So a while ago I stumbled upon one of these little books in CNA. But the number on the book was already 43. I thought...ok,let's take this one and see. So in the packet is a little ball of wool, a beautiful colour and then of course the booklet which is filled with all kinds of patterns and techniques in crochet. I thought DARN!! I missed a lot. You see, at the end...which is NUMBER 120!! You finish this crafty throw. Off to CNA I went again..asking them what the chances are to get the back copies of this magazine. Today, i am short of only 10! I have them all! Well up to number 70 anyway. So will start this throw anytime now. But like all things I don't fancy all the blocks, so here and there I will make an adjustment and make the throw my own creation. In the end this throw will cost me like at least one of my kidneys!!lol!! ok but have them now, so need to finish it. I worked out to do about at least 3-4 blocks a week! I am still busy with my other blanket, but that is getting a bit heavy and warm on my lap now in the summer, so will do that as my winter project.
Oh man - I got the first few and then stopped - still want to learn to Crochet!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! My maid is going to teach me how to do a crochet edging on a page like Stacey Cohen does. If you don't know her you should Google her blog and follow - she adds little bits of crochet to her pages & they are awesome!
ReplyDeleteLol! I remember doing this years ago Tania. I collected a whole range of weekly booklets about 'Interior Decorating'. I even got 3 files with the range to store it all neatly. I actually found it very usefull and got heaps of tips from there and even made my first roman blinds following their directions. :) Can't wait to see what you do with yours.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks for popping past my blog and always leaving lovely comments. I love reading them. xx
Have a great day! :)
Crochet was the first hobby I took up shortly after I married. I crocheted many table cloths and runners and haven't touched another hook since then. Will be watching as you continue to finish your throw.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your crochet project. I've collected a few of these different series... sounds good at the time then they seem to go on and on and by the end I had had enough.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, I went out and bought the most recent copy and completed the sample square in no time. How did you manage to get all the back copies? Please email me at amatthysen@xsinet.co.za. Many thanks
