52 Week Crochet Challenge ~ Week 2

Q2. Start a crochet notebook, journal, scrapbook or blog.

Well, here we are at 'Little Wren Cottage' my brand new woolly blog! I am very disorganised when it comes to keeping my crochet wool and patterns altogether, and can loose notes  for months on end especially now as we settle into our new house, I can't find a thing some days!!! Hence, me finishing my blooming flower cushion last Friday, months and months after starting it!!

I have also started a crochet notebook/journal and plan to use it each week to make notes on the 52 Week Crochet Challenge so I can see where I am up to!

 

My next plan is to start another crochet hardcover A4 file/binder. I have one somewhere bursting at the seams with patterns I've collected over the years but it must still be packed away in a box. A good excuse to buy a nice new shiney one! 

I look forward to popping by your blog if you are playing along with the challenge.

52 Week Crochet Challenge ~ Week 1

Q1. How do you celebrate National Crochet Month..

This is an interesting question to kick off the 52 Week Crochet Challenge over at Ravelry.

I am making some bunnies and abandoning them!!! Awe !!!! I have a very dear friend who does the same with little pieces of artwork that she has painted and I thought... as we are heading towards Easter, it might be a nice idea to do the same..

I have seen one or two or maybe 300 of these bunnies popping up on my Instagram feed and the temptation to have a go was overwhelming !! So, I had a look on Ravelry for a pattern!

It didn't take me long to find one I can tell you!

This little bunny was made from scrap wool but I quite like his rainbow finish!

   .... some bunny loves you!

The pattern I used is from the beautiful Green Dragonfly blog.

I hope you enjoy the pattern if you decide to make one!

Also, for National Crochet month I am planning to meet up with a friend and help her have a go at crocheting. I am really looking forward to that!

So, how are you celebrating?

Happy National Crochet Month!

  Did you know it's National Crochet Month?

   No... I didn't but I do now!

To celebrate I am doing a number of things! I've joined a new group over at Ravelry an online knitting and crochet community.

I've taken the plunge and decided to take part in the 52 week crochet challenge.

I LOVE a good challenge and this is an absolutely super challenge organised by the lovely Julie Oparka over at Red Berry Crochet.

It's never too late to join and you join in the weeks you wish to take part in.. I'm hoping to share my week one with you soon!
