craft, crochet, WIP, work in progress

Squares, brooches and WIP

Luckily, my hubby’s camera is still working.  These are the squares that I crocheted when waiting for Stella.  Now the squares are waiting for blocking.  I’d better get them done before Friday when we need the spare bed for my parents!

The maroon/burgundy row of crochet has really toned down the colours, making the squares look much less garish.  They also needed to be a bit larger, which has now been achieved!  I don’t have enough yarn in the same colour left to do another row, so it’s only going to be a pram sized rug.  Thanks to Mum for giving me the yarn from her stash!

I have posted these before, but now they’ve got button centres and brooch backs.

My latest work in progress is this zig-zag scarf.  It just needs the fringing completed, and I’m going to do a flower brooch in the same yarn to pin it into place (it’s not a very long scarf).  I’ll post it soon – I get a lot of crochet done in the evenings in front of the telly while Stella is having her “unsettled” time!

My next post will be Megan’s 40th Birthday Bag – but I can’t post it yet in case she reads my blog before I give it to her!
