A little more hip hooking
May’s Hip to Hook parcel from Sarah London had these yarns in it:
with which I proceded to make some Pop Wheels and sew them together into a larger block (badly – reminder to self: must improve joining technique when sewing blocks together rather than crocheting them together) without having woven the yarn ends in first (reminder to self: weave in yarn ends before photographing any crochet – blog finished doesn’t work well with yarn).
At this stage I think I’ll make another three groups of four pop wheels using the yarn colours I received in the previous months of Hip to Hook and maybe turn them into a cushion.
Speaking of cushions, here is how another couple of the Hip to Hook stitch patterns are progressing. The Larksfoot stich pattern from April is all ready to be backed.
The ripple stitch pattern from March is not yet quite big enough to fold in half and seam into a cushion.
Each month I’m doing two rows using the two yarns that Sarah sends, then doing two more rows using another two yarns from my stash. It’s interesting seeing how the colour combinations develop. I wonder what colours I’ll receive in June!
Oh my! I’m just in awe – gob smacked!
oh WOW lara, double WOW!!! love love love!!! beautiful beautiful work!!
I love the wavy effect of that last pic. That would make a lovely scarf.
Your crocheting looks beautiful, and I love the larkstitch. I have been taught about 3 times now but never end up continuing after the lesson so I forget the techniques. Perhaps I need to get out my crochet books and teach myself.
Oh….haven’t ordered June yet…I have made May yet either…
Yours look fantastic. I’m inspired now:)

Beautiful! I am just picking up the hook again after many years and you are such an inspiration! I cannot live without my Encyclopedia of Crochet techniques book I purchased a few years ago. It has many of these techniques you used in it, but I will explore that when I am a bit better at the basic stuff.
I love your crochet!
I am making a ripple too and I am really enjoying it. Is your ripple made from acrylic yarn? I’m using 8ply cotton and I am kicking myself now as it is costing a fortune!
PS. I have not woven any of the ends in yet! I have been trying to photograph around them…
