Beavering Away....

I have had an extremely busy fortnight, and my Cals have not advanced very much.  I realised  a couple of days ago why.  All my cals are complicated, I need to have the pattern in front of me and I need to count all the time.  When I finally get time to do crochet in the evenings I am too tired to do them.  So I needed a project  that did not require me to peer at the pattern. 

Now there is something about the word Cal that attracts me and when I read Sandra’s (Cherry Heart) post about her proposed Weekender Cal,  I was hooked so to speak.  While it can be any blanket, she and many others are doing a Hexagon blanket.  I looked at her pattern and knew I would get bored with plain hexagons so I decided to put a popcorn flower in the center of the hexagon and use some colours that I have been longing to use for a while. 

They are addictive and just the job for when I just want to sit in front of the TV and crochet.

The other Cals

Any way here is how far I got with the Sophie’sUniverse Cal.  I hope to do a few rows this weekend.

I am at a standstill with the Mini Rings Cal as it is really quite large already and if I follow the pattern it will be too large for my bathroom.  So I might just stop it where it is now and add my own edging of some sort.

And as I said the word Cal lures me, I have been keeping a close eye on another Cal from Yarn Inspirations.  I've been doing just one motif just to see what it is like and it is quite strange but interesting.  Goodness knows where it is going next week.

Doily

I do have a finished item to show – doily no 5 for my doily bedspread.  The last row took me ages!

Penny Lane 

Finally, Ambrose caught in the act! 

Every morning my lovely tidy pile of crochet projects are in a right mess.  I knew it was one of the cats. 

But which one.

Evidence!

sweet dreams!

Have a lovely week and thanks for visiting.
