DAISY CAMPER BLANKET/WRAP...NooNoo is getting a bit of a makeover

About a week ago i gave you a couple of new lacy options for joining squares

I'm using a version of option 3 for a new 

You can see i've changed the centre flower for the New Camper Blanket/wrap, it shows you if you have a 12 section centre you can add this join to any similar square

Daisy Camper blanket/wrap pattern
For now all I have done is a long first row over 6' so perfect length for a wrap to start me off

 Lacy join option 3: 

NooNoo Camper is getting a make over with a new wrap/blanket using the new table cloth as inspiration

I say wrap/blanket because it will be a 6' wrap to start with and grow over time 

 Table Cloth Colours
USING 6 COLOURS

2 Shades of grey, cream, duck egg blue, soft sage green and 2shades of pistachio and ochre DK

I am using dk and a 4mm Hook

But it could be made in Aran and 5mm hook

US Terms 

A  finger wrap of 10 wraps,

Round 1: 12sc into wrap circle, first anchor stitch counts as fist sc, sl st, to complete. [12sc}

 Round 2: 3tr, clusters, in each st, ch2 counts as first, part made tr, 2 more half made tr, yo, pull through all the stitches, ch2, repeat for each st. sl st to complete. [12 petals]

Round 3: att. second col. in any ch2 sp, between 2 petals, ch5 sc in next sp, repeat to end, sl st, to complete. cont. in same col. [12 x ch5 loops]

Round 4: ch 2 counts as first dc, 4dc, ch5 picot, 5dc, in same ch5 loop,[corner],  sc in next ch5 sp, ch5, [side], sc in next ch5 sp, repeat, sl st, to complete. 
[10dc and ch5 loop each side]

Join as you go: use a sl st, replacement for the 3rd ch st in the ch5 picot and the ch5 side loops, complete the first square, then add the next and subsequent squares using the sl st from the front method.

Camper Coat, Magic Balls and the 15Minute Rule...

The Camper Coat has grown but not a fast as it should have...3 rows of squares and about half way across the coat at the minute.

WORKROOM SORT OUT

Thanks Chris for starting me off with the sort out,  promise I am using the 15minute rule and doing a little every day but its a huge job and not going as fast as it did while you were here, thats for sure, lol. 
Every box i open i find something interesting that hasn't been complete....just so many projects i want to do and not enough hours in the day so again, its back to the 15minute rule and some more Magic Balls too. HERE to see the original post 


Lots of ends of balls to play with thats for sure...

All sorts of uses for these when you crochet especially when you do motifs and use lots ofsxall quantities to make motifs

I'm using lots in the camper coat only a couple of metres if that in each centre circle in a rainbow of colours

the grey version is using US Terms dc but the black and white tweedy look i settled on was slightly more open and i used US tr.

 join as you go in the spaces only

 a little bit quicker than joining every st.

Definitely more effort needed though to complete this Ruana/Kimono/Jacket for next winter, can you believe we are well into July already? 

and for this wearable item I'm making it sleeveless a bit like a Celtic Ruana, i've been wearing a woven black and oatmeal checked one all last winter and love it.

Simple, wide enough not to need a sleeve and goes over everything  a Ruana really should be open at the sides but mine is going to be stitched up so I suppose it could be a sort of Kimono Style, possibly.

UPDATE ON THE 15MINUTE RULE
 All those unfinished project I have?
Could 'The 15 Minute Rule'
see a project or two finished in a year?...YES, I think it could.

15 MINUTE RULE
PERSONAL CHALLENGE 2016
 Using 'The 15 Minute Rule' complete as many unfinished projects as possible in 2016

I'm sure you all have unfinished projects lurking somewhere and would like to see them completed?

By doing just 15minutes a day on a project we could all see a few finished?
