'Crochet keeps our hands busy so our minds can rest. It is a gift to help quiet the world around us, if even for a moment. To create -- and think of those we create for --is a quiet prayer of hope, love and dreams all wrapped up in a hook, a book and a ball of yarn. Author Anonymous. Thanks Cynthia.

First ever 'SIBOL SQUARE SWAP!' - Interested? / Squares from France and the UK!

Hello Everyone!

A breezy day here today in the UK, sun is shining, but we have also had spots of rain and it's a bit chilly still! Nevermind!  I have some lovely Squares for you again today!

The first set of Squares have arrived today from France and Kathy has sent them to me, thank you very much, they are gorgeous!

Kathy has been busy with the 'Spring Challenge'.  She has Crocheted Squares with the sun on! Just what we need, I'm sure you will agree.  These Squares send out warmth just looking at them. Also a beautiful Flower Square in my favourite colour Pink.  I am very grateful to you Kathy, thank you!

Gorgeous Squares, I love them.

The other set of Squares were from crochet3love (UK). crochet3love has already sent me some Squares for our Royal Wedding Challenge, but today she sent me some more and I'm sure you will agree they are really pretty!

Thank you both very much.

Aishwarya over on our Ravelry Group has very kindly organised a Square Swap. If you are interested please pop to Ravelry. You will need to sign up. Thank you Aishwarya, have fun Ladies!
 

I just want to show you this book before I leave you.  I went in to the Hobbycraft store today and picked up this book, thinking there were lots of Crocheting patterns. It really was quite appealing, the cost £10.99. But when I got it home flicking through I feel that there are more Knitting patterns rather than Crocheting, so I think this one I may have to take back.  But I think it's new, so I just wanted to show you.

It's called 75 birds, butterflies & beautiful beasties to knit & crochet - Lesley Stanfield.



It says 2011 at the front, I haven't seen it before. Thought you might be interested.

Bye for now and thanks Kathy and crochet3love once again, great Squares! I love them.

  2. HI Ms.Sue! I try not to buy the pattern books that have both crochet and knitting patterns in them. I usually end up liking the knit ones better!! And I'm no knitter! :) Take care! xoxoxo
