Well, as ever I seem to be squeezing this post in before my food shop and picking up the boys from school.
This week I haven't got round to sewing in ends and sewing the squares together hence why the new squares look a little bigger.
I am pleased on how this blanket is going and really have to say it is no trouble, I tend to have a look in my 'chuck it all in' hidey-hole in the car at the end of Monday, and generally the week's work is completed as I do it all on the school runs.............effortless.......... just about!
Haven't yet figured out what I will do about the shortfall in cotton, although I'm pretty sure I want it to be all one colour for the person I am making it for. I know how much a square weighs, but am not really sure how much I will need to make the border which looks very pretty on the pattern......hhhhmmmm, can you tell I am not the best at making decisions!!
(Just spent ages trying to arrange three silly pictures and now everything is slowly unfolding, so I give up)
(now as soon as I type it got worse!! To cap it all off, I got to the end of the post and one of the pictures has gone!!)
Try again..........I want to make a Christmas present for my mother-in-law and was thinking to make a flower scarf, rather like the beautiful Japanese scarves which so many are blogging about at the moment.
Anyway...........taking a look at my newly acquired crochet and knitting book, there are a number of flower motifs which are really pretty, so I hope to give some of them a go this week.
My question is...........you knew there was one coming didn't you?!
Has anyone any tips in designing shapes to tessellate (gosh, that's dredging up some memories from junior school) planning is not my strong point, but planning would probably help with this, as then I could join as I go? Any advise gladly accepted!
