Hello :) It's been a few weeks since I spontaniously blogged - since going back to Caroles One-a-day project I've only been blogging my Tuesdays Tallies - this weeks will be *very* exciting though :D
I got to a point in hexagon making where I ran out of cream wool, which was kind of essential to joining the whole thing together! While I was waiting for more to arrive in the post I whipped up these.
I've got a lovely collection of green yarns now (I wish Stylecrafts range was better!) and I've had an urge to go back to squares for a while so it seemed like a good opportunity. I've been making more today actually, I think it might end up as a cushion.
I got the pattern from Attic 24, it's her Summer Garden Granny Square and I love the way it starts as a circle (like the hexagons!) and ends up as a square :)
I've edged these in white using trebles and sewed them together with the long tail left over. For the other side I'm going to keep the whole thing green and use Lucy's join-as-you-go method, really to use a variety of techniques and have a bit of fun.
This is one finished side. The other is still a work in progress.
Thanks to everyone who's pushed me into completing my hexagon blanket, I can promise that on Tuesday I'll have a ta-dah for you!!

Stylecraft really lets itself down with it's choice of greens, most frustrating. It has such a range of other colours that you'd think they could experiment a bit more with the greens.
ReplyDeleteYour hex blanket looks fab :-)
So pretty! Those greens are so lush, I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy. I love the 'greens' you have put together. xxx
ReplyDeleteLove that colour combo. It reminds me of a rainforest with all of its range of colour. The round of cream adds a real crispness to it all. By the way, your hexi afghan is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreen is "in"! Oregon is known as a green state because we recycle and have lots of trees and stuff. So, I love the green gs's! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteOoh pretty! It's soo difficult to find beautiful greens isn't it? Looking forward to your Ta-Dah! :-) xxxx
