Well I'm still crocheting and my projects are getting bigger- not me although I do seem to spend a LOT of time sitting with my hook in my hand!
First up inspired by Lucy at Attic24 I decided to get some Rico Essentials DK yarn and knit up a stash bag:
It was a large project and took about a week (which is an age for me!!) but I really enjoyed going round in Double Crochet (that's Treble in UK crochet speak!) as it builds up quickly and it was easy to get into a rhythm!
Lucy's Blog and Pattern for the bag are HERE
I made some flowers for the bag and had fun looking up crochet flower patterns I used this lovely pattern HERE
Here are some of the links I found on my travels looking for crochet flower patterns:
Crochet Flowers & Leaves by Lucy
Lucy's Attic24 blog is a great source of inspiration to me, I am really enjoying reading her posts and soaking up her words of wisdom! She has a great eye for colour and luckily for those of us who are colour challenged ( I do manage to choose EVENTUALLY!!!!) she has provided us with lists of yarn types and colours that she has used and liked!
Well that's my little bit for now, next time I'll have piccies of my latest Attic24 project which I've so nearly finished and again it's a biggie!!
Happy Crafting!
Love,

Thank you for all the links, I love crocheted flowers (and my sister in law is very good at making them, so she'll love these links too :))
