The Great Wave

And a little bit of knitting this is a KAL again from the Knitting network, worked over a 3 week period this is 'The great wave' by Kat Goldin another project I want to make again in different colours I am leaning towards purples.Link here https://www.theknittingnetwork.co.uk/blogs/news/how-to-knit-the-great-wave-kal-first-instalment

Fridas Flowers

Fridas flowers by Jane Crowfoot was my first ever Cal, before I took part I was only able to crochet basic Granny squares, this CAL taught me so much including how to read written patterns something I had struggled with, a year later I can even read patterns in both UK and US terms.Link herehttps://www.stylecraft-yarns.co.uk/Frida%27s+Flowers/0_CAFA122_CAFA150_CAFA123.htm

This has to one of the most stunning designs and one day I hope to find the time to make another in pale colours.

Wimbledon CAL


Since becoming hooked on crochet I have taken part in a few CAL's , this one from the Knitting network was fun to make it  worked up quickly and Stylecraft Aran is so soft and lovely to work with.Link herehttps://www.theknittingnetwork.co.uk/blogs/news/mandala-crochet-blanket-for-wimbledon-part-one
