Scrumble for Prudence

Hey guys!

So, I'm going crazy in the hospital, so when I hear that Prudence Mapstone, the Queen of Freeform,  needs flower scrumbles, I jumped.

So, here it is. All crochet,  all acrylic (and a touch of metalic thread) and all for the project.

So, Mz Mapstone, please let me know where to drop off/deliver said scrumble for the collection.

Being haunted by big purple ball of yarn.........

Damm boy.

Let me explain......

Jason (DP) came in to see me in hospital tonight, 
so after 4 days of 24hr call he finally got to come in & brought me hugs!

He also brought me this!

The 400g monstrosity of purple varigated acrylic yarn that haunts my nightmares!!!!!

780m of possibilities. .... what the HELL am I going to do with this?

He said " I thought you'd like some yarn to keep you occupied. Did I get the right one? "

How could I say no?

Shameless plug!

If you LOVE freeform crochet or not working with a pattern, you need to go look at this blog!

I have to say, I love the work of Prudence Mapstone

That DAMM trefoil sq!!!!

Hey everyone, 

I'm still in hospital. .... and when I'm in. Hospital I start to go a little "stir-crazy"...

Now, most people who read this know about "THE RUG"

I decided, as when I was rushed to ER  and admitted I had some stash in my bag, to start  with the patterns I had and get going.

Now, I love Ravelry, and some of the ladies on their are amazing at designing.  However I cant seem to get this pattern right..... so no offense to the original designer, but I'm rewriting the pattern.

Below are pics from the last two days of fighting with "the trefoil"

(&yes, I blocked the sq on the chair next to my bed)

Till next time,

Lizi

Laugh of the day......

Oh god, where is some pasta when I need it?

Hookiquette

So, still in hospital,  but feel my mojo is coming back, so I'm back on my ONP rug.

Starting with the four trefoil sq's, I am using mama24boyz's Irish Pride pattern (available on Ravelry).

I have made before with some small issues, so am making changes as I go, and will send them to mama24boyz's when I'm done.

This is also a good time to practisey own personal "Hookiquette" or hook etiquette. 

Rule One- Always center-pull the yarn skein/ball.

Rule Two - always work in you ends as they come up.

I fell apart when it came to rule two today - as it shows in the pic.
The left shows the trefoil WITHOUT the ends woven in, the right with the ends in. The left feels like I'm working with an octopus! !!! Too many loose ends. It was fixed after I took the pic .... but I've learnt my lesson.

Anyway,  still got a long way to go.

Hugs,
Lizi
