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

  2. 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

  3. 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?

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