But first I couldn't resist doing another hexagon using a different pattern this one has 3 different hexagon motifs, one has lots of clusters, one with a few less clusters and the third has fdptr so you get 6 lines from the fourth round to the first (like the blue & red one in the photo) All the hexagons will have a final & joining round in pale cream.
This is how far I've got only another 100 or so to go.
I've also made a cushion, yet to be backed, in 100% cotton for a change I usually use DK.
I haven't done any Amigurumi for a while except for Jodie's jigglypuff so had a little play making
this little jelly fish,
Finally some flowers made whilst sitting outside on the few dry days that we have had, some are brooches and the smaller ones are going to be made into headbands..
I've also bought this gorgeous Kaffe Fassett wool and a circular knitting needle to make some socks. I haven't knitted for years, I think the last time was when I made a set of Jean Greenhowe scarecrows when I was pregnant with daughter no 2 who's now 19!
On Saturday I had a lovely surprise in the post, a beautiful flower brooch made by Lyn. We were swap partners for the freestyle swap in May and she sent me the brooch as she felt there wasn't enough handmade things in the swap. There really wasn't any need as I was delighted with my swap but it was wonderful to receive this one, which I put on straight away as I was on my way out wearing a taupe top, the perfect match.
Thankyou Lyn it was really kind of you.

Thank you for becoming a follower of my blog! I really love your crochet - I can knit but can't crochet, and I am quite envious!

A lovely selection of crafts - your hexagon blanket is really one of the nicest I have seen! The colours and details are quite fantastic.
Haven't you been doing well! So many wonderful things,

wow! I really like your hexagon blanket! I haven't tried hexagons yet... Still cracking on with square blanket number two, seem to have been doing it forever!
I really like doing the flowers and amigurami... I think it's becuase you seem to get miore for your efforts sooner! Instant gratification! lol
Looking forward to seeing how your second blanket turns out :-)

How beautiful!
I am currently making a crochet blanket and it is taking forever.
Everything is just wonderful. You must get such satisfaction creating something so beautiful. Sigh - again you have inspired me to go back and have another go at it all. The cotton cushion just about got me out of my seat and searching for my hook.
Weldone!

Simply gorgeous! Lovely colours and patterns. I look forward to seeing your ripple blanket and socks!
Oooo that's a gorgeous blanket but I must say I LOVE the little jelly fish too, soooo cute. Wish I could crochet. I've got the Jean Greenhowe jiffyknits book, it's very funny, well it is when I try to knit things from it :)

The blanket is absolutely stunning and I bet you could get a small fortune for it if you sold it.
Looking at your work it makes me feel like getting out my crochet hook once more.

How lovely to see your collection of crocheted items. I am learning crochet after years of knitting only, and although I found it hard at first, the lovely things you can make won me over in the end.
Yours is a real inspiration, especially the hexagon throw.
Great blog, I will be back.
