I'm on a crochet mission!
Two years ago I had an idea to crochet blankets for my neices for Christmas, and now i'm hooked on hooking! I love that crochet grows quickly and you can picture your finished product from so early on.
I'm using a square pattern from Jan Eatons 200 crochet blocks for blankets, throws and afgans. It's called Willow and very easy to remember after doing it a handfull of times.
So what am I making? Well it's a throw for my bed, and it's made using Rowan, Cotton Glace, in the most gorgeous colours.
My names for them are, light blue, dark blue, navy, silver, gold, cream, light brown and dark brown. They are actually, chalk, skye, nightshade, dawn grey, persimmon, ecru, oyster and umber!
They really work so well together and will add a calming fresh look to my new 'decluttered', 'simple' bedroom.
So far I have completed 42 squares and only have about 150 to go. I did want them all to be unique but having to use 3 colours per square, I think that may be a bit tough!
Be sure to check back on the 26th of May when I give a status report and more YUMMY photos :)
Thanks for visiting!
