On my Crochet Hook

When I started this blog way back in 2012 it was to share my quilting, what I've learnt along the way and to show my progression from one learning process to the next.  Since then my blog has changed in so many aspects, its not just a place where I share and show off my projects, but yours too during our Anything Goes weekly linkup.  

My main interest was only in quilting.  If you asked me about anything else, I would shrug and wave it away as though you're talking nonsense.  But during this winter another bug bit me. 

I guess after joining Instagram and seeing so many inspiring crochet projects I really wanted to give it a try.  I guess it was another one of those "I want to see if I can" moments.  With only the basic knowledge of how to hold the yarn, how to crochet a few basic stitches I jumped right in. 

I love colour.  I think granny squares is the best way to have a colour explosion experience.  I am honest when I say, I am not in love with the next granny square blanket I finished up, I think I went a bit overboard using so many different colours.  But I am proud of my little blanket.  Not one single sqaure has the same colour layout, YES the colours repeat throughout, but not one looks the same...

Happy quilting...umm, I mean crocheting... 

Anything Goes Quilt 'n Sew #27 - Lord of the rings Sunday

I bet there are many of you, who enjoy having a lazy Sunday once in a while.  Usually, not always, I spend the Sundays preparing a large'ish Sunday lunch, but yesterday we decided to get freshly made meals with tons of snacks, and spend the whole day watching DVD's.  

We used to do this quite often in the past before Kayleigh was born, and visited old favorites, like Back to the Future, Dirty Dancing, Shawshank Redemption... movies we grew up with.  Yesterday we decided to watch the whole Lord of the rings series.  Over nine hours of lazying in front of the tv and eating.  

I did however crochet a bit while watching, and now have about 5 squares left to make before I can start sewing them together.  

I hope you had a great weekend... I think I am going to need a day or two just to recover, being that lazy, doing almost nothing is tiring... ;-)

Now it's time for this week's linky party

Anything Goes Quilt 'n Sew #25 - Sunburst Granny Squares

Yep, I did it again, I found something I like to do, and of course like with quilting when I start something there's no stopping.  My sister in-law and her family came over for a long weekend visit, so this was an ideal project to keep busy while catting.  The men kept busy playing golf, either for real on the golf cource or on the x-box, so my sister in-law wanted to  join in, and bought her own startup stash of colourful yarns.  It was quite fun showing her how to make these little sunburst granny squares, and before long, we both were crocheting like there's no tomorrow.

I really like how they came together, all I tried to do was to not repeat the same colour layout.
