Rustic Lace Square - A Written Pattern

So the Rustic Lace Square has been doing the rounds lately. And even though I've come to it quite late, the thrall of it hasn't waned. I still love it and keep returning to it often.

More Valentine's Day Hearts

Here is another quick project for the lovers and the makers out there. This little padded heart is a delightful decoration for this weekend.

Granny Heart for Valentine's Day

Here is a quick and easy heart to work up for Valentine's Day. I can't claim this pattern as my own, as I have seen numerous versions of this all over the internet. But here is my offering of this little beauty.

Blocking Motifs

I enjoy creating motifs, but one thing I do know about these lovely creations is that the presentation of these motifs is not complete until they have been blocked. I have been asked on numerous occasions how I block my motifs, so I will go through the process I use to get them crisp and perfectly formed.

A Round Cushion Cover

I crocheted up a couple of mandalas. There are quite a few patterns around for these marvellous creations, but I especially like the ones that Wink from A Creative Being has released recently. The Picots & Petals Mandala pattern is available for purchase through Wink's outlets. Be sure to grab yourself a pattern and get crocheting.

Blanket Sizes

I have a Ripple Blanket (Afghan) that has been going on for more than five years. It's so large now that it's no longer portable. I can't just pop it into my bag and pull it out if I have a couple of minutes spare during the day. It's a heavy blanket too, so it's not the kind of item that I want draped over me in the summer. So I'm confined to the winter months of crocheting this blanket. But there are so many other items which are just so lovely, that I haven't got round to working on this blanket for the last 18 months. BUT it will get finished one day (one winter day)!
