Fee from Chipper Nelly

The lovely Fee from Chipper Nelly is so creative, 

and is currently holding an inquest into the death 

of a favourite chicken on her blog .. 

(IT WAS NOT THE PIGLET!)

Even Fee's labels were gorgeous! 

Shhh... let's take a sneaky peak...

Fee blogged about her squares here.... 

You will probably be surprised to hear that she 

hasn't been crocheting for very long!

Fee hasn't told me which pattern she used... 

can you let me know please Fee then I will 

update this post....ta! 
(updated to add - Fee let me know that this pattern is from a 
lovely website which is new to me here...)

The second square has an appliqued crochet 

heart hand sewn onto it... so pretty! 

(Edited to add... The pattern is from here  - Thanks Fee!)

Fee used Debbie Bliss Eco yarn to make both squares... I love her sense of colour... the combinations are scrumptious...

Fee sells her gorgeous vintage designs blocks at 

Not On The High Street  or maybe you could win one in Knitsofacto's giveaway...

Thanks so much for taking part in the BBB 2012 Fee.

ps:  Free the pig...it wasn't him!
(edited to add... apparently the pig was LOCKED IN with the chicken.. the case may be a foregone conclusion....gulp!)

Cute As A Button Squares

A last minute entry for the BBB 2012 came from 

Laura of Cute As A Button . You can be forgiven for 

not knowing this blog...Laura only began blogging 

in January this year!  Awww...a baby blog...

Welcome to bloggyland Laura!

The 2 squares that Laura sent are just gorgeous! 

Cute As A Button shows some lovely crochet 

projects, and it it nice to hear about Laura's recent discovery of the 'crochet quarter' of bloggyland....

Laura's first square is a Granny Square... 

Laura says, 

"This pattern was shown to me by my Granny.  

She was taught to crochet by her Aunty, so who knows where the original pattern came from"! 

Now there's a thought... I wonder who DID make

 the first Granny Square... that is one of thoughts

 that makes my head hurt.. like thinking about 

what is at the edge of space... ouch!

Laura's second square truly is as 'cute as a button'!

  Laura says she found the pattern at Beata's 

Canadian blog - Rose Hip ...oh my goodness 

you are in for a treat if you follow that link! 

The yarn Laura used was.....Freedom Sincere DK 100% Organic Cotton (CREAM) and 

Katia Eco Cotton (PINK & PURPLE) 

If you pop over to Laura's Coriandr online shop 

you will find some very sweet things that Laura has made combining her sewing and crochet skills.

Finally as a celebration for getting her first 20 

followers (she is nearly there), Laura is giving away an African Flower Scarf ... you have until the 

12th March to sign up!

On the subject of lovely giveaways...over at Knitsofacto  Annie is celebrating...you can win a beautiful book and one of Fee's blocks from 

Chipper Nelly... thanks Annie!
