The past few weeks I have noticed a few friendly bloggers participating in a new Bloomin' Crochet-A-Long, Chrissie Crafts and Ladybird Diaries are both working on the Hexagon Flower throw that is in the Nicki Trench's Cute and Easy Crocheted with Flowers book. Another blogger friend A World of Imagination is working on a hexagon blanket too which is inspired by Attic24's hexagon pattern, and seeing all of these inspired me to start making hexagons for a new hexagon blanket....because why the heck not!!
If you want to know who is all taking part, every Thursday Ladybird Diaries and Chrissie have a list of bloggers on her weekly Bloomin' CAL post. It would be a very good way to get some inspiration too!
Take care!

ReplyDeleteThank you, I can't wait for the day it will be complete!
DeleteYour hexies are looking real pretty and I always think it is good to have others to get you along a big project like this! Enjoy xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you! It definitely is good to have that motivation of others on a big project....although I haven't even worked out how big mine is going to be! The pattern doesn't specify a number of hexagons to make :D

DeletePretty colours and I love the pattern you are using. I've been thinking of Getting the Nicky Trench book as I've seen some nice things online from the book but I'm still working my way through her Cute and Easy book still and really shouldn't start any other projects before I finish some. Last count was 25 WIPs!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have heard some good things about the Nicki Trench books, and I know how you feel about WIPs although I don't think I have quite that many!
DeleteIsn't the link a great way to find new people. Thank you for your comment, without it I wouldn't have found your lovely blog. I think your blanket is going to be brilliant. Jo x
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes I love joining in on CALs because you get to find lovely new people :) and get to watch what they are making for the CAL!
DeleteHi Hazel, hope you enjoy the book, loving your hex blanket.
