Color Blocking

 

Hi people, I hope you are well.

Its a new month full of new opportunities.

I already love the new month, but I think

its not new any more ,it being the 5th day ,right?

Anyway back to the topic of the day-colour blocking.

so it has been there for a while

and

 I believe its coming to diversify how we perceive colours

for instance a while back

it was deemed to be colour clashing if your outfit is not colour co-ordinated

ever thought of colour blocked crochet.so I took a journey to look for some

photos  on the web -pin interest

 so this is what I found

 yellow and grey-stunning

this skirt looks so pretty

these slippers are so cute.....

yellow and light blue or is it grey?

oh well this  colour combination is super

so in conclusion its possible to colour block crochet.

so I took up the challenge and make a blanket. Used black and red

I know its so common but I tried right?

put myself out there and came up with

this blanket

so I made huge granny squares and joined them.

 its been a long way coming but here we are ..

only the edges are remaining to finish it off.

so any ideas on what stitch I ought to use on the edges?

suggestions please ...:)

Cell Phones in The Air for the LADIES

Cell phones in the air,

As praises I declare,

For the women in this land,

I wish I had a band,

That had a tambourine,

And a violin.

 

 

She is always out of bed first,

To the kitchen, making breakfast,

Before the family heads out its well fed,

With thanks to GOD to ensure through the day they are well led,

Packs their lunch,

All packed with love, a bunch

 

As she runs her errands,

Thoughts of her family precious as diamonds,

Looking out for them,

From collar to hem,

Well dressed,

Always blessed

 

Ooh how they love the homemade,

A scrumptious Meal,

The clothes those are handmade,

Love the way to their skin they feel,

All women made

With all the zeal.

 

Happy women's day to all the hardworking women out there,

all your efforts don't go unnoticed.

 

Crochet Earrings #5

Hi all,

i hope you are well.

My week has been great.

Taking over from last week ,

on shapes ,

 this week i go with circles

they are far the most difficult to crochet.

Ensuring that roundness is maintained,

i must say

is not easy

 but 

i nailed it.

i used two colours 

brown and white.

the outcome was brilliant

they remind me of the sun..

kinda...

and since tomorrow

is Valentines Day

i hope you have a good one...

enjoy the rest of your week...

don't forget to leave a comment

Crochet Earrings #3

The days are going fast,

cant believe January is almost over....

I hope this month has been awesome for you.

For me, i believe it going on well

and

am loving some spontaneous things

 that am doing,

like attending a gig,

 not knowing anyone and making new friends....

thats a big step for a laid back

person like me.

i went for Chillage at the Village Market- a bowling event

that goes down every last friday of the month

i must say i will make it a point of going every month....

bowling is fun i have to admit.

Now onto crocheting,

Since i started the  weekly crochet earrings

two weeks ago,

i believe this piece is the most inspiring one that i have made so far.

i didnt have an idea of what i was making..

i just came as i was working on it..

enough trumpet blowing

i would like to thank
Kate from Stiches,Scraps and Sparkles in the sun
