 Spiraling Into Spring 12" |  Cathedral Converts 12" |
 Reflected Dragonfly 6" |  Water Lily and Lily Pad 6" |
The patterns for the top two are for 12" squares, but using Caron Simply Soft yarn and a G hook, I make 9" blocks. Even then, sometimes I still need to add rows. (SS yarn is such a thin worsted, and looks best - to me, anyway - worked with a G hook, which is often smaller than what the pattern calls for).
For the same reason, when I do a 6" square, like the bottom two, I need to add rows.
Spiraling Into Spring was a challenge to begin; I'd never done tapestry crochet before! But the pattern was well written and there were good pictures. A clear head is needed and just take one thing at a time and it goes well, and then it's easy. In fact, once I got going, I loved it, want to do more like this, and expanded my crochet knowledge, which is always fun!
Cathedral Converts was easy and fun, and I loved how the popcorns made the corners. I modified it by changing to blue for the popcorns to stand out; it was not hard to do.
Easy modifications were made to the 6" Reflected Dragonfly square, which was adorable on it's own; I'm just a tinkerer! I wanted a square to go with it, and so wrote the pattern for the Lily Pad square, and think they look cute together.
If you make any, please let me see - I love to seeing other's creations!
Until next time!
