OLD 201O PATTERN...AFRICAN FLOWER AS A SQUARE

Just dug out my African Flower as a Square pattern form 2010, someone was asking for a square version...hope it helps

Click Here for original post 
form June 2010 and the pattern

8 petals helps to start with...

add the corners

and you have a square...

bump on the one side is the weaving in of the ends only disappears when they are joined together.

I have almost finished the SHELL STITCH DIAGONAL Cushion

even did a few rows on my way to late lunch with friends lol, never waste crocheting time hey? lol

making up so quick this shell st pattern, I did start out with 4dc in each shell but it seemed a bit big, so changed to 3dc per shell and it has tightened up a little and I am happy with it....couldn't be bothered to unpick the 4 dc rows, but not obvious so thought it would be ok.

Ripple one next and then the other Moss st. one I am leaving until last, fab st, quick and easy but doesn't grow very quickly.

SHELL STITCH DIAGONAL CUSHION NOTES

5.5MM hook 

2 strands of DK

17 shell each side of base chain so 34 in the round all together

to fit an 18 square cushion pad.

Quick trip out today to find the right buttons for all these Blue cushions, 4 for each cushion.
UPDATE: didn't make it to get buttons but I did manage to finish the shell stitch cushion

Hope the African Flower Square pattern is useful, 

have fun xx

Glad you like the holiday project...OMEGA LANG a new yarn my local shop had more as samples than in stock just a ball of each colour, I bought two colourways, although the made sample is from the one ball so far, not sure how far it will go so not sure what it will be exactly.

didn't do any more of the second MOSS STITCH cushion but I did start the 

SHELL STITCH diagonal cushion while still in bed 

had to get up for more yarn so now snuggled on my craft room sofa among the mess again lol
how does it get into such a mess?

Phil has come down some mornings and I have been under the spotty blanket with a cat on my feet buried in balls of wool with a hook in my hand hehe...

and I wonder why my back aches some days.

Have a fun filled day everyone x

Where has the week gone?

Lost track of this week, can't believe it is Friday tomorrow?

Decided to unpick the Cashmere cowl...needs a size bigger hook I think.

But I did take one of my cushions to Knit and Natter yesterday and now it is finished all but buttons

and the second one is almost halfway too

As i was almost finished it fell into a rectangular cushion cover at 41 rows

thinking of taking this unfinished project that is so soft on my holiday with me, very light to pack.

must finish this striped felted pot off too...

and this bag, so many unfinished projects....tut tut!

Had my book back to do another edit on, black and white version, colour next and then it goes to the printers, but won't be released until next May, long process isn't it?
Almost forgot my new walking shoes to show you very very light, very confortable and very soft too

wanted something other than trainers, bit posher hey?

Have fun hus to all x

Morning All...sorry not got the right Buttons yet so Cashmere Cowl another day.

Must be very quick off to a CHRISTMAS FAYRE with Knit and Natter girls and I am late already.

So just sharing a picture of all the possible cushion samples to go with the new 

Craft room rug I bought a couple of weeks back

Moss stitch, a ripple and a shell stitch all simple patterns and quick to do.

THANKS FOR THE INTEREST IN YESTERDAYS POST

NOTE ON OILED YARNS:

No they don't feel oily or messy to use but they are sort of stiffer and no where near as soft as after washing.

Usually on cones and COLOURMART sell all over the world..Sue and Richard are very helpful and friendly so do ask if you want any more info.

I believe the oiled yarns are for machines use really, so they don't snag up when yarns are being made into large scale fast garment production.

Factory or home knitting machine use...makes the yarn easier to use with machines

Must dash catch up later and hopefully with buttons

have fun x
