OOOoooopss, the name of this group is 'one-a-day', but this week it has been
'six-in-an-evening'
As you may know, my one-a-day squares for my sunnyspread throw have been made during school drop-offs and pick-ups....a good system that hasn't failed yet........well until half-term that is..........
The squares themselves are not difficult to make and very quick also, so last night after the boys were tucked up and stories had been read, I busied myself and nearly caught up...... but not quite!
So with this week's six, I am now on 48
Must admit, I have not tired of this project and could easily see myself making another as the stitch detail is so simple and pretty.
Onto other things.............yesterday I read on nicoleandthebee about a lovely project being started by a fellow Raveller, Lynne.
Last year, Lynne's new born son, Sam, had to spend Christmas in hospital. During this obviously emotional and stressful time, Lynne did a lot of crochet including some crocheted snowflakes for her son's incubator. This year she is trying to get other people involved to help crochet enough snowflakes to go into all the incubators in the special care baby unit............anyway to read more about her story and appeal, please look here.
These little snowflakes are quick to make and easy to fit around other larger projects which we may all need a break from now and then........I know I can certainly commit to doing some........wouldn't it be lovely to do something so special this Christmas! Go on.......you know you want to!
If you want to check out other one-a-dayer's work please look on gingerbreadgirls blog.
What a nice idea. I will go check out hte snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the catch-up, I only got six(ish) done this week and that was by the skin of my teeth! Your blanket is growing beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThe snowflakes sound wonderful I would love to help, I'll look at the link. Thanks
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog, that star is perfect! I wonder how long it would have taken me to find it???
ReplyDeleteYou blanket is looking fabulous and the snowflake idea is a beautiful one, I will take a look at the page later on.

What a lovely idea, I'm gaing to have a look now! I'm impressed, six is still better than 2 which was a really poor effort. I'll have to pull my socks up now and get going! Jxx
ReplyDeleteWell done on six I think six is excellent. I'm going to go check out that snowflake idea what a lovely idea. xx
ReplyDeleteNow that is a beautiful idea. Six in a day is awesome, and much more than I have achieved this week!
ReplyDeleteAdorable blanket, it has such a timeless charm to it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your friend's appeal. I am hopelessly overcommitted at the moment but I can't imagine that she'll be short of donations.
Yay for mentioning the snowflake project! I think we'll be able to decorate an entire hospital!!
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is looking so lovely :-)
Love the pattern on your project. Love the snowflake too!
ReplyDeleteHey did you mis-count... I'm sure I count 54 up there! I only know because our blankets are almost identical! 6 in one day is amazing! :)x
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have a mad dash on a Monday ready for Tuesdays too!
ReplyDeleteI count 54 too! It is a lovely little pattern, so simple but very effective.
Your sunny spread is looking lovely! And six in one night - hats off to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad so many of us are joining in with the snowflakes - I really believe these little things make a difference, Judy x
The sunny spread is looking good, if only we could crochet that much every night!!
ReplyDeleteThe snowflakes idea is wonderful, to bring a little smile to the hard times for families
