Crochet sketchbook booksyarn I’m using 8/4 cotton to make samples of 3 round circles with clusters, puffs & popcorns and then squaring them. My favourite squares and circles I’m making up using lace cotton for my crochet sketchbook smiling_face_with_3_hearts This is what I love about crochet, even playing around with 3 rows and 4 stitches, like anything in maths, there are infinite possibilities but logical conclusions yellow_heart
.
To secure them in the sketchbook I chain a few at the end of each crochet sample and tape down with masking tape. The title can then be written on the tape. It also makes it easy to move pieces around. I’m using a mixed media 180gsm paper sketchbook with large rings so it has room to bulk out. The book has 60 pages, it should fit if I take about 20 out. But I’ll just see how it goes.

I also plan to make up some mesh and lace samples.

So I’ve completely overhauled this project, the paper pages weren’t working out so I’ve made a crochet sample book! The most fun I’ve had designing to date. I wanted a good quality, cotton yarn for this project and thankfully I had a Scheepjes skies light colour pack I’d been saving! I’ve used all the colours to create an eight page A5 sample/sketchbook. I haven’t finished yet, there are a couple of design features I want to add and I still need to see in all the ends. But I’ve already been playing around with arranging my lace samples on the pages. I just love a new blank sketchbook to fill yellow_heart
