Beautiful Blogger Blanket - finish date delayed to end of February and One-a-Day-ish!

So many lovely people have been contacting me for my
 postal address for the Beautiful Blogger Blanket.. 


Some of them live half way across the world! 

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

 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! 

Here are some squares that arrived at the end of 
last week from Joanne of Rose & Dahlia.... 


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 
 and on the Ravelry group too here.

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!
