More crochet bunting / triangles

Hello!!

As you know I'm a big fan of bunting. What I the love most, is that serves to other purpose other than to look pretty! Yep, when you think about it, it really is useless! Yay!

I've made up a new pattern for bunting. So without further ado, let me introduce.

Pretty flowery bunting.

I have written the pattern out and will share it with you soon. As I'm sure you'll understand, I don't have a lot of time to spare at the moment! Most of my pretty things are in boxes now, and the house is developing that echo of emptiness. Anyhow once the move is done and we've unpacked, I'll start on those other patterns I promised you ages ago too!

Till next time.

Busy

Hello!

We may have found somewhere to live!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

I'm not going to be able to relax until I have keys in my hand though!

The provisional moving date is the 26th of March, hence today's busy title. Sorting through everything is a daunting task, I have turned into a bit of a hoarder! In one room alone I have thrown away 4 bags of rubbish! I have stuff piled up ready to take to a car boot sale, and anything that doesn't sell will be dropped off at the charity shop on the way home. I like having a plan, I hate it when life is flapping around, like a leaf in the wind! I'm a total bit of a control freak!

One thing about the nearly our house is that it has 3 bedrooms. Hummmm one for J, one for P and me, and one left over. That could mean CRAFT ROOM!!!

Speaking of crafts, I've found a little bit of time to fit in some crochet.

I have a problem with this 'thing'. I don't like it! The flowers, when viewed from the side, look like spiders when they do that hunchy thing, just before they run. Since I've thought that, my motivation to carry on has disappeared!

Although I have just previewed this post and they look quite pretty in the photo.

I'll think about it.

In the meantime I have succumbed to the Japanese flower bug!

I honestly didn't want to. I like to try and be a little different and not follow the crowd. That's why I started the above 'thing'.

So here's my Japanese flowers.

I do like them!

Till next time.

Star flower.

Hello!

Thank you all so much, for all of your lovely comments!

I was totally overwhelmed. You were all so very kind, hugs to everyone!  

I have just joined a blog called The flower bed . It's a flower CAL. You really must pop over and have a look, there is some stunning work happening!

This is the blanket I'm making.

I'm still using Stylecraft, and my trusty 4mm hook.

Here's the pattern.

UK terms throughout.

Round 1: Ch 4 and join to form a ring, 12dc into ring, join with a slst to first dc (12dc)

Round 2: Ch4, slst in same st, * sk1 dc, slst in next dc, ch4, slst in same st*

Rep from *to* 5 times. ( 6 4ch loops)

Round 3:  * (6htr, 3ch, 6htr) into loop, slst into next slst* rep from *to* 6times.

Fasten off.

The petals will bunch up as you work around.

This one is going on my bag.

The pattern for the spiral is super easy.

The ones above are Ch15, 3dc in 2nd ch from hook, then work 4dc in each chain along.

Till next time.

Granny Ripple Ta-dah!

Hello!

I have finished my Granny ripple YAY!!!!!

It's the biggest thing I have made so far. In case you are interested it measures 5ft 2" long by 4ft 6" wide, and is made from Stylecraft, and a no.4 hook.

I'm not sure where it's going to live yet (same as me ha!ha!)

I don't think it's quite right on the sofa.

So it'll probably live on the bed.

That is providing I can claim it back from it's new owner.

Now I'm suffering from E.H.S. (empty hook syndrome!) I guess I could finish off my hexagon blanket.

Till next time.
