      Crochet continuation

      April 22nd  

      I am in my element, somehow I misunderstood and the crochet photo a day challenge was not just for the first half of April, but for the whole month!!  I cannot tell you how happy that has made me feel.  The first whiff of this news came when I saw Ashley's post...

      It's never to late to join Lazy Daisy Jones


      Day 16:  CROCHET TOY

      As I have not made a toy, I included International Ted's
      string vest that he commissioned me to make for
      him whilst on a Mediterrean cruise


      Day 17: STITCH COMBO

      This is my favourite, yet unfinished blanket,
      I love all the stitch combinations


      Day 18: GRANNY SQUARE

      I love a good granny square, shown here with a
      photo of mamma as a little girl, she is still
      my inspiration and go to person if I am stuck


      Day 19:  MANDALA
      My first ever mandala, post all about it   here  and
      what a mandala actually is!
       
       
      Day 20:  HOOK HOLD
       
       
      I look very awkward in this shot but holding my
      hook is so comfortable that I was shocked at how it looked!
       
       
      In case you want to see the previous 15 photos that I entered for the
      photo challenge,  they can be found Week 1 Week 2  Week 3

        Always lovely to see your crochet Selma. I am so new to it that I realise I only have one hook! Maybe I should branch out a little. X

        Lovely work! I knit a little but can't crochet at all so it's really nice to see yours, especially to see your hands as you work.

          Thank you Linda. What a lovely compliment. Mesmerising is I think the right word for the mandala. Hadn't thought of that

        Great to see more of your crochet, you know I love it! Your unfinished blanket is gorgeous, I love the colours!!! Hope that you get to finish it someday and that we can see it. Little travelling bear looks so happy too in his string vest, I always enjoy seeing him! Thank you for joining Five On Friday again this week, I do so appreciate it and enjoy reading your posts. Hope you have a great weekend! xx

          Thanks Amy. I'm hoping one day the blanket will be finished. It's just so annoying that new things want to be made!?!?

        Greetings Selma. I loved seeing all the brightly colored items you have been creating. Ted looks so cute in his vest! And, the blue blanket (it looks like a blanket) appears heavenly in the blue tones. I think I hold my crochet hook the same way. Maybe because I'm self taught but it works. Thank you for the kind comment you left on my blog. Wishing you a fabulous weekend! Hugs, Pat

          Thanks Iat. Actually although in this shot the blue does look like a blanket it is in actual fact a wash bad to hold my cotton wool in in the bathroom. Will show more in the next crochet photo challenge post x

        Your crocheting is inspiring me to pick up some yarn and my hook. The cooler weather is helping too.
