I love crochet!

Finally getting there with my Granny Squares. I am loving crochet - and am planning on turning these into a cushion cover.



I did have a go at this pattern to make these gorgeous coasters (as recommended to me by Claireabellamakes):

However I got a bit stuck, so I'm going to concentrate on getting my granny squares finished before I start on this. I'd highly recommend checking out YvesTown though as they offer some great free patterns.

I really REALLY want to be able to make amigurumi toys like the amazing Fluffernutter Crafts who made me these gorgeous skulls:


Seriously - this girl is so talented - if you don't already follow her blog you should go do it now! I love these cute little bunnies she made:

  3. Fabulous granny squares Fran! I too have been working on 3 colour/3 round ones, but for a small lap blanket. Mine are not as consistently neat as yours however!

  6. Lovely squares. Maybe have a go at my granny square with a heart in the middle - it's a nice (fairly easy) project if you're looking for something different > http://wp.me/pXKkO-5e
