Crochet latest

I've got a few things on the go; since I painted the living room white,  I can add more dashes of colour than I was able to when the room was deep yellow. I like to juggle several projects as I don't get bored that way! This round cushion cover is nearly finished. I got this pattern from the Erika Knight book, Essential Crochet. It crochets up quickly, these only took me a couple of evenings. I ran out of white wool, so I had to pause while I replenished stocks - a final push over the coming weekend and I hope to be able to show the completed article soon.

 

And these will make another cushion cover; I found this pattern at Sarah London's lovely blog, it's called a PinWheel motif.

 

I have to get some purple in somewhere!

I bought some sale wool in John Lewis in Liverpool; green, coral pink and cream. I think these will turn into a hexagon cushion cover, that's the idea at present..

 

I have other things in the planning stage; a friend has just had a little boy, so a blanket or maybe some baby clothes are a definite possibility, very soon after all the above are completed. I'm really enjoying making all these things, work is a bit stressful and tiring just now, and coming home and doing some gentle hooking in peace and quiet is a brilliant relaxation.

Ha! You're now beating me on the round crochet cushion cover - I've yet to start my second side but will remedy that tonight I think. Love the other work too.

They are all Gorgeous looking projects, I look forward to seeing them progress.
