Colour Packs

Colour makes my heart sing!

I describe myself as a crochet artist

but if you look at my crochet its all very simple . . . 

its the colour combinations that excite me!

This colour palette for my turquoise granny square blanket

 is so beautiful. I designed it with myself in mind planning a 

granny square blanket with a turquoise background for my own home.

The granny squares I made earlier

(you can read about them here)

were made up into samples for my workshops

 and I've decided to keep these for future inspiration.

You can read the tutorials by following the links here

1. How to make a granny square

2. Crocheting squares together from the front

3. Crocheting squares together from the back

4. Continuous join as you go method

So I've stared again!

I've had a longing for a blanket with a turquoise background for a while now!

This time its going to be made with my new love

 hexies!

If you missed my post a few weeks ago

 you can read about my first 2 hexie blankets 

here.

I am using a pattern from the lovely book

Granny Squares by one of my favourite crochet designers

 Sue Pinner

This week I've been making batches of the 2 round flowers

 which will form the middles of the hexagons

I am always being asked about how I find

 all the colour combinations for the flowers! 

This is the part I love, I guess have a Mathematical brain helps! 

I will write a blog post about this soon to help you all out!

I'm varying my work

 with some flowers 

then some joining

and I've adapted the 

Continuous join as you go

 to work for my hexagons

Its really coming on fast as this join is so easy

and I am so delighted with the turquoise background.

It is everything I wanted and really makes the flowers pop!

I am delighted to tell you all

 that I am now working with the lovely people at Deramores

 and they have begun selling my colour packs!

So if you fancy a gorgeous turquoise blanket
