It seems that quite a few bloggers have only just
found our beautiful blanket project and need
more time....

So I hope you won't mind too much if I delay the end date for the
blanket until Prince Charles Birthday
blanket until Prince Charles Birthday
29th February 2012
This gives us all another 5 weeks... so if
you have been worrying that your squares
won't reach me in time, or if you have been
kicking yourself for not joining in time...
Get a wriggle on and whip up a square or two!
Look at the beautiful squares on the blanket's
own page (the link is at the top of the right hand column)

...and see what you could win! The whole blanket!
An exciting little package with a beautiful
cup cake card
and 6 perfect little squares...
1 pink granny square from a pattern in the book,
'Happy Hooker', by Debbie Stoller - p.67.
Joanne used Rowan Handknit cotton yarn
and the square measures 11cm x 11cm.
One...
Two....
Three...
Four! Simple Squares from the book,
'Cute and Easy Crochet' by Nicki Trench. p.36.
Again using Rowan Handknit cotton, each one measures 10cm x 10cm.
And finally... *swoon* ....
This GORGEOUS 11cm x 11cm square which
has a pale pink background, a red red rose
and green ground behind the rose to look
like leaves.
This one is called the Camella Square and
again comes from 'Cute and Easy Crochet'
by Nicki Trench. (P. 88)
Do you need anymore inspiration to make a square
and send it to me to be sewn into our blanket?
Then pop over to a blog which is new to me...
Dana's lovely Crafty Minx blog. Dana is
making a square a day and they are
stunning!
Finally...today is Tuesday.. yep Tuesday again already!
The girls have all been making great progress this
week over at Carole's blog - Gingerbread Girl
Did I hear you ask about my progress?
A measly 2.5 squares and I haven't taken a photo!
One more week to complete my self-imposed
deadline of getting up to date by 31st January....
I think I have about 40 to make this week!
P.S: I'm off to another job interview tomorrow morning.. wish me luck!
Oh wow, those squares are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope your job interview goes well, you are one step ahead of me, I haven't even been asked for interview yet in my latest job hunt.
Good luck.
Thanks! It went well-ish... I think! Good luck with your own hunt.. it can be a bit daunting can't it :)x
DeleteSending you lots of luck for tomorrow, hope it goes well.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to extend the date, so many people are blogging about it!

ReplyDeletegood luck on the interview I'm sure you will shine like the star that you are.
Aww Shelley that is such a sweet thing to say! Thanks very much :)x
DeleteSo if you were a piece of stationery what would you be? And if you don't think of a good answer you know they'll ask you!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck for tomorrow!
Good idea to extend the date, although as the blanket gets bigger there is even more sewing to do......I keep addin to my pile and I'm making a special effort to make sure they are all slightly different sizes ;-p
Love the new squares, especially the Rose one, how clever.
Have you thought of an answer yet?!
Ha ha Faith... you made me laugh just before I went off to the interview today.. and I was still smiling about it when I went in! They didn't ask...phew! I was going to be a pair of pinking shears..great at the job they are made for and crinkly at the edges! I can't wait to see your squares...whatever size they are! :)x
DeleteLove the one with the flower! I have never tried one. This blanket is going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine a whole blanket with roses like that... sumptuous! :)x
DeleteI don't mind at all that you extended the date I think it's fab, plus my squares are on the way but I had my fingers crossed they would get there. P.S I'm crossing my fingers this works as blogger wont let me comment lately xx
