Colour Blending Yarn, workshop

This is going to be one of the workshops I hope at the new store..




Just finishing off the fill-ins but every round is a difference colour combo
Lots have trouble combining colours so I thought this would be a great class to do
You would get the pattern and yarn included in the Workshop.

And if you think you have seen this before...you have its a sample piece form 2011 put in a cupboard and not quite finished...

Well it is well on it's way to being finished now....and it's still one of my favourites along with the bobble blanket in these pictures

Favourite colours too

 In total there were 8 of my designs in just 2 magazines and she said I had something in the third one too but she didn't buy that one...
lovely write up about my crochet thanks Claire
from Inside Crochet

 this little pot is an old design but I still love it
 the very popular TARTAN throw and Cushion from earlier this year
hanging in my dining room before its border was added
 and the 4 new designs just released





 and one of my Diamond designs was being used in their SUBSCRIBE NOW..and get the pattern and yarn as this months subscription gift

The original idea for the blanket

 Blowing in the wind after washing 
makes a great scarf too...


I did suggest she stop and help me sort my craft room out,
 but no support there..she was off to read her new magazines! lol 
can't blame her it's not a quick job....

the wall behind my Craft Room bed needs changing i think..lots of new designs to hang up for inspiration...
and so many boxes of samples need sorting....
