Hello. So, back to a bit of crafty news after all the New Year festivities are over, I have been busy with the crochet hook recently, I love how through the holiday period I can craft at leisure, and during the day! I am still a bit in love with the harlequin pattern, and am making a blanket using the tapestry crochet technique. Pretty much the same as my washcloths but made in 8ply wool and a fair bit bigger! I am using hdcs instead of sc to give a more diamond shape. This is hooking up nice and quickly so I hope to have it finished soon. Lots of colour here, nice and bright and cheery...... I am liking the bit of orange, I was going for a bit of a carnival look and I think it helps. ....It will probably end up roughly cot sized once I add a border ...... .....I dragged out the other diamond blanket I have on the go, quite a different process and far more time consuming, but I like the patchworky effect of sewing all the diamonds together......then again, I like the flatness of the tapestry technique too. Must try and get this one finished too....... I should have some time over the weekend to do some more on these, so hopefully something finished to show you all soon! Have you been doing any holiday hooky?
