Crochet competition results, Beyond the Square Motif # 2 and Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2012

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!  

Have a look at Lindy's scarf on her blog Who I Am  
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.. 
have a peak here...  

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 
Barbara's gallery page where you can see 
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...
