๐Ÿงถ Tunisian Crochet day - and WOW! ๐Ÿ˜

I think it's safe to say these ladies absolutely smashed it! ๐Ÿ‘

Today was an introduction to Tunisian Crochet - learning the basics understanding the techniques and getting comfortable with the gorgeous Tunisian texture.

And LOOK what they produced! And I'm even more impressed that they then decided to really play with this - trying different hook sizes, changing colours on either side to see what effects they'd get - they were not at all frightened just to try something!

Lots of lovely moments today and I truly could not be happier with how today went.

Happy days in the Made by Margo craft room ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงถ

๐Ÿงถ BLANKET DAY ๐Ÿงถ

Today is all about blankets - we have a zig-zag chevron blanket, a tester for a major mosaic crochet blanket that's being planned, 3 x Charlotte's Universe and a Janey Crow Magic Circles blanket - all uniquely beautiful!

Blankets are definitely a labour of love ..... lots of stitches that gradually become something you can snuggle under. I love seeing how everyone's colours and combinations start to come together and become completely their own (some even dress o coordinate with their blankets!)

That's what crochet is all about - learning, undoing, trying again and eventually looking at what you've made and thinking.....

"I made that!" ๐Ÿ˜

Yesterday was a proper crochet kind of day! ๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’œ

We started the morning with our Gingerbread Houses - and went right back to basics!

Before we start happily crocheting away, we took time to make a swatch and check our gauge .... because nobody wants a lovely Gingerbread House that turns into a baggy Gingerbread Mansion! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿซฃ and it never hurts to learn how to do a tension gauge properly!

It might not be the most exciting bit of crochet, but getting that tension right at the beginning makes ALL the difference.

And last night at it was time for our Hexagon Cardigan class ..

Lots of colour, lots of crochet, lots of hexagons (thankfully!) and lots of going round and round.

What fabulous colour choices I hope you'll agree!

Right wonder what blankets are coming my way today!

What a lovely morning!

A lovely group of beginners - and what I particularly love is the reaction to what I show them they will make by Christmas! Laughter!

Learning the basics is just the hardest, how to hold a hook and yarn - this can't be underestimated - it can take ages and no being able to knit doesn't help one bit!

So proud of them - well done!

And whilst they were sweating (and probably swearing) in one room the coffee and crochet girls were getting on with their projects whilst putting the world to rights! And quietly not envying the pain of the beginners!

BAVARIAN CROCHET - DONE! ๐Ÿงถ

What a lovely day in the Yarn Room!

Today we tackled Bavarian Crochet - and there was plenty of concentration, plenty of crochet and plenty of tea, cake and chatting! โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ˜˜

Thank you to everyone who joined me today - you were all brilliant!

Next up - my next lot of beginners start their crochet journey on Tuesday morning, the Gingerbread House starts on Wednesday morning, the Hexagon Crochet Cardigan on Wednesday evening (fully booked), Blanket Class on Thursday morning and Tunisian Crochet next Saturday all day.

Any of those take your fancy then please drop me a message ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงถ

๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’œ Cottage and Crochet Day ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงถ

The good news - the antibiotics are definitely kicking in and I no longer feel like there's a pack of razor blades down my throat.

Not pushing myself today though as all energies had to go towards getting our little holiday cottage ready for today's guests - everything else ie cleaning, washing, ironing can wait!

However, it's going to be a nerve wracking and VERY exciting time for us over the next few weeks as the recipient of this blanket is due to make his or her appearance very soon! So it's every spare minute on this project at the moment.

Tomorrow is our Bavarian Crochet Class and I'm so looking forward to it - they are going to absolutely love it!

Well today didn't go as planned.

What started as a mild cold a day or so ago turned into a throat full of razor blades by today!

So the Blanket Group cracked on without me (as long as there was cake they were fine!) while I went off to the Dr's who I am extremely grateful to for seeing me so quickly.

Now on a 10 day course of antibiotics so have been curled up on the sofa and working on the Magic Circles blanket instead!

Swallowing a tad easier this evening already so ๐Ÿคž

What a beautiful morning - birdsong and mad spaniels!

Then a day working on the Gingerbread Crochet House (still places available - starting next Wednesday!)

And back on special blanket this evening! If the recipient won't mind hanging on until about November it might get finished!!!! ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’œ A VERY CROCHET-Y TUESDAY!๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงถ

This morning was our Crochet and Cake session - everyone brings their own projects, and put the world to rights! It was soooo good to see them!

My project? Janey Crow's Magic Circle Blanket! All the bits are done - just background and putting together!

This afternoon's mission was to prep the Gingerbread House - if you look at the photo there's a definite colour missing ๐Ÿซฃ one phone call to King Cole and they sorted it immediately! The green will be with me before the Gingerbread Class starts next week! (Still places available).

Busy day!
