You can tell its spring around here ... the magpies are very active and are swooping like crazy. We used to have a family of maggies visit us each year but for some reason they stopped coming. This guy has been enjoying my yard quite a bit lately - I wonder if he's one of their offspring coming back for another visit.
Oh, before I finish this post, for those who asked (and especially Kathy), I've tried that Addi Swing Hook I told you about last week and like I said, it will take a little while to get used to the funny shape but its probably a good hook for anyone who gets sore hands when crocheting. I hold my hooks the 'pen' way and it seemed to be quite comfortable. Not sure how it would be for people who hold the 'knife' way though. I've only played around with it for ten minutes or so but when I've actually made something with it, I'll give you another update.
Time for bed now but I'll look forward to reading everyone else's updates tomorrow.
Such pretty piles of motifs waiting to be joined! Can't wait to see it all finished up!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of all your squares. I can't wait to see it together. Those are some of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteAdorable blanket! Such gorgeous colours.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will have the blanket done by next week. And I know it is going to be beautiful just from the picture of the motifs you have. Lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteLove all the squares. I can't wait to see the finished product :)
ReplyDeleteYour lovely squares look edible!! I somehow imagined a petit fours -- hmmm, I'm sure some amazing baker could create a cake that looks just like your beauties. Happy hooking!
ReplyDeleteYour squares look lovely, so pretty when they are joined with White too.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit to picking up my hook up(it's right next to me) to see how I held mine and I hold it like a fork, I also tried holding it like a pen and it feels very odd, like using your left foot to brake in manual car!
Oh, I love the baby colors! I'm beginning a Lucy type ripple blanket.. a smaller size as I think I'm going to use it to dress the back of the leather chair in our den that visitor's use.. it's my "view". I hold my hook the knife way and am happy with my silver hook.
ReplyDelete((hugs)), Teresa :-)
I love the look of them all stacked up like that! You've accomplished quite a lot. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI have the Clover Soft Grip hooks. I love their ergoness.
The squares are looking wonderful and it will definitely be a delightful baby blanket!
ReplyDeleteThe stacks of squares look good, I am looking forward to seeing the whole blanket
ReplyDeleteThey are going to look fab - such pretty colours. There is something so satisfying about seeing them all piled up like that :)
