Frida's Flower Blanket

I took a break from knitting and mastered another crochet blanket.

This time it's Frida's Flower Blanket.

The yarn is the usual suspect called Stylecraft Special DK.

You can buy the colour pack from Wool Warehouse or create your own colour combination.

Lily Pond Cherry Blossom

And here the last one

Lily Pond CAL "Cherry Blossom"

Stylecraft Special DK

Really enjoyed making this version. It looks very stylish.

I almost forgot to take pictures. It was already wrapped up as gift. Oops!

Crochet Girl Gang CAL 2

After a bit of a hiccup with stitch counting (Not at my end the pattern was wrong in my humble opinion) I had to redo 50% of the squares,

Here is the boyish version for my nephew.

Block a Week CAL 2014

After 4 weeks it finally is done.

Love it!

I can only recommend it.

Dedri's photo tutorials are brilliant. So really even if you are a beginner you can do it.

Please be aware that some of the blocks aren't free any more and one of them has completely gone. I believe about 4 patterns I had to purchase. But there are plenty of free patterns that could replace those blocks.

The yarn I used is

Stylecraft Special DK

Block a Week CAL 2014

Rowan Mystery Afghan

Of course hubby wanted one too.

The pattern is from Rowan, the Pure Wool Worsted Mystery Afghan Knit-a-long.

I replaced the yarn with Stylecraft Simply Aran. 

It works well with any worsted or aran yarn.

The pattern can be downloaded from here

I did the 17 colour version (i didn't add the border though)

Patch Sampler Throw

I actually never knitted a throw before. When i was finished i knew why.

5 colours in 5 patterns can become a little boring.

Still i love it and it keeps me warm in front of the TV.

I used James C. Brett Aztek Aran yarn which is absolutely gorgeous and i will get more for a jumper.

The pattern is free from here
