Another experiment was this Mobius scarf which will be going to charity. I used Carnival 8ply with a 5.00mm hook. Pattern can be found here and I started with 102ch.
Still working on a blue/white baby's blanket but its going oh so slowly.
Being a person who gets bored easily, I gave into temptation and started another blanket - this time in Tunisian. Talking about temptation, it reared its head again this morning - look what the delivery man brought ....
Before I finish for today, I want to share this delicious recipe with you -
Date and Walnut Slice
125g butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (must be dark)
1 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 beaten egg
1 cup SR flour (self-raising flour)
Put 1st 3 ingredients in a saucepan and stir over
low heat until syrupy, then cool a little before adding the remaining
ingredients. Press into greased 28x18 cm slice tin and cook for 10-15 mins in a
moderate oven. When cool, dust with icing sugar and cut into squares.
Bet you can't stop at one piece.
Such beautiful projects. The yarn looks scrumptious. I've never tried Tunisian crochet and after looking at your project it may be on my to do list soon.

ReplyDeleteHello my friend.. sorry it's taken me so long to leave a comment.. I've been going out for lunches all this week! LOL! I love all the stuff you're making.. you are amazing! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how the same yarn can look so different in another pattern? I'm glad you found the right match :).
ReplyDeleteReally brilliant Dorothy.. You are such a clever crocheter... Love the scarves and I am not surprised you can't wait to start on that yarn.. Beautiful.. :)
ReplyDeleteDorothy what pattern is the blue/white blanket? At first I thought you had decided to do a Jacob's ladder, then thought maybe there's a back post or front post stitch every now and then to give the "rope" look. But I'm really not sure, so please put me out of my misery.
ReplyDeleteAs always you are doing some lovely work.
