AJuff Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) I can't stop crocheting!!! Easter holidays are here and I cannot stop. I am making a flower blanket with rose and daisy squares. It looks lovely with colours from this collection . . . http://www.woolaballoo.com/knitting-yarns/biggan-design/64-shades-of-dk-8-ply-merino-first-cross.html The pattern is from Crocheted Throws and Wraps - Griffiths, Melody New Book. It has 99 squares and I've crocheted 15 since Friday . . kids are working out how long it will be before it's on the family room sofa!!!

Am doing a square (or two) an evening from **this book** Ahh, that book has been on my Amazon wishlist since before christmas, but despite being listed as high priority, the menfolk in my family keep ignoring it!!! Might have to drop some bigger hints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 The 200 square book is the one I asked for for my birthday in March. Noone bought me it so I took it upon myself to buy it. I really like the idea of crocheting a Christmas blanket . . . .I'll finish this one first though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The 200 block book was out of stock for ages. It took around 2 months to arrive, fromthe day I placed my order. Well worth the wait. Was browsing your book recommendation earlier, AJuff, and I accidentally pressed the 1 click button. Tarnation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I guess that book purchase was all my fault Egluntyne? I'm always crocheting - I find iteasier to do when Poppy cat is awake & wild. I was crocheting in the caravan at he weekend - so therapeutic & quick growing. I adore that wool - I shall be ordering a few balls I think it's scrumdiddlyumptious! mmm mmm mmmmm.
