#100 Pastel Delight / Block 100 delight!
5 1/2″ sq
I like this, it adds extra interest to the Granny Square middle
#101 Into the Blue
5 1/2″ sq
Bit boring to crochet if you made a whole blanket from these blocks – according to my CAL notebook.
#105 Double Stripes
5 1/2″ sq (3/3 this week!)
These dc stripey blocks are a bit of a swizz – a filler for the book’s block count. I’ve photographed this upside down! If I rotate the pic the angle makes me feel vertigo-ish so I’ve left it.
Confession: I’ve also crocheted next week’s blocks this week because I haven’t got anything else in progress at the moment. I fancy doing some hand sewing so will do a bit next week as I’m ahead with the blocklets. I won’t post them early though, I don’t want people to feel they’re behind when they’re not.
I’ve got a pack of felt, some threads and ribbons so will see what I can come up with. Oooh speaking of ribbons – guess what? I WON five rolls of three metre ribbons this week. :-D I’ll post a pic when they arrive.
I’m in declutter and scrape the dust off the surfaces mode at the moment. It must be bad because at one stage I stopped singing along to Louis Armstrong and found myself doing an “Oh myyyyyy god” at the billowing clouds of dust that were between some of my folders. Shameful.
Have a creative weekend, if you can, everyone!
I’m beginning to get a decluttering/cleaning urge too. Think it’s because the sun has come out finally! Would have to be sunny for a loooonnngggg time to get it all done here ;)
Your blocks are lovely Rachel – some of them take a bit of patience don’t they, but so well worth the effort; will they become a blanket some day?
Spring-time clean does get to us doesn’t it – such a nuisance when it takes away from craft time, although, don’t we feel better when it’s all freshly done! Do have a lovely weekend! Joy x
Looks like it is your lucky week :). You won the book. Would you like anything specific written in it by the author?
Oh wow!!!!
“Happy crocheting” or similar?
Thank you!
You are most welcome. Can you please dm me or e-mail your address. Thanks :)
congratulations have fun with your new book and ribbon – you are on a winning streak maybe you should buy a lottery ticket today – good luck with your sewing x
I’ve got one! I thought the same- third time lucky…
Lovely blocks as always. Decluttering will start here once Dave the Decorator has finished! Found the crochet hook- yippee!
Hurrah!
So, anything on the lottery ticket? I’m impressed that you’ve made it to triple digits, I still have to hit the #20 mark…. heh
Nought :-(
Congrats on the half way mark. Love the colouring of the blocks. I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone puts their blocks together. :)
It’s actually more than halfway because of the swizz of the last section, it’s nearly over, 9 weeks or so left. There are around 26 blocks left. Then comes the fixing together….
