Last week I showed you my entry for Elisabeth Andree's
crochet competition on her blog About Crochet ...
Well I wasn't lucky enough to win...but my goodness,
you should see the two winning entries...
They are amazing!
I loved it as soon as I saw it.
It is a sophisticated, clever design that shows off
the texture of two crochet patterns beautifully,
and Lindy's husband takes beautiful photographs
of her (go and see)!.
Lindy has also crocheted some squares for
the beautiful Blogger Blanket...have a look here...
I can't wait to sew them into the blanket but they
aren't in the country yet - they are coming all the
way from Minnesota, USA!
Sharing first place in Elisabeth's contest was
Donatella of Inspiration and Realisation...
Donatella crocheted this brilliant chain link scarf in
gorgeous greens - the pattern is on her blog too.
If you want to see all of the competition entries
pop over here - I think they are all amazing!
Still lingering at Elisabeth's Blog today she posted
about a new blanket she has made which is beautiful..
It's a very clever use of colour isn't it?
I had better show you my second motif for the Beyond
the Square Challenge 2012 over at Barbara's blog
made in k-town ....her it is all pinned out...
and again after blocking....

| MOTIF # 2 |
If you want to be really impressed have a look at
everyone's motifs in the challenge.
Finally pop over to see the squares that Barbina
has made for the Beautiful Blogger Blanket of
Simple, beautiful squares are on their way from
Germany and Barbina is going to post the pattern.
I foresee little 'Barbina' blankets popping up all
over Pinterest!
I'll be back tomorrow with the contents of an
envelope that arrived here on Friday...

ReplyDeleteThanks Janette... I may well make one myself.. :)x
Deletegreat square! Looks lovely. My squares should be there soon. I appreciate your wonderful comments on my scarf. It's been amazing to meet so many talented crocheters out in the world!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindy.. I hope Elisabeth does it again.. Just taking part was a really good experience :)x
DeleteI wouldn't have wanted to be the person judging the competition, there were so many great entries. Although I think your cushion is gorgeous. The motifs are working out nicely too.
ReplyDeleteAnd when you get all the entries in for your beautiful blogger blanket you are going to have your work cut out for you. That is going to be a big undertaking, just sorting the squares would be bad enough, let alone joining them.
xXx Helen
Thanks Helen... I said exactly that to Elisabeth, though in the end she chose the same two as me, so i was quite happy! I have started laying all the squares out.. it is so lovely to see them together...like a crochet square world conference! :)x
Deletethank you for linking my chain-link scarf! all the designs were truly beautiful!
