Am I loosing it?....

Its my kitchen floor, my feet from under my dressing gown and the leg of the chair, my dinning chairs....BUT, I had no recollection of making this blanket for several minutes.

TO THE POINT, I had to enlarge the picture and look at the floor and my feet first, before realising I did recognise it. Maybe I've got arthritis in my brain too?

How very strange and no idea where I've put it either?

Quite like it though, let's hope I can find it some where in the creative piles of work.

SICK AGAIN...not covid, I did a test although not sure how accurate these home tests are?

Been in bed for a week with so much pain, sore throat, cough, ear infection that bled, still can't hear anything in my left ear and an infection in my right eye, still can't fully open that either, although the pains have almost gone but I still have a bit of a cough...is this ever going to end?  I need a sunny beach.

 

GIANT CUBES from October 2021

I remember this one because its on a dress dummy I look at every day, as a very long and wide wrap....but I'm not sure whether I was aiming for a blanket or not?

trying to clear out all my blue a green stash

 And this small black and aran lap blanket, because its on the table in my work room, but no idea what I did with the first one?

Giant Flower Pattern...new take

Giant Flower pattern HERE

Start with the giant flower but add rows of dc and sc, or another favourite stitch, maybe 'v' stitch or bobble stitch even to make a giant flower don't forget to increase every other row so it grows and lies flat 

Keep going until it is the size you want or make several and join them together...

CoronaCal second Star join for Eye Motif's

Morning Hookers...there are some stunning #CoronaCal eye, blankets being completed now, all can be seen on my Facebook Group HERE. 

3 STUNNING EXAMPLES OF THE BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS OF MANY 

ON THE GROUP

Sharon Howington's throw with a black join 

The 'Eye' motifs have 24 granny shells each side and they are joined to keep the rounded eye shape, with 9granny shells each end and 6 granny shells as a side. Works really well in keeping the rounded shape.

 Sarah Tuckwell with a grey join colour 

AND 

Yvonne van der Marck with a stone coloured join

3 ABSOLUTELY STUNNING #CORONALCAL THROWS

THE NEW EYE JOIN

If you divide the 24granny shells equally 8, 8 and 8 granny shells you can join in a star shape, because all the sides to join are equal...just use the same join as you go between the granny shells for the ELONGATED HEXAGON.

3 MORE JOINS FOR EQUAL SIDES

EYE JOIN WITH GRANNY SQUARE AS ROWS

AND MORE RANDOM PATTERNS TOO

this picture show what can be achieved  from the centre of the eye pattern and join as you go on round 6

THANK YOU ALL, 

its got me through the lock down too.

Still lots more to come to help you with the stress of our times....2020 will be a year we want forget, and I hope you blankets, cushions and throws will be a happy memory of a very frightening and for some a very, very sad time. 

Thinking of you all and your wonderful blankets now emerging from over a month of staying home.

Its been a fantastic stash busting project for all Hookers who have joined the challenge. From total beginners to experienced Hookers.

Lots of variations still to come...but i do hope we soon can get back to something more like normal
