Crochet inspiration
The last couple of days have been good for mail! These back-issues of Interweave Crochet arrived yesterday.
They both contain some really lovely projects. I have flipped through plenty of crochet mags at the newsagent over the last few months, and I think that Interweave Crochet is definitely the best (although Crochet Today also has some nice projects). It has a lovely mix of items and varying levels of difficulty, so they should keep me going for years! I really want to make this blanket:
I know that it will take me years, but it will be a nice portable project (there are 126 squares in total, ranging from two-rounds to 12-rounds, in 18 different colours). The hard part might be choosing the colours and deciding on the combinations for each sqare. I’ll probably order some yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills – they have a great mail order service.
I love this blanket too. However I cannot crochet and think it is a little ambitious on my part to try this as first project. Good luck to you. There are some great WIPs of this on ravelry too.
Hi. This blanket is available in a knitted version in various Kaffe Fassett books. If anyone wants to know which book just leave a message for me on my blog. It is such a great way to use up scraps.
