A Crochet Shawl
I've begun another crochet shawl this time all in treble stitch, I liked the variegated yarn with this pattern the change of colours. I found a white yarn with spots of colours in pink, lilac and yellow and used this yarn. The increase is four treble at the begining and end of each row and I had to unravel three rows as I did just two treble stitches at one end. There are thirty five rows and now I am over halfway. The yarn is 100g DK acrylic and started a second ball, I like crocheting shawls at the moment. And the next item I would like to make is a blanket/throw in blocks of colour of various sizes and knitted, probably
I have been making purses and small items as well for a Market Weekend at Heartlands in Pool Cornwall in June with my sister we have a stall each for two days and it is free!

A Fringe and Bits and Bobs
The rug is now finished with the fringe each end it didn't take long all together to make using up what I had available, wool acrylic and cotton.
I made a few crochet lengths then put the motif I had made earlier in the centre to make a cushion, quite colourful I think with floral cotton material on the back.
I have begun a crochet shawl, a first for me, with a few pastel colours of cotton mix yarn I had and as I don't like to be wasteful I used them all and will see how it looks as it grows. It has 67 chain stitches, so quick to do, it will be 60" in length. I will probably need to buy more of the same yarns or similar to finish. It is a friendship shawl this is the pattern.
I have started filling my new room with a few craft books looks good I think so far.
