Another month another block

Hurray, it's March, which means a new block has been posted in the Ravelry One-block-a-month CAL group.

This month it's Cygnus by Chris Simon. It's lovely and I could not wait to get started on it. And so I did, tonight. I finished it in 2.5 hours, including an extra round with dc's (and 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in the corners) because it wasn't big enough.

I now 'only' have to do a second March block, a second January block and 6 filler blocks and I will have 2 strips for my afghan all finished. This is going to keep me busy for a while.....

Crochetalong

It's been a while, but I've been keeping myself busy. I've done two scarves (one I still need to take pictures of), three more hats, and today... a brand new block!

Ravelry has been fuelling my crochet fire, and I found a great group of people who are all crocheting the same project each month, a so called 'crochetalong'.

This block was the January one, and it took me two attempts to get it right, but hey, I'm quite chuffed by the way it turned out. (More pictures can be found on my Ravelry page.)

The square is called Dream Catcher, and it's designed by Sherri Welch.
