April 21st - Squeeeeeeeee! Got my yarns today ^_^

I’ll be following the instructions in US Terms.

I used the recommended hooks but I didn’t do a sampler, lucky for me the rectangle fit perfectly with my square! Just have to crochet with the same tension!

April 25th ~ Block 2 Tiny Lily
60g = 193 yards
Size 6” x 6”
Jane’s Blog

Ok, I’ve decided to drop all my WIPs and start my Blanket now ^_^

I got a 16cm square! Ok, I will stick with my extra cm ^_^

This is so addictive that I completed all 4 squares in 1 day …while watching Arrow!!!
Loving both experience ♥

April 26th - 27th ~ Block 1 Stripes & Waves
160g = 515 yards
Size 19” x 6”
Jane’s Blog

So excited that my band fit nicely against 3 Lily’s squares from above :)

I’m tucking and crocheting over all my end-tails as I go along …no sewing required!

May 6th - 7th ~ Block 3 Lily Bud
60g = 193 yards
Size 6” x 6”
Jane’s Blog

Fortnight is too long a wait!! But here’s another set of lovely flowery squares ^_^
I love the rays in the middle, wicked effect!

May 22nd - 24th ~ Block 4 Bobbles & Pinwheels
120g = 386 yards
Size 12” x 6”
Jane’s Blog

Jane’s blog above gave me extra help with the bobbles.
Had to pay extra attention to the colour changes and the pinwheels!

I’ve also join the 2 squares to the 4 rectangles. The slip-stitch edge on the two sides of the rectangles made it easier to join with the squares :)

My Mamie bought me a lovely basket last week and I thought it was ideal to carry my yarns. I’m working from the middle of my ball-of-yarn so the ball doesn’t roll about when in use ^_^

June 16th - 18th ~ Block 5 The Lily Pond Flower
90g = 289.8 yds
Size 6” x 6”
Jane’s Blog

A few people in Jane’s forum said they are crocheting the 4 squares at the same time… make total sense!

I’m also loving the white petals in the middle, just like how I would draw them on paper :)

Squeeeeeeeeee! I absolutely love this flowery square!! This is my favourite!!
At first I thought the flower will be far too big but I didn’t need to worry :)

I had a real thrill making each petals.

I had to keep a good count (29 sts) when joining the squares together.

June 18th-21st ~ Block 6 Bobbles & Wavy Shells
120g = 386 yards
Size 6” x 12”
Jane’s Blog

This one worked up a lot faster! Even the slip-stitch edges are making sense…
1 ss over each sc, 2 ss over dc, 3 ss over treble… all add up to 29sts

July 29th-30th ~ Block 7 Medium Lily Flower
60g = 193 yards
Size 6” x 6”
Jane’s Blog

Again I crochet those squares simultaneously. Gone a lot faster, just 2 days of crocheting for all 4 Flowers!

I’ve used 3.5mm hook to join instead of 4mm. I’ve applied this to all. Hook 4 was just too loose for me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

July 30th - Aug 1st ~ Block 8 Large Lily Flower
100g = 322 yards
Size 6’’ x 6’’
Jane’s Blog

Crochet all 5 modules simultaneously.
I used several stitch-markers, as pins, to place to central flowers in the middle of the square.
I actually used this method in all of the joining!

Only 10g of 1708Petrol left, crossing all fingers and toes!!
I nearly cry when I was left with only 80” of Petrol yarn left and I haven’t join the Framework…
I didn’t read page 6 thoroughly… Meadow1065 is used to join the final framework.
Phew! I’m smiling again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

August 1st-2nd ~ Border
125g = 402 yards

I’ve used 3.5mm hook throughout.
Fit beautifully!

I love my Blanket ♥
