Shell lace.....

A week in the Lake District supervising silver and gold D of E expeditions means a week in a tent with hit and miss Internet access!
Sunday, whilst waiting for the silver groups to pass gave me time to make this square of shell lace (number 30 from the crochet blocks book):

Random.....

Today's square has used up a number of odds and ends of yarn leftover from other projects:

And to go with the random yarns it is a totally random pattern, made up as I went along.

Too little time.....

An evening of packing and cooking and more packing left little time for crochet. So a basic granny was all I had time for:

Granny hexagon.....

The inspiration for today's 'square' came from a pack of tissues:

The cool hexagons on the wrapper prompted me to make one of my own:

Steps.....

Today's square starts with 29 chain stitches, working 28 dc starting from the second chain from the hook. After 4 rows I introduced the white yarn for the final 4 stitches, this format was followed adding an extra 4 stitches in white every 4 rows until all stitches are white creating the stepped pattern:

Half way......

Today's post is number 183, 182 done already and another 182 to go! So to signify the half way point in my project I have made a square which is in two halves:

Six rows of trebles crochets in pale purple followed by six rows in white.

An openwork square......

A simple square using double and treble crochets worked in rows to create a square which has rows of holes in it:

This is square 10 from the 200 crochet blocks book.
