July 2008 CAL blocks
Only half way through the month and I’ve finished the July blocks! As usual, in Bendigo Woollen Mills 8 ply cotton, crocheted with a 4.5mm hook. The pattern is Star Overlay. In Fennel and Heather:

I’ll be working with these five colours for the remaining ten blocks. I’m considering doing a final round of dc for every block in a sixth colour (possibly a light coffee colour from the Bendigo cotton range) before joinng the squares.
Crochet seems to be everywhere in blogland at the moment! There are some terrific examples of crochet on Sarah London’s blog – I have a bag of yarn ends left over that is being transformed into a string of Loopy Loops at the moment. And of course, everyone who crochets or knits should join Ravelry! It is the most astounding resource and is packed with information and inspiration. Get your name on the waiting list for an invitation to join (the wait is only a few days) and spend even more time researching your craft!
These are looking fantastic. I will definitely be checking out Ravelry, thanks for the link.
Thanks for the great links. Your crochet looks stunning. I love the star pattern.
My oh my those are lovely! The colours are pure bluebell wood. I AM going to master this dark art of crochet this Summer. Thank you so much for the youtube tutorials. I sat and watched so many- almost hypnotic. I’m just finishing off some lilac mix yarn then I’ll be picking a solid colour to try making something with.
Thank you once agian,

I’m becoming increasingly interested in getting out the old crochet hooks and giving it a go. Haven’t done any since I was a kid. I keep sending links to my crotcheting-but-non-blogging sister…

Those squares are beautiful. You did a lovely job. I joined Ravelry a while ago, but just now start adding my projects. LOL I can’t add all my books because most are out of print. LOL Going now to take a look at what else you have been up to.
