project 22 - African Flower Squares

I loved this pattern the minute I saw it and wanted to make it.

 

I used some left over balls of wool I had in my stash.

I hate joining the squares, but found a decent tutorial on you tube to make them sit flat, using the crochet around each square method.

I'm really happy with this one!

Project 21 - Precious Square Baby Blanket

I saw this pattern in Ravelry and really liked it.  It worked up really well.

Project 20 - Green Poles

It's been a while since I've posted any of my projects. No excuse. I've found a whole bunch of groups on Facebook and have been looking at some amazing projects people are making from all over the world - and I have so much to aspire to!

Anyway, here's another baby blanket - I really love this stitch and these colours work well (I think).
Pierre seems pretty happy with it too!

It's off to the Shellharbour Hospital Ladies auxiliary 

Project 19 - Honeycomb - Musk, White and Beige

This one is from the archive - I really enjoyed making this - it didn't take to long and the honeycomb look with the stripes is effective (I think!).  I should make another one similar to this in the near future....

I really love the edging of this too.  Different to the regular shell design I do - keeping in line with the geometric look... 

Project 18 - Using some donated wool

This wool came from the ladies at the Shellharbour Ladies Auxilary, it's always difficult to know what designs to use - as most balls are different ply and/or different dye lots.  I'm pretty happy with both of them, although they're a little small.  I imagine them being used for lap rugs in aged care.

What's in my craft bag?

Scrunched 

Corner and edging - I think it looks smart.

Whole rug on my floor. You can see the different colours more obviously here.

What would my post be without at least one shot with Pierre... 

Whoops. I ran out of the maroon, pink and grey and the rug was still too small, so I used some spare white at both edges to make it bigger.  In hindsight I should have used white throughout, but I think it looks kind of OK.

I'm back making some baby blankets with purchased wool now, and should have more to show you soon!

Oh BTW, I've started a Facebook page, drop by and like my page! Love to see any projects you're working on there...
