This square is called Lovely in Green, by Dayna Audirsch. It is a free online pattern, click here for the link.
It actually worked up quite quickly and easily. I’ve used a 4.5mm hook and recycled 8ply/DK yarns. For the first two rounds I used the same colour, and after that the colour was changed at [...]
One of my main reasons for chosing to work on the ‘block-a-month’ project, was because I wanted to learn to read patterns properly. I figured that if I was working on the same squares as the rest of the group, then there would be plenty of people ready to help when I needed it.
Well, [...]
As you already know, I’m working on a block-a-month project with a group over at Ravelry. The idea is that you make one 12″ square each month, and at the end of the year you join them all together to make an afghan.
Since I’m after a larger afghan, I have been making two squares each [...]
Okay… so I haven’t actually finished making my first haekelbeutel yet… but I’m working on another one!
This time, it is part of a challenge with the Oddballs Group on Ravelry. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the others come up with… there’s certainly some fascinating creations which come from that group.
As for mine, this [...]

So… this was my entry… aptly titled RABBIT STEW…

This time I have used Waldo’s Puzzle pattern, again by Chris Simon. I’ve worked this pattern before, and loved it. The directions are very clear, and there are step-by-step photos to guide you along the way. It [...]
The second of the blankets we are working on is in blue, for a Friedreich’s Ataxia charity which is close to Jimbo’s heart.
You can look back at yesterday’s post for the pattern details.
Thanks to Daphne and Maree, who both offered yarn for this square.
The first of the blankets we are working on is in red, for the Country Fire Authority.
I’ve used a pattern called Supernova, by Chris Simon. Click here for the free online pattern.
From memory, Jimbo’s hook is 5.0mm. The yarn for this project needed to be machine washable wool, which I didn’t have in my recycled [...]
Have you heard about Jimbo and his hand carved hooks???
If not, you should take a moment to check out his handiwork… over at his blog: Jimbo’s Front Porch
Read Jimbo’s story while you are there.
Jimbo kindly sent one of his precious hooks to Crochet Lovers Victoria, so that we could use it to work on some [...]
