CROCHET AND PATCHWORK


Oh dear! I have not kept up to date with the weekly link up of The Art of Gentle Domesticity but I am still enjoying the book. I have been crocheting and stitching and love the progress of my little quilt.  I have been inspired to make a smaller one and have everything prepared ready to start any time. Here is my progress of the current one. 8 rows stitched and the 1st 2 rows pieced together.



I am not happy with the crocheted baby blanket as I don't really like the sheen of the yarn and it doesn't look as nice as the Stylecraft Special DK  . I was going to cease crocheting this one but I have decided to keep going and see what it looks like when I add the borders. There are 4 new colours coming in the SSDK yarn and 3 of them will look lovely for a baby blanket so I am thinking of purchasing them when they are released . If you want a sneak peek you can visit Attic 24 where Lucy introduces them.


I finished another book by one of my favourite Australian authors.



Angel  Blessings.

  2. Your little blocks are amazing. I think your blanket is lovely but you have to be happy with it. Did you enjoy the book?

DONE!

My grandson's crosstitch was finished last night so it is ready to iron and frame. I haven't framed my own crosstitches for decades ...
