It’s been a busy few weeks in our household, with birthday celebrations amongst other things, meaning crochet time has been limited.
But I did manage to complete and submit my first three samples for the International Diploma in Crochet. I completed a square of double crochet, a square of trebles and a square of double trebles…
…and already I feel the benefit and value in completing these samples as part of the course. Never before have I concentrated so much on each and every stitch! Now I’m eagerly anticipating their return and the feedback I’ll receive.
Thinking about coastal colour inspiration, whilst walking our dog this morning I took these photos…
It’s been a dull grey day (our English summer has temporarily left us!) and the murky weather meant there were no sharp horizons and everything was rather hazy. It gives a totally different feel to a coastal walk.
So as always I am inspired by our coastal surroundings and I will add other coastal colours to future samples I need to submit. I’m keen to add grey into the mix as even the pebbles on our local beach are predominately greys.
Happy crocheting everyone and till next week…
love the misty sailing boat photo
Thank you! It was a beautiful sight!
They look like very fine samples to me – I’m sure they will more than pass!
