January squares....

This weeks mood blanket square is made of two different colours. Firstly the pink, as things had settled at home, finances were getting sorted, and despite being a bit cluttered and surrounded by stuff, we had made a start working through the boxes.


The second ball used was a multi-toned yarn, predominantly green, but with some yellow and cream too. This summed up work, which is pretty quiet, but still managing to bring stress and frustration


I like how the squares are all turning out so completely different


And already a whole month has gone by!


I haven't had much chance to work on my mini squares, as i've not managed to have much free time


But I did begin the joining process, and have worked the first two strips together


Am hoping to be able to have a lot more of the front joined by next time
so until then....

  3. The joining looks interesting. Did you first to the squares, then added the white/cream line and then join? Sorry, if that's a daft question :\

    1. Thats ok Mecki, no its not a daft question. I am learning and experimenting with joining. I am doing the coloured mini squares and the i am doing double crochet stitches across the whole width of the squares with a chain stitch in between each square. Then to join the strips i put them right side facing and then double crochet the two white strips together. Hope that makes sense xx

  4. The mini squares are looking good, it's a good idea to do the joining up as you go along.
    Good luck with all the sorting out etc and wishing you and your hubby a peaceful week.

  7. I've not crocheted in years I've never been able to use patterns so ended up just making up as I went along.

    You asked about a travelling journal - a travelling journal is a journal or pages which are passed from one artist to another over a period of time either in the UK or internationally (mine is travelling internationally over 12 months with 12 artists taking part)- each artists works on one page each. So at the end of the journey you end up with a journal/pages full of art.
