Finally up to date again....

After two separate weeks away in quick succession it's taken a while to get my posts back up to date, however I've finally made it! I sense this will be short lived though as I'm off on holiday again tomorrow.......

Wednesday 31st July

The pattern for this square has been adapted from this one:

I needed to add some extra rounds to make it large enough.

Bright Flower......

Using up the last of the turquoise yarn on the central flower:

Tuesday 30th July

This is square 51 from the crochet blocks book, I really like the central flower pattern - it'd make a good badge too!

Alhambra......

Another one of those squares where I have no idea where the name comes from:

Monday 29th July

Square 14 from the crochet blocks book, unfortunately I ran out of pale green before the final round so had to edge it with dark green instead.

Band of Bobbles.......

Another square using the bobble stitch to good effect:

Sunday 28th July

This is square 34 from the crochet blocks book.

Thunder and Lightning....

Saturday 27th July

This 'lightning' square is number 70 from the crochet blocks book.

Big Round.......

This is one of my favourite squares created recently:

Friday 26th July

The central circle uses the cluster stitch to good effect and I really like the combination of solid corners and the lacy sections in the darker wool. This is square 173 from the crochet blocks book.

Bobble Diamond.....

I really like adding texture when using plain yarn as it adds a bit of interest to the square and these bobbles do just the job:

Thursday 25th July

This is square 4 from the crochet blocks book.
