4 weeks ago by saraphir Grellow..... .... wonder if I’ll ever tire of it?!
2 weeks ago by saraphir I’ve only really had time to crochet on the bus recently, but the next stage of my #flowerwheelmandalaseries is on the hook... this is another version of the #dropsnepal colourway, which I very much hope will be warming me as part of a blanket this winter! The pattern is free on my blog, link in profile.
1 month ago by saraphir The Medium Flower Wheel Circle Square and the Medium Flower Wheel Coaster Square have to same stitch count do you can mix them in a blanket/Afghan as you wish... they also fit two along the side of the Large Flower Wheel Coaster Square - and a large version of the Circle Square is on the hook! It’s a bit too warm for #dropsnepal blankets at the moment, I’m looking forward to snuggling up underneath it come winter! The patterns for all of them are free on my blog, link in profile.

1 month ago by saraphir Here’s the Scheepjes Catona version of my #mediumflowerwheelcirclesquare .... I do love these colours and think I might end up with more than one cushion!! They’ll go well with the light great cover on my sofa! The pattern is free on my blog in both UK and US terms. Link in profile.
1 week ago by saraphir At the moment there is just so little time to crochet... I am itching just to sit down and forget about everything else but then there’s meetings, emails to write, funding applications to write, performances to plan etc etc.... the list is long. And all the while my next square is lying lonely on the sofa untouched for over a week. but I did have a lovely meeting in the Lake District this weekend and because I couldn’t sleep I got up at 5.30 and went for a long walk and sat with my feet in the stream and enjoyed
