What to do! what to do!

Hi, a quick little post today.  I have been playing around with the crochet hook this week itching to start a new project.  I have finished my green jumper and will post some pictures next time.  I was browsing the internet and came across this pattern



I scribbled down a bit of the pattern, went away to try it - got in a mess and then couldn't remember where I had seen it in the first place :::::::: after several attempts I think I have cracked it.  It is groups of three trebles done in a "zig zag" way starting with one and increasing with each row and then decreasing until you are back to one! I have no idea if this is how the pattern intended, but it seems to have turned out alright.


 

This was an early attempt which looks more like squares - I like this too and have plans for this pattern.  But the prettiest way is this way


I can see a cushion or a bag in this pattern.

I have also done a swatch of the Granny Stripes that Lucy has done on her blog - I have lots of odd bits of stash left which would be good to use for a blanket



Head buzzing, I don't know what to start next!!!

Watch this space!

Speak soon xx

    I totally get the head a buzzing. Surprise. I'm usually so full of ideas I can't get started.

    Love the Zig-Zag... New and fun. I'm always up for some new ripplie looking thing to try.

    Ok, so, yes, I know I need to go pick up my hook. Still peddling around today, but got the errands run.

    Toodles,
    Kate

    Kim the stitch is called Entrelac and you can find it online....
    I have a small blanket I made last year...once you figure it out it really is much easier than it looks, isn't it?

    Love the first one and I think a bag in lots of summery colours would be very useful.
    Cheers

    Know how you feel - too many ideas. I keep stopping, starting and frogging. It was easier before the internet, then it was only patterns and books ☺
    I love the top one too - another way too interesting idea - NO!!!! Brain is on overload ☺
