Sunshine squares

I have finally got round to bringing out the orange wool and doing something with it ! I have a confesion- I don't like orange, not on it's own, not with yellow. I see things that other people have made and it looks nice but I take a look at the ball of orange wool and can't think of anything I want to make !!





Well,this Tuesday was nice and sunny and I thought of a bright sun in a blue sky, are you with me ? Are you thinking what I'm thinking ?
Then, I had to work at the craft shop and took my hooks and wool with me for a bit of hooky time killing between customers.



So I made these...



I used my daisy middle squares, you can find the pattern on my blog if you like it.



(this square is desperately in need of blocking)

I also used my method of making corsages with 8 petals and worked it up into a square. I was feeling terribly clever until I got home and realised I had a book which explained very clearly how to make exactly such a square!



Anyway I have 2 sunshine squares for the post, I will make one for your frendship blanket Sue. I must have been snoozing because that project had passed me by. I'll make you something nice with no orange...

    Hi Louise,
    I know what you mean about the colour of wool/yarn. I feel like that sometimes. Those two balls look pretty uninteresting on their own, but just look what you have done with them! I can see what you are trying to achieve in these squares. The blue, the sky, the centre the sun. I think its fabulous. Brilliant idea, and it will look lovely in our Sunshine Blanket. It's nice to see what everyones comes up with.
    I shall be posting photos of Blanket no. 4 within the next few days, and you're in it!
    So please look out for it.
    Thank you very much for taking the time to make us a Square or two!

    Louise, the squares are so lovely, very sunshiney. Blocking does make a huge difference, something I have just learnt recently.
