I was pleased as punch when I noticed the little
Airmail sticker on a brown envelope... the first
squares for the Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2013
have arrived!
Shall we take a sneaky peak inside?
Four squares for four entries from Trish and
a lovely little card giving me all the details.
Here they are....
Pattern no. 35, 'Tricolour Square - P51. |
Gorgeous colours Trish!
Pattern no. 71, 'StarFlower'. P69 |
The yarn Trish used is Patons Sincere.
Pattern no. 166/167/168. P.100 |
Pattern no.15, 'Corner Square'. P.41 |
The patterns are all from '200 Crochet Blocks' by Jan Eaton.
and comes from Maryland in the United States!
She blogs about her running, the books she
loves and crochet...amongst many other things.
Having missed the Beautiful Blogger Blanket
of 2012 Trish was really disappointed...
so it is lovely to see her squares
get here first this year!
Thanks so much for joining in Trish!
Four squares = four chances to win the whole
Beautiful Blogger Blanket of 2013!
Last year I put photos of all the squares in a folder
on the bloggy side-bar here. I shall do the same
this year, but also add the pattern details
as I go along so that the folder can be used
as a resource for choosing patterns....so keep
an eye out for that.
I hope you won't mind if I add a little note here:
If anyone likes scarf yarns I am selling some
excess stock on Ebay this week... greatly
discounted prices here!
