Temperature blanket – the beginning
Having worked with three round grannies for the last two years I’m found it difficult to get into a rhythm this year.
Gone!
February is now well established. The freshness of the New Year is over and we are thankfully able to look forward to spring. It hasn’t been a springlike weekend here, though, with unwarranted snow, something that is very rare here.

Full details are now available in a different format. Let me know if you have any questions.
You can also find the link via Ravelry.
Another blog post coming soon.

Today is the first day of the#100rainbowsquares CrochetAlong.
Those of you that followed me on Facebook will know that I love leading projects like this and most previous challenges have been art or fabric based. It isn’t a conventional CrochetAlong as there is scope for your own interpretation too, but it is guided. It’s an opportunity to trust yourself, and, I suppose, trust me too!

Monday is almost here, and the first of 100 granny squares will be made. I’ve auditioned a few colours, and these are my first choice
However, this isn’t a sample of the intended first square, rather an experiment to see how they look together. Continue reading “Are you joining me?”
