the year of the square

 After yesterday's rant I treated myself to a new magazine. So today I bought inside crochet. I have to say it's very nice. I have fallen in love with a mystery blanket pattern.

I have always been jealous of people blankets . I can't even fave the changing involved to start. This year I decided I wanted a motif one. I signed up for a cal and when first pattern.came it was well beyond me . It doesn't I spire me to try rest. So was really happy to see this little beauty

However this is part two !

Part was the little motif in middle . I searched all over and couldn't find pattern. Then I had brain.wave remember my bag project ??

 the squares are perfect  size. 

So although I have a long way to go I have a start of a blanket

My news resolution is to finish it lol

It's in.four parts so will be two more no.the just to get whole pattern. I have decided to make it a long project and will.update the blog on my progress as I confess am also still making the waist coat lol

an elephant never forgets

But I certainly do


After my last post about the problem.of the elephant  bum I couldn't face picking up my hooks . But I braved it today  all I had to do was one some motif attached on one side


Easy you might think but no...

 I kept getting a weird bumpy seem  . I did the edge over and over  with same result but then I decided to do what I should have done from the start and read tutorial.on join as you go


You guessed it was doing it wrong !!!! So with that sorted it should have Been full steam ahead  but no that would be to easy  I then  joined the next motif in wrong place !!!

Hopefully that's is for the teething troubles but I have my doubts lol

Any way it is  so far
