I’m a winner (well, sometimes)
Lucky me, I was a winner in Audrey and Maude’s recent pattern giveaway, and received these two sweet softie patterns.
I saw these in real life at the Quilt and Craft fair recently. They’re now added to my to-make list! Which first … I think maybe one of the robots. Thanks so much to Louise and Cathy for their generosity (and their talent – I love these softies)!
In today’s mail was the latest blog VIP swatch mailout from Amitie.
These are all from Anna Maria Horner’s Garden Party line. What beautiful saturated colours and swirling lines. Will I need some more pieces I wonder? I’ve done a little more work on the loopy loops too.
They’re all now edged, thanks to Sarah’s excellent instructions. They’ll probably be a scarf for a little while – at least until I crochet some more loopy loops to join together into a blanket. This length is made up of 105 loops. The edging yarn is also scrap stash yarn – hence the change of colour half way through.
The scrappy loops are looking wonderful!
Looking forward to seeing your softies made up too & your quilting(?) with the Amitie stash.
I haven’t received my package yet, but I’m sure it’ll be in the post box tomorrow.
The prize is excellent! Lucky you! I’ll have to check out their store – I’d love to make a robot for my nephew.
And whoo! The loops look great!
Lucky girl. I think I’m going to have to buy those patterns from the gals when we’re in Sydney on Friday.
And I really think I’m going to have to dust off a crochet hook one of these days. You’re an inspiration!
Wow, the edging on the loopy loops is so nice and straight ! It will certainly make a lovely warm blanket.
love those loopy loops lara!
What a cool idea!
