Crochet with 5mm hook, white 8ply acrylic yarn.

Completed Pine Cone doily
I am currently crocheting a pillow case cover for a 35cm x 35cm cushion.
One side granny square using multicolored yarn, 8ply, acrylic, different colors on each row and crocheting with a 3.5mm hook and hooking a double crochet stitch on each side.
On the other side, stripped solid colors, bright with different colors on each row.
Here is a sneak peak.


I am also currently crocheting a hand bag, I have been for a while.
Crochet with 4mm hook, single crochet stitch, working in the round, with yarn of mix wool and soy with mix colors of green, brown, cream and gray. Each side different coloring.
Here is a sneak peak.

Also my Old Lady Cactus (Mammillaria Hahniana) is sprouting a flower, so beautiful, opens during the day and closes for the night.

This is the most the flower has opened so far.

The ripple blanket is coming along, all colorful and bright, will take a while to complete. The length now is about one meter and half. Here is couple of shots of color.

love the doily - I find it REALLY difficult to follow crochet patterns though. Probably because I'm self taught (well, internet taught!) and it took me quite some while to realise that USA and UK use the same codes (sc, tr, etc) but mean different stitches - so I don't think I use the intended stitch sometimes!

Wow! now you make me so jealous of your talent.

You really have to develop more and make the best of it.

Your so gifted.

Have a nice day, sis.
