I know, I know I haven't shown many crochet WIP's (Work In Progess) lately - mainly because I have to FP's (Finished Projects) and only one WIP, which you already know - see {{this post}}.
Last week I took delivery of the final 1200g of yarn to finish bluey
Yarns purchased from: http://www.purplelindacrafts.co.uk
Bluey is slowly taking shape but because I have decided that it will become a bed-throw, it has turned into a bigger project than initially thought.
I think I have another month to go before it will be finished - but I am not complaining, I love hooking that particular pattern.
And then there was another parcel, the colourful contents make me so happy - but this is only the top row, there are 10 more colours hidden behind :)

But let me show you what I razzled up last week - I was so quick, that I never had the time to show it to you as a WIP, so here is the FP - a summer scarf/wrap
The pattern is so easy it's not even funny, yet it looks so intricate. Let me tell you - all you really need to be able to do to create the patters is to count to seven and crochet a chain. Yup, continuous hooking of chains of seven is ALL that is required for the main pattern of the scarf. This is going to be a birthday present for Mr P's mum and seeing that she neither has the internet nor has any interest in web surfing, I can be sure she won't be seeing this.
Time to complete: 14 hours
Yarn: King Cole Premier DK (250g total)
Cost: £3.73 (yup...I am NOT kidding)
It was supposed to be a Christmas Tree Skirt but I figured that with a smaller hook and thinner yarn it would make a great table-mat-circle-thingy.
Time to complete: 3 hours
Yarn: King Cole Premier DK, shade 265 (40g total)
Cost: £0.59 (I am still not kidding...)Not sure if you have noticed but on the left and right hand side of my blog, I add pictures and quick links to the crochet books I have read and from which I generally take my patterns. If you are thinking of taking up crocheting and are looking for some good books, they are the ones I recommend.
WOW! I am in awe of your hookin skills!
