I really like all of this week’s blocks, isn’t this lovely?
6″ square – A big one!
It lies beautifully flat and even when pinned, it just needs blocking.
#68 Red, White and Blue (Pink, Blue and Green!)
5 1/4″-5 3/4″ ho hum. These corner blocks are really uneven though I do like the way you make them; either increasing from bottom to top, or decreasing from the top to bottom.
#69 Fudge
5 1/2 “square
I didn’t like the brown colour combo in the book and think this is prettier. :-)
I’m not looking forward to the zig zag block which is next. I just don’t think the colour changes will look very good in thinner baby cashmerino than as it would using ‘proper’ DK. We’ll see how it turns out next week.
Which is your favourite this week? Mine’s the first.
Ooooooo LOVING the fudge one. Been looking forward to that one for ages :D I have American Beauty half finished.
Lovely colours!
Just ordered the pattern book..I will never catch up! your work is so beautiful…
Thanks very much. Let me know when you’ve made a few blocks.
I was about to ask you where these patterns came from then I realized they were from the 200 crochet blocks book which has become a standard. It’s quite amazing that because of the choice of yarn etc. in the book the squares don’t look like much. But, with beautiful yarn and colors they really pop. Great work!
Thank you!
