I bought quite a few crochet throws and other crafty items back with me from our USA visit last year.
The first picture is the one I bought there....beautifuly made and a funky colour selection.....this is what attracted me to it.The following pics are what I am working on.
I found a pattern amoungst the hunderds that I have to make one.....so simple....I do simple in crochet as I get too bored if it's complicated then of course I end up never completing the project.
I have bought just a couple of new balls of wool but I am intending using what stash I have in my home to do this. Then I am going to have a go at a granny square blanket, I've lots of different patterns that I could use for that too....just need to find the one that fits with how I like to crochet! Also very tempted to do Sarah Londons crochet wool eating blanket. Might have a little practice on this one too!

I like the colours you've chosen for your 'mile a minute'.
ReplyDeleteSo, looking at the pictures, do you make up separate strips, then crochet the strips together?
cheers

Hi Fi
ReplyDeleteYes another border goes around each strip, then another border then whip stitch em all up! However......I've put this little project to one side as I have yet anohter pattern up my sleeve! Hexagons....how many types are there to do! Also seen two other things I want to do ....I need to get a grip!
I just wanted to say hi and thank you for stopping by my blog! Looking forward to having a good read of your posts :)
