It feels more like Autumn today than summer. I've just got over a nasty chest infection and felt quite chilly today. So I got home and started to plan my autumn birthday presents for my friend and my mum. I recently bought some lovely luxury merino wool in the sale and it's so lovely to crochet with. I started one scarf tonight, sadly the camera doesn't pick up the texture and colour very well, it's sage and is so soft with a sheen to it. Normally I start a long foundation chain for the actual length but discussing this today with Debbie at work she suggested I try doing it the other way and so I gave it a try. After getting my brain into gear it actually worked and is much neater than doing it the other way! I just made it up as I went along. It won't grow so quickly but I can take it to work and do a few rows in my lunch break. Maybe just maybe this year I will work out how to do a granny square! I've tried several times and failed. I need to find a crochet class to teach me. Enjoy the rest of your week and the rain for the garden. Amanda x
And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash.
